Ex.
As a multi-ethnic nation, it should not be surprising that Asian Americans are becoming an increasingly large and important sector of the "rainbow nation" some Americans prefer to think of their country as.
Does this sentence structure= '......the "rainbow nation" which some Americans prefer to think of their country as.' ? Or others?
Can it omit the "which"? And why?

As a multi-ethnic nation, it should not be surprising that Asian Americans are becoming an increasingly large and important sector of the "rainbow nation" some Americans prefer to think of their country as. /这句子的结构不太好-有些别扭。 因为在句子前面有形容America的短语，所以 ‘it'不能不代表America。你可以这样表示： It is not surprising that Asian Americans are becoming an increasingly large and important sector of this multi-ethnic nation or "rainbow nation", as some Americans prefer to (think of/) call their country.
