Although I don't think it's because I "don't really have a local identity to begin with." For some reason, ever since the earliest days of radio broadcasting the Midwest accent has been the Officially Acceptable Accent of American Mass Media. I don't know why, but I do know that the accent itself doesn't signify a lack of local identity. (Johnny Carson would be the exemplar of the breed, in case you're wondering.)

What American accent do you have?

Neutral. Not Northern, Southern, or Western, just American. Your national American identity is more important to you than your local identity, because you don't really have a local identity to begin with.
