The amerimutt is immunized against all dangers: One may call him a german, italian, polack, irish, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him an amerimutt and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: "I've been found out"

"I'm of German decent." Is a mouthful also most evro countries are pretty easy to connect with, it's not saying you're a member of some obscure near extinct tribal ethnic group in a region of a country 99% of the world doesn't know about.

German was the 2nd most spoken language in America before the Feds demonised the Germans in Euroland to justify them entering WW1.

This was my reply:
Not all groups did, British groups, minus the Irish, dispersed, or at least outside of the major cities.
Scotch-Irish/Ulster Scots technically also maintained their group but only in Pennsylvania and Midwest. People say people in Appalachia south of Pennsylvania and the South in general descend from them are believing in a total meme. Almost no one from the region identifies themselves as descending from the Scottish.

We didn't hit the jackpot, we're descended from the people brave enough to leave the small podunk village in Europe and go take up the US's offer of free opportunity.
Europoors are descended from peasants who made a conscious decision to remain peasants.

I've only met maybe two people who actually cared and the one was incredibly immature for her age. I think it's more of a meme online than anything else. Some Americans do like tracing their family history due to their families coming over from Europe and migrating from specific areas in the US. It's pretty cool seeing the timeline, especially if your relatives came from early settler colonies.
The "mutt" meme are almost entirely photos of Mexicans and Cubans, some of whom aren't even in the US.

It really is fascinating. I think east coast cities and media portraying them are in part to blame, burgers see the tight knit immigrant communities and how there are Irish and Italian neighborhoods and it looks like a cool thing and a source of pride. This leads to some r-slur in Iowa saying
I'm Irish
and because they don't have much awareness of the world they literally can't tell the difference.

I will never claim to be anything but American but on both sides of my family I have living, first degree, relatives that live in different countries. Both sets of grandparents came from said countries as well. How much heritage do I get to claim if I wished to do so? Idk I want your guys' perspective on this just bc I'm interested.
