I don't think it would be possible for me to "go back" to 6 places, even if I hadn't personally annoyed people who would be relevant to my quality of life in at least half of them and weren't known by my conglomerate-induced reputation to powerful people in the rest of them.
I am not first-generation anything, or even second or third generation. Nobody ever assumes that I'm Jewish, including Jewish people. I'd probably have to be Scandinavian to be whiter than I am, and then I wouldn't necessarily be the right kind of white to look like the traditionally accepted American.
I think that the world's apathy toward human rights abuses inflicted on nonwhite populations everywhere is the most worthwhile concern about what people who are elected to offices in the United States look like. Things are far from perfect in the U.S.; they are farther from perfect in a lot of other places, but not for the majority of white people in predominantly white countries.

If this type of abuse were being inflicted on people who look like me, in the numbers in which it's taking place, the world would be doing something about it. The people who look like me, in the countries where I'm "from," are not having as many problems as the people who don't look like me in most of the rest of the world. If I were an elected official, which I intend to strenuously avoid being, I could pretty much forget about people who look like me outside of the United States in the context of how much less consistently unlivable my life here is. Nobody should be forgetting that about nonwhite populations; many of them have unlivable lives, not just sad or frightening or painful but unlivable every day.
If the discussion of where people are from is going to continue, I am suggesting this as its main topic.
