Your statement makes no sense. Withing every culture, there are always some people who don't stay within the norms of that culture. That doesn't mean the culture itself is invalid; it means that people are individuals, which includes some anti-social, dysfunctional, rebellious, and personality disordered individuals who commit crimes and racist behaviors.
The majority of Americans fit within the American culture description. There are regional and personality variations, of course, but in general that's the American culture.
A school project paper and Wiki? Not very authoritative sources.

There´re many cultures in America because of many different races, culture backgrounds and mentalities.

That's the point. It's the blend of immigrant cultures and the pioneer spirit of the early settlers that make up the American culture.

There´re only one true American culture is Native American.

There never was a
single "Native American" culture. The tribes of each area had their own unique cultures. Some of them have maintained their cultures in modified ways, within restricted regions, such as reservations. But it never was a
national culture.
