It's pragmatism (William James, Dewey, Pierce, Rorty). Transcendentalism never really caught on in academic philosophy departments, though it was influential in literature departments. So even in academic philosophy, Americans value pragmatism and realism!

Of the relatively small percentage of voters who made it to the polling booths, a majority (presumably) voted for Obama. I personally think it's very creditable that many Americans voted for him, and it must mean that a lot of white Americans are not racist, but the nation as a whole doesn't send out the message that whites are not racist. Look at the history of white cops shooting unarmed black men, for instance. In a genuinely non-racist society the numbers would be far fewer, and the penalties for the cops would be much stiffer. Or look at this board, and the immense support for the actions of white cops you see here. I assume a board like this is a sort of microcosm of white America.

Saying America is racist makes it sound like most people in the country are racist. If that were true, then a lot of those racist people would've voted "against" Obama in those two elections. But Obama won the popular vote in both elections.
There probably are a lot of racists in the country, but I don't believe most Americans are racist.
