美国人指的是美国公民侨民美国永久居民也可申请美国国籍。[37][38][39][40][41][42]美国是许多民族的家园。因此,美国的文化法律并不把国籍等同于种族民族,而是将其视作一种公民身份,也象征着对国家的效忠。[43][44][45]

概览

大部分美国人并非原住民,而是移民和移民的后代。随着美国领地的不断扩张,夏威夷波多黎各关岛美属萨摩亚美属维京群岛以及北马利安纳群岛的住民也陆续成为美国人。[46] [38] [47]

美国的主流文化主要源自西欧北欧,但也受到了非裔美国人的影响。[48]随着西进运动的进行,路易斯安那的卡郡人克里奥尔人、西南部的拉丁裔以及墨西哥人的文化也对美国文化产生了影响。19世纪末至20世纪初,来自南欧东欧亚洲非洲拉丁美洲的移民也影响了美国文化。在美国,各种文化一方面保持着自身的特征,一方面又相互融合,因此美国常被称为文化大熔炉或文化沙拉盘[49]

美国是一个多元文化主义国家。[53]美国普查局因统计需要将美国人划分为六个种族:白人、美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民、亚洲人、黑人或非洲裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛原住民,以及两个或两个以上种族的人。此外也可以选择“其他种族”。普查局还将美国人分为拉丁裔和非拉丁裔,而拉丁裔是美国最大的少数族裔。[54][55][56]

美国白人

根据2010年美国人口普查,3.08亿美国人中有72.4%是白人。[57]其祖先是欧洲、中东和北非的原住民。[50]另有2.4%是白人与其他种族的混血儿,其中黑白混血儿最多。[57]拉丁裔白人占美国人口的9.4%,在加利福尼亚得克萨斯新墨西哥内华达夏威夷占多数。[58][59]非拉丁裔白人比例最高的州是缅因州[60]此外,非白人在哥伦比亚特区和五个有常住人口的海外领土占多数。[50]

最早在美国大陆建立殖民据点的欧洲人是西班牙人,这段历史可以追溯到1565年。[61]马丁·德·阿圭利兹是第一个生于美洲大陆的欧洲裔,他生于1566年新西班牙总督辖区圣奥古斯丁[62]此外,西班牙人还于1521年在波多黎各建立了圣胡安市弗吉尼亚·戴尔是第一个生于北美十三州的英格兰裔,她生于1587年的罗阿诺克殖民地

根据2017年美国社区调查德裔爱尔兰裔英格兰裔意大利裔是美国的四大欧裔群体,占总人口的35.1%。[63]然而,英格兰裔和英国裔的人口被认为遭到严重低估。因为他们在美国居住的时间很长,一般只会说自己是美国人,而不会强调自己的祖先来自哪里。[注 2]这一现像在长期以英国裔为主的上南方尤其明显。[64][65][66][67][68][69]

在美国所有种族中,欧裔美国人的贫困率最低,受教育程度家庭所得中位数和个人所得中位数位居第二。[70][71][72]

中东和北非裔

根据美国犹太人档案馆阿拉伯裔美国人国家博物馆的资料,第一批中东人和北非人(即犹太人柏柏尔人)在15世纪末至16世纪中期抵达美洲。[76][77][78]许多人是为了躲避西班牙宗教裁判所的迫害,还有一些人成为了美洲殖民者的奴隶。[79][80][81]阿拉伯裔美国人研究所指出,22个阿盟成员国中,每个国家都有人移民美国。[82]

自1909年以来,美国人口调查局一直将中东和北非人归为白人。随着时代的变迁,许多专家认为这个分类已经过时。2014年,在与中东和北非组织协商后,普查局宣布将为来自中东北非阿拉伯世界的人建立一个新的族群类别,称为MENA。[注 3][83]2018年1月,普查局宣布,2020年美国人口普查将不会单独统计中东和北非人。[84]

非裔美国人

非裔美国人通常来自撒哈拉以南非洲加勒比地区[91][92]不过并非所有来自撒哈拉以南非洲的人都是黑人,许多佛得角裔、马达加斯加裔、阿非利卡人,以及来自东非萨赫勒地区的居民并非黑人。[91]

根据2009年美国社区调查,全美共有38,093,725名非裔美国人,占总人口的12.4%。其中37,144,530名为非拉丁裔黑人,占总人口的12.1%。[93]根据2010年美国人口普查,非裔美国人(包括混血黑人)共有4200万,[92]占总人口的14%。[94]非裔美国人主要生活在美国南部(55%) 。与2000年相比,美国东北部中西部的黑人数量有所下降。[94]

大部分非裔美国人的祖先都是来自西非的俘虏,他们被当做奴隶带到美国。[95]1619年,弗吉尼亚州的詹姆斯敦首次雇佣黑奴。英国人将这些奴隶视为契约劳工,工作满一定年数便可获得自由。随着时间的推移,这种做法逐渐被加勒比地区基于种族的奴隶制取代。[96]所有美国殖民地都有奴隶制,北方黑人通常是仆人,南方黑人通常是种植园劳工。[97]独立战争时期,一些黑人在大陆军大陆海军中服役。[98][99]也有些黑人是保王党,在英军服役。[100]1804年,美国梅森-迪克森线以北的州废除了奴隶制[101]南方各州仍保留奴隶制。双方矛盾的激化最终导致了南北战争。最终,北方军获得胜利,宪法第十三条修正案获得通过,奴隶制正式废除。[102]美国重建时期结束后,非裔美国人首次在国会取得席位[103]但他们仍然没有选举权,并依照吉姆·克劳法与白人强制隔离[104]这种情况一直持续至1960年代的非裔美国人民权运动时期,在非裔美国人的持续抗争下,选举法案1964年民权法案得到通过,种族间的权利不平等得到解决。[105]

根据2000年的普查数据,相较于非裔美国人这一身份,绝大多数非洲移民更认同自身的原生民族,仅有5%的非洲移民认为自己是非裔美国人。其中西非移民对非裔美国人的认同度最高(4%-9%),维德角、东非和非洲南部的移民认同度最低(0%-4%)。[106]

亚裔美国人

尽管早在美国独立战争之前就有亚裔生活在北美殖民地,[107][108]但大部分亚裔是从19世纪中后期开始才移民至美国的。[109]2010年,美国有1730万亚裔,占总人口的5.6%。[110][111]亚裔最多的州是加利福尼亚州,共有560万。[112]占比最高的州是夏威夷州,占比57%。[112]城市人口在亚裔当中占比很高,大洛杉矶地区纽约都会区旧金山湾区有大量亚裔。[113]

亚裔不是单一的族群,而是由许多国家的移民及其后裔组成的。包括中国(大陆及台湾)、、日本、韩国、印度、巴基斯坦、菲律宾、越南、柬埔寨、老挝等。亚裔的收入和教育水平高于其他种族,而这一差距还在持续扩大。[114][115][116]

亚裔被称为“模范少数族裔[117][118],也被称为“永远的外国人”。[119][120]

美洲原住民

根据2010年人口普查,美国有520万人(占总人口1.7%)有原住民血统,其中230万是混血。40.7%的原住民居住在美国西部[121]其他种族也不同程度地含有原住民的基因美国黑人平均含有0.8%的原住民基因,白人有0.18%,而拉丁裔则有18.0%。[122]

美洲原住民于45,000至10,000年前来到美洲大陆。[123]前哥伦布时期的原住民发展出了数百种不同文化。[124]随着哥伦布的到来[125],欧洲开始殖民美洲。从16世纪到19世纪,原住民不断减少。其中的原因包括欧洲人与原住民之间的战争通婚[126][127],对原住民的奴役、强制迁移[128]种族灭绝[129][130],还有欧洲人带来的流行病[131]

多种族美国人

随着时代变迁,美国的多种族运动也逐渐壮大。[134]2008年,多种族美国人有700万,占总人口的2.3%;[111]而根据2010年的普查,这一数字增长到了9,009,073,占总人口的2.9%。其中黑白混血儿最常见,有1,834,212名,[135]第44任美国总统贝拉克·欧巴马就是其中一例。他的母亲是白人(有英格兰和爱尔兰血统),而父亲则是生于肯亚卢欧族[136][137](但自我认同为非裔美国人)。[138]

其他种族

根据2010年美国人口普查,其他种族[注 4]是美国的第三大族群,有6.2%(19,107,368名)的美国人属于此类别。36.7%(18,503,103名)的拉丁裔是其他种族,[140]其中有不少是麦士蒂索人[注 5],此比例在墨西哥和中美洲社区中尤其高。但美国人口普查不统计麦士蒂索人。

国家化身

左图是美国的国家化身山姆大叔。右图则是美国的女性化身哥伦比亚,在18至19世纪十分流行。

山姆大叔是美国的国家化身,有时也特指美国政府。该词第一次使用是在1812年战争期间。他的形象通常是一位严厉的白人老人,头发花白,留着山羊胡,其衣着通常含有美国国旗的元素。

哥伦比亚是美国的女性化身。该词起初用来指代美洲,后因非裔美国诗人菲利斯·惠特利美国独立战争期间的使用而广为人知。其后,包括西半球在内的许多地区都将哥伦比亚用作人物、地点、物体、机构和公司的名字。美国政府所在地哥伦比亚特区就是其中一个例子。

美国英语是美国事实上的国家语言。虽然联邦政府没有规定官方语言,但英语至少在28个州取得了官方语言的地位。也因此,一些美国人主张将英语作为美国的官方语言。[142]美国对入籍申请者的英语能力亦有要求。2007年,约有2.26亿美国人(占5岁及以上人口的80%)在家只说英语。西班牙语是美国的第二大语言,约有12%的人在家说西班牙语。[143][144]西班牙语也是波多黎各的官方语言。此外,新墨西哥州政府也使用西班牙语,而路易斯安那州政府亦使用法语,但两州均未规定官方语言。[145]加利福尼亚等州则要求某些政府文件(如法庭表格)必须有西班牙文版。[146]另外,根据夏威夷州法律,英语和夏威夷语都是其官方语言。[147]一些美国非合并属地对原住民语言也给予了官方认可。美属萨摩亚关岛分别承认萨摩亚语查莫罗语,而北马利安纳群岛则承认加罗林语和查莫罗语。

美国是世界上宗教最多元化的国家之一,不论是本土信仰还是外来信仰都能在美国蓬勃发展。[149]大多数美国人表示,宗教在他们的生活中扮演着“非常重要”的角色,这在已开发国家中并不常见,但在美洲国家中却十分普遍。[150]美国是第一个禁止设立国教的国家,其宪法第一修正案禁止联邦政府制定任何法律来确立国教或禁止信教自由。[151]该法条是少数宗教团体和各州人民争取的结果,也受到了新教和理性主义的影响。美国最高法院解释道,该法条的设立是为了防止政府以公权力干涉宗教。此外,美国宪法第六条第三款规定:合众国政府之任何职位或公职,不得以任何宗教标准作为任职的必要条件。该法条以维吉尼亚宗教自由法令为范本。[152]

美国拥有世界上最多的基督徒[153]76%的美国人信仰基督教,其中大多信仰新教天主教,他们分别占美国人口的48%和23%。[154]其他宗教包括佛教印度教伊斯兰教犹太教,这些教徒占成年人口的4%至5%。[155][156]另有15%的成年人自认没有宗教信仰[157]根据美国宗教认同调查,全美各地的宗教信仰差异很大:美国西部(无教堂带)有59%的人信,而南部(圣经带)则有86%。[157][158]

此外,北美十三州中也有部分是由基督徒建立的,他们为了能够自由地信仰自己的宗教而来到北美。其中,麻萨诸塞湾殖民地由英国清教徒建立,宾夕法尼亚省由英国和爱尔兰的贵格会教徒建立,马里兰省由英国和爱尔兰的天主教徒建立,维吉尼亚殖民地由英国圣公宗教徒建立。

文化

苹果派棒球是美国文化的象征

美国地域宽广,人口众多,文化多样性高。保守主义自由主义,科学与宗教在这里碰撞融合。美国人普遍崇尚个人主义,相信自由、平等民主的价值,对言论自由与国家的政治制度十分重视。此外,美国人也比较喜欢冒险。

美国文化主要被西方文化所影响,但也受到了原住民西非东亚玻里尼西亚拉丁美洲文化的影响。殖民时期对美国影响最大的是英国。通过殖民,英国向美洲大陆传播了他们的语言法律其他文化[159]此外,以德国[160]法国[161]意大利[162]为代表的其他一些欧洲国家也对美国文化产生了重要影响。

美国的本土文化也有着强大的影响力。美国的本土节日体育运动军事传统[163]以及艺术和娱乐方面的创新带给国民强烈的民族自豪感[164]美国在许多方面都有自己独特的社会和文化特征,如方言音乐艺术社会习惯饮食民俗[165]
