That we are not a nation of one type or race of people. We have as many different kinds of people as a multi-colored quilt has. We have blacks, whites, Chinese, Japanese, etc. We have Christians, Mormons, atheists, Muslims, etc. We have any and every kind of person known on the face of the earth, excepting maybe a rare tribe of people from Africa or something like that.

I think they're talking about the "melting pot" Idea, where our nation is made up of many cultures, people, and religions, but we are still one with the common thread of nationalism
