It’s crazy how much German ancestry there is in the US but how little of a deal is made about it compared to Irish or Italian ancestry. I have a hunch WWI and WWII really forced German immigrants and there descendants to quietly assimilate
Why is there a difference between United States and American Indian?
KY and TN really misunderstanding the assignment.
If I took a shot for every time I’ve seen a rendition of this same map…
I have a feeling a lot of these states have English ancestry but they only mention their most “exotic” ancestor.
Based Kentucky and Tennessee
How many of these Americans actually grew up with German or Italian immigrant parents or grandparents?
couldn’t be prouder to be a tennessean
Kentucky and Tennessee filled out their survey with crayons and didn’t understand the question.
If American ancestry is not a thing, neither is Mexican.
What does it mean by „United States“? I don’t think that it means Native American because that is what Oklahoma is marked as.
referring to Native Americans as American-Indians in the big year of 2025 is cringe. let’s stop it, please.
Shocked Illinois is not Mexican.
Obligatory:
Idaho and Utah are English because of Mormon Pioneers.
I am majority of British Isles descent and my ancestors were Mormon Pioneers.
Self reported is the issue
I was raised Italian, have a super Italian last name. Not even 2% Italian. I’m ashkenazi and wouldn’t have self reported that without Ancestry and my father refused to believe it
Interesting that the slave states are most English.
Note to anyone reading this: the reason the “Irish and Italians” get so much attention is because most Hollywood writers came from NYC where the three main ethnic groups from the late 19th century to the mid 20th century were the Irish, Italians and Jews. This is also why the stereotypical rich people in old Hollywood movies have a “Van” in their name as old stock New Yorkers were often of Dutch ancestry. Meanwhile the large population of Americans of German, Polish, and Scandinavian ancestry are ignored in the popular culture.
Let’s also not forget that the big wave of Irish immigration was from the 1840s-1870s, while the largest wave of Italians came from 1885-1920. The worst discrimination my maternal Italian ancestors had was from the Irish who came before them rather than the Yankees, hence why many Italians in lower New England supported the Republican Party as opposed to the then Irish dominated Democratic Party.
„United States“ is such a bullshit „enthicity“.
#So KY and TN are the most American states? 🇺🇸
Of course KY and TN would say United States
Haha I’ve always said in French turns out I’m like 70% Normandy so yep French
Old data. The 2020 census results show a lot more British and a lot less German.
What is an ancestry of „African american?“ By that logic, my ancestors were German American, but I know that’s not true.
Weird map since it’s obviously wrong in many places. For instance, the largest demographic group in Georgia is White (non-hispanic). Same thing for Virginia, N. Carolina, etc.
That map isn’t correct.
Rhode island has more people of italian descent than irish descent.
The Italian one is really interesting and a testament to how much European (and other groups too, especially Latinos who come from more varied backgrounds in NY/NJ from many different subregions in LatAm as opposed to just Mexico) ethnic diversity exists in the tri state area because even as the most common ancestry it’s still less than 20 percent of the population in these states. On the other hand, places where it’s „Mexican“ reperesent a large plurality, like upwards of 40+ percent of the total population in places like Texas.
Of course Utah and Idaho claim to be English. 🤣
