      It would have been a lot cooler if Louisiana had managed to maintain more French influence like Quebec. It was something like 30% speaking French in 1960 and it’s something like 7%* now.

      I didn’t know south Louisiana was so ethnically diverse. The English and French are kinda obvious, but when were there german/irish/italian migrations and why?

      Sources on this? I have a hard time believing there isn’t a county with majority Scottish ancestry.

      I was under the impression that many in the Deep South were Scots-Irish, most that I know personally claim Scots-Irish. Was that just considered “English”, or is it so divided that English winds up as the largest?

      As well, I had presumed that Louisiana had a lot more French, maybe not a majority but at least certainly in a few more counties

      As someone from the Midwest this was a big culture shock when I started dating a southerner. We went to a wealthy party in Georgia once and I was quite literally the most ethnic guy there (I’m Mediterranean white lol). The entire party was white British people. Oh and they had an all black wait staff too. I was like „Reconstruction failed, get me back to the North asap.“

      Its not English its more this weird amalgamation of English-Scotch-Irish. You could basically argue that ‚white-southerner‘ is its own ethnic group

      I don’t think this is accurate at all. A large portion of northern parts of AL, GA, SC are Scots Irish (Ulster Scots), and French is much more prevalent in LA, most maps I see have French being the large ethnicity everywhere south of Alexandria pretty much

      The only way this is true is if they lumped American in with English (yes many people identify as ethnically American)

      For everybody complaing about the „scots irish“ not being there.

      The scots irish are half english. Approximately half of all settlers in ulster came from the north of england

      >This group is found mostly in the province of Ulster; their ancestors were Protestant settlers who migrated mainly from the Scottish Lowlands and Northern England during the Plantation of Ulster, which was a planned process of colonisation following the Tudor conquest of Ireland.[13] The largest numbers came from Ayrshire, Cumbria, Dumfries and Galloway, Durham, Lanarkshire, Northumberland, Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders, Yorkshire and, to a lesser extent, from the Scottish Highlands.[14]

      Everybody is desperate to be Scottish or Irish or just anything except English 😂

      Hollywood did us dirty man.

      People struggle with these maps but this is largely accurate. The vast majority of White people in the South trace their ancestry to England. If anything, it’s understated as people like to claim Irish, Scottish, or “Cherokee” ancestry. It’s nice to finally see a map reflect reality – likely from recent decades of genealogy interest and DNA testing among the population.

      And this map isn’t saying there’s *no* French, Irish, etc ancestry among those counties. It’s just saying English is the *most common* one.

      I would’ve expected a lot more French in Louisiana and some Scots Irish somewhere

    19. Long_Duck_Chuck on

      This map isn’t accurate at all. You’re telling me that the Alabama Black Belt and the Mississippi Delta are mostly “English”? Greene County, Alabama, for example is 80% black.

      they have british and irish ancestry tho theres not much difference between british and irish

      This is why Catholics are basically non-existent in the Deep South outside of parts of Louisiana.
