This surprises me. I had no idea there was so much German influence in the United States.

Yep, from IA and can confirm the Krauts are my ancestors.
I guess the US states are undetermined?
BTW, shouldn't AA states just be "African"?

Well, i am calling bullshit on this.

I looked up virginia census.

african american 19 %, even when you add the total of mixed race which is an additional 3 %. that lists 21% max for the totality of all african states.

Where as european states are divided by country.

So let us add together the 3 most likely under the british commonwealth flag. American (11.4%), English (11.1%), and Irish (9.8%) is 32%

Here in east central Missouri there are German names everywhere! A tiny town nearby named Dutzow for instance. All sorts of German surnames. Married a local gal 33 years ago whose ancestors were immigrants from Germany.

Here are some excerpts from the article:

German-Americans
The silent minority

America’s largest ethnic group has assimilated so well that people barely notice it

...German-Americans are America’s largest single ethnic group (if you divide Hispanics into Mexican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, etc). In 2013, according to the Census bureau, 46m Americans claimed German ancestry: more than the number who traced their roots to Ireland (33m) or England (25m). In whole swathes of the northern United States, German-Americans outnumber any other group...

...German immigrants have flavoured American culture like cinnamon in an Apfelkuchen. They imported Christmas trees and Easter bunnies and gave America a taste for pretzels, hot dogs, bratwursts and sauerkraut. They built big Lutheran churches wherever they went. Germans in Wisconsin launched America’s first kindergarten and set up Turnvereine, or gymnastics clubs, in Milwaukee, Cincinnati and other cities...

...After a failed revolution in Germany in 1848, disillusioned revolutionaries decamped to America and spread progressive ideas. “Germanism, socialism and beer makes Milwaukee different,” says John Gurda, a historian. Milwaukee is the only big American city that had Socialist mayors for several decades, of whom two, Emil Seidel and Frank Zeidler, were of German stock...

...“Germans were not part of the colonial aristocracy,” says Rüdiger Lentz, director of the Aspen Institute Germany. Many Italian and Polish immigrants were middle-class, and they quickly became politically active. German immigrants tended to be poor farmers, which is why they headed for the vast fertile spaces of the Midwest. “The Italians stormed the city halls; the Germans stormed the beer halls,” went the saying...

3 of them say United States?

I'd figure there'd be more Irish in there...

Hawaii is full of Philipinos?

Arkansas is over 75% white.
This map is BS

My great-great-great-great paternal grandparents (+/- a great) were from the Kiel area, in the state of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany.
When they came to America, they settled in the town of New Holstein, WI, not far from Kiel, WI.

Coincidence? I don’t think so.

if that does not fly,,, does that mean my whitey white mostly English self is a minority?


can I get a check?

Why is Florida labeled "United States"? Is it because there's roughly equal parts of many ancestries? Would think it more diverse than TN or KY.

They are the true mutants. Kentucky and whatever that other state is too.

Yep, washington mo. and surrounding areas full of krauts!

I was born in Fla...

Guess I’m an American

I can contest to a lot of drunk Indians in Oklahoma.

My ancestry is 3 Greatgrandparents are German, 2 Danish, and 3 British/Irish all of which are Colonial settlers from as far back as 1600s. The German/Danish ggparents came over 1850-1870s.

Family lore and Ancestry connect me with Lord North, and Brits occupying Ireland in the 1500s

I keep trying to post other maps, but the damn pics are too big...here's a break down:

It's not clear what this chart is supposed to mean or where it got it's "data" from.

I call BS.

FAKE Map !!!!

How old is that map? CT was probably mostly Italian years ago, but not now.
Not with all the liberal-run "assistance" programs and sanctuary cities.

You just proved the map right. It clearly makes a distinction between American, English and Irish. Last time I checked, 19 is larger than 11 and 9.

I think the biggest question is why it breaks out English, Italian, American but lumps all the African countries into one.
