I would like to know why "the" is added before American variety?
If I say "nor in the English variety" , will it be correct?

Is it ok to say "way" instead of "variety" in the above phrase.

You need more context to know for sure. In this case, I happen to know that I was thinking "variety of English" when I wrote that phrase. "Way" would not work there.

If you're talking about the American variety of: man, entertainment, cabbages ... then, no, you can't use 'way'. You'll probably understand why we like a full sentence, giving some context.
