Re: U.S. Geo-Ancestry
Posted: Sun Sep 29, 2013 9:33 amThe problem with this whole thing is that it's based on how individuals identify themselves. That's how you get a bunch of Southerners calling themselves "American".
Bollocks.
Bollocks.

It's legitimate. You don't see Englishmen saying "I'm a Saxon" or "I'm a Norman." After many generations have gone by, nobody really knows where all the roots of their family tree extend, and the distinctions are lost.
The southerners who just call themselves "American" are probably more accurate than the Wisconsin farm girls who call themselves "German" but don't know the difference between Wagner and Bach.

There's a lot of sparsely populated Germanic territory.

My point exactly. How Irish are the Irish, and how American are the Americans? And aren't Mexicans from America?

I think I heard somewhere that 5th Generation is usually the cut off... but not sure, depends on the poll/census questions I guess?

Yeah, Danes and a few others are omitted, too... something tells me they might all be combined into "German", partly because they tended to intermarry once they came here. Today, being German is fairly popular, but my grandfather was not promoted, at least partially because he was German. If you had asked folks 3 decades ago, they would have been more likely to pick out any other nationality than German. Today, those who are mixed (most Americans) are likely to just say "German"

LOL.. my high school history Teacher was born in Canada of Scottish parents who migrated to Canada and then to the US, because it was much easier to migrate from Scotland to Canada at that time, and then migrating from Canada to the US was not that hard.
So.. may be a tad bit of truth in that.

And so the reticence of the U.S. to join in WWI and II becomes clear...
