The problem is that the Klan claimed Scotch-Irish Nativism to a country that they were immigrants to themselves, even from the same places.
America is absolutely for Americans, but to claim that American Blacks and American Irish were somehow not American, but the Ulster-Scots were American, isn't even close to reasonable.
Even to claim Anglo Nativism to the US doesn't really work because the population at the founding understood each state to be it's own ethnic group, descendent from the English, and ostensibly English. However, if being English meant fealty to a King who protected Ancient English Rights & Liberties, and the King had abandoned that, then clearly the Americans couldn't be English anymore. In the same way that the Rhodesians, Canadians, and Australians are not English; nor the Boers Dutch.
America's Liberalism is what universalized "Ancient English Rights & Liberties", and created an American Nation. That nation is multi-racial, and starts multi-ethnic until after enough time ethnogenisis takes place and American is a multi-racial ethnicity.
