Maybe, but I suspect a longer view would show this 'common culture' was 
for a very brief time during the the twentieth century.  Because before 
television and radio, what national single culture did we have.  Didn't 
the Swedes in the Great Lakes region have a different 'American' culture 
then that of the Native American's and Hispanics of the Southwest whose 
in turn was different then that of the Irish American, etc.

United States.
