Two, 'American' and 'British'/'German' are different as 'American' isn't an ethnicity.
A citizen of Britain/Germany/US? Sure.
British/German? Again, depends upon how you define the term.
I think they would consider themselves British or German. Just as someone born in the US who isnt white would consider themselves American

There were non whites in Britain and Germany long before 1945.
No it is. Someone who is black or brown who was born in the the UK, Germany or the US is equally a citizen as a white person
And a leatherback is as much a turtle as a box turtle, but that's irrelevant, like anyone's citizenship.

If you adopt the German language, customs, culture, and earn a citizenship legally, then you are a German citizen. Likewise, if you earn American citizenship legitimately and fully assimilate into American culture and adopt their values, language, customs and abide by their laws, then you are an American citizen. Ain't nothing simpler than that.
And no amount of racialist bullshit will change the fact you are an American in this scenario, regardless of whether or not are you a natural-born. The only thing that changes for you is that you cannot run for POTUS if you were not born on U.S. soil, but other than that, if you have completed the naturalization process, then you can't get more American than that.

But, if you weren't ethnically German, you wouldn't be German if you choose to define German by ethnicity (which Loben and Telconi seem to be doing).

They were not founded as white ethnostates just like the US wasn't

Good thing Jus Sanguinis (Right of blood) isn't the only way to classify or grant someone citizenship or nationality then.

Rather it is or isn't doesn't matter as citizenship doesn't define ethnic identity. If I leave the United states and become a Congolese citizen, my ethnicity remains unchanged. Likewise, if a Cobgolese person goes to London and becomes a british citizen, they do not suddenly become an ethnic Briton.

They are British though just like if someone from Liberia comes to the US becomes a citizen and becomes mayor of their city.

'British' is a bit of a weird one, considering that there is no unified British ethnicity (unless you count the Celtic Britons), though each constituent part does have their own separate ethnicity (Welsh for Wales, English for England, Scottish for Scotland, Irish for Northern Ireland).
Though swap "British" for "German" or "English" and you'd be correct.
