This country was founded by elite euro snobs.
Who? Name them. Washington? Yeah right. By 1775 he hated Britain almost as much as he hated France? Adams? You jest. Hamilton? Ditto.
Franklin and Jefferson might fit your definitition - both were quite taken with France. But if you look at the overwhelming majority of delegates to the Constitutional Convention, they were conciously trying to create a new nation without any of the decadance found in European societies.
These guys may have been rich and white - perhaps even snobs. But Euro-snobs? Don't think so.
