National identity is as constructed as minority ethnic cultures

Evidence

National cultures, then, are composed not only of cultural institutions, but in addition of symbols and representations. A national culture is a discourse. It is a way of constructing meanings which influences and organizes both our actions and our conceptions of our selves. National cultures construct identities by producing meanings about “the nation” with which we can identify: these are contained in the stories which are told about it, memories which connect its present with its past, and images which are constructed of it. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 123 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
