Do you reject the right of states to have an ethnic core?

Not necessarily. It just seems so politically incorrect to describe America as a white anglo-saxon protestant state. Are you comfortable with it?

I'm not simply because it is no longer true.
We were a WASP country until the 1960's. The demographic and cultural suicide of the WASP ethnarchy began a century ago and the tipping point came in the 1960's. Kennedy was elected and the "white ethnics" began to take over. Meanwhile the WASP elite stopped believeing in itself. The Immigration acts of the 1960's were the coup de grasse.
Even if you define WASP to include all British protestants and the decendenats of other whites here before 1800, they have been a minority for a generation.

I wish we still were a WASP country.
