      Scotch-Irish is really mostly just Scottish or somewhat Northern English. There was typically little Irish involved. Northern Ireland was more a temporary stop by for Scottish and border English people on their way to the New World than it was a true mixing of Scottish and Irish races.

      This map confuses me because there’s no “other” or “mixed” option shown.

      I have ancestors who immigrated from at least 5 different countries. No single country/continent/ethnic group listed here represents more than 25% of my ancestors, and many of them came from places not listed. I’m sure this is true for many other Americans too, so where are we? How would we even answer the poll?

      Also: what do all these percentages mean? Does 14% English mean that 14% of Americans have mostly English ancestry, or that Americans have an average of 14% English ancestry? Does an “English” county mean the majority of people consider themselves primarily of English descent, or that most people have some English ancestry even if it’s only a small amount, or that that’s the most common ancestry people mention among however many countries/groups they list?

      Luzerne County, PA with all the Polish individuals here. I’m tripping over pierogis everywhere I go.

      Interesting to see Scandinavians all conflated into one group.

      The upper peninsula of Michigan is mostly Finnish.

      Those counties in North Dakota are mostly Norwegian.

      And those Minnesota counties have lots of Swedish.

      The highest concentration of Danish Americans is in central Utah, a vestige of missionary work in Denmark that began in the 1850s.

      The fact that Spanish isn’t an option, New Mexico will be unhappy. Large enclaves up there existed before Mexico was even a state, like 400 years ago.

      This map shows the largest reported ethnicity in every US country. What it doesn’t account for is that most white people and a lot of other groups are mixed ethnicity and which one we pick is somewhat arbitrary. The map does illustrate the geographic destination of different ethnic groups and different immigration waves.

      Hawaii’s largest ethnic group is Filipino. The top 2 languages other than English are Ilocano and Tagalog, both languages of the Philippines. Then Japanese

      I love that the northern French are very very different than the southern French. Not that it’s apples to apples, but I think there’s also a big difference between northern and southern French in France.
