      I’m kind of surprised that Oswego county in NYS is German. I knew a lot of Italians, Canadians and Polish there growing up. Likewise, I’m surprised the Hudson Valley isn’t more Dutch.

      As a Brit who spent a lot of time in the USA, I find this hilarious. In the five years I’d been there, around 4 people told me that they have English ancestry, but a fuckload say they’re Irish, Scottish, Italian or some form of Scandinavian; not a single Welshman, sorry Wales.

      I think I’m correct in assuming that people would prefer to go with an alternate ethnicity because England is seen as the villain or not exotic enough?

      Edit: cus I left out that I spent most of my time in the yellow areas.

      I would like to see a side by side with the 2nd most common. I meet a lot and am german-italian in minnesota. Curious where the mixes are.

      this is better understood if you know north america and south america history

      north america started with britain and france, and later attracted more from central europe

      and spanish and portuguese would transform south america and from there they wanted to be north americans and would try to be more north

      Hmm, with all the ancestry DNA stuff, what constitutes ethnicity? What % does it take to classify as such or primary ethnicity?

      I suspect during census time, it can be more of an anecdotal response.

      As someone from Long Island and of Italian descent that moved out of state, I didn’t realize just how regional that is. I grew up surrounded by Italian American Catholics and now people I work with are constantly telling me about new Italian restaurants/bakeries in our area like it’s some novelty.

      The term white has been constantly changing over the centuries. I believe the original whites were thought to be Anglo-Saxons only. Even Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin did not have many good things to say about German immigrants.

      Can someone explain why New England along with the rest of the Northeast of the US is so “diverse”? Being one of the initial/core spots of WASP colonization and of Thirteen Colonies, I’d expect it to be predominantly of English background. Is it due to major population centers attracting immigrants (like NYC)? If so, why is that also not the case for other major US urban centers?

      I was surprised by the Czechs in Texas and Portuguese in California, by the way!

      I got curious about the Portuguese counties in California. They are Stanislaus (includes Modesto) and Merced (includes Merced) counties. The internet rabbit hole I just went down informed me that Portuguese immigrants came in the 19th century, primarily from the Azores. They were first drawn by the whaling industry and the gold rush and later settling in the San Juaquin valley and taking up agriculture. Their experience in viticulture and wine-making helped start those industries in California.

      In conclusion, California is a land of contrasts. Thank you for reading my book report.

      I don’t know why maps like this fascinate me so much, but thanks for sharing it. 🙂

      Would this change significantly if Turks and Arabs were counted as white? 

    20. Emircan__19 on

      For example a person is half Italian and half English. And then he says “I’m Italian”. There are so many examples like this in Usa. Mostly English ancestry in Usa definitely more than 46 million.

      Good ol’ Towner County, ND representing the Norwegian blood! My grandpa was full-blooded Norwegian and I was just in Norway—crazy seeing my last name on street corners, schools, parks, etc 🤣

    23. miniuniverse1 on

      Fun fact. Kent and Ottawa county in Michigian have the highest number of raw population of self-identifed dutch ancestry. Besting out LA, NYC, etc. Which is insane.

      Ah Pennsylvania, the natural barrier between the southern English and the Germans…

      Shout out to all my Dutch Boys in Orange City, IA! Apparently you got to travel 300 miles to get out of Germantown. Tulip Festival represent.

    29. JoshinIN on

      Can confirm the Grand Rapids, MI Dutch heritage. That’s where most of my family is from and they are mostly redhead Dutch.

    33. Call-a-Crackhead on

      Most white Americans are wildly misinformed about their ethnic background though.

      1. Given the huge area with German heritage; It really doesn’t show in American surnames as much as it looks it should.

      2. The reverse is true for Scandinavian names; They are super common in American, yet they’re basically not shown here.

    36. redstarjedi on

      eh.. the reality is that most whites are mutts. Unless they are immigrants or their parents are immigrants.

    37. mwhn on

      those who are most british and with that attitude are in like alabama, and they dont even associate with that

    39. WhimsicalKoala on

      I love the little weird islands. Like I know that green up in Montana is Butte and the surrounding area. It has the highest percentage of Irish Americans in the US because they came to work in the mines.

      The county in Wyoming I used to live in has a large number of descendants of Greek and Italian immigrants for the same reason.

      Take a look at the changes from 2000 census. Looks like English eroded German in a lot of spots and Irish took over German in Eastern PA.
      Question is, how much of that is people reporting ancestries that are more easy/acceptable to identify with (Irish over German)? Hard to tell

    44. Crabsysadmin on

      Everyone from the real upstate ny (northern three counties) shoutout to people with French heritage !!

    46. HegemonNYC on

      This is so silly. There hasn’t been substantial German or English immigration to the US in 5 generations at least. Essentially all white people, other than little pockets like Amish, Brooklyn Jews or Boston Irish, are heavily mixed.
      Maybe the last name is Swartz, but that’s probably just dad’s dad was German (or Germanic, as ‘Germany’ didn’t exist for many of our g-g-grandparents when they came here), and they are no more than 1/4 anything.

    47. noisemakuh on

      That can’t be correct. Huge amount of the southeast is Irish/Scots

    48. pamakane on

      “American” should be an option. Many of us are so far removed from our original ancestry and blended with other ethnicities through the generations.

      This is a dumb self reported map, which is based more on feelings of where they want to be from than any facts.
