A suffusion of yellow
Being able to come up with lots of examples is a marker of a weak identity, not a strong one.
Identity is rooted in specificity. "American" is a weak identity, "New Yorker" is a little stronger, "24 year old barista raised in Alphabet City" is very strong.
Note that for classes, which are intended to be used for a broader group of characters, too strong of an identity is absolutely a weakness. Fighter's lack of identity is a strength if you want to have a class capable of representing a very broad swathe of somewhat-related characters.
As a Non-American I have no idea how a Barista from North Dakota differs to Waitress from Nevada - those identities are meaningless subcategories. I absolutely know what an American is however
