German-Americans: The silent minority

Why are we so awesome?

>America’s largest ethnic group has assimilated so well that people barely notice it

economist.com/news/united-states/21642222-americas-largest-ethnic-group-has-assimilated-so-well-people-barely-notice-it

>German-Americans are America’s largest single ethnic group (if you divide Hispanics into Mexican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, etc). In 2013, according to the Census bureau, 46m Americans claimed German ancestry: more than the number who traced their roots to Ireland (33m) or England (25m). In whole swathes of the northern United States, German-Americans outnumber any other group (see map). Some 41% of the people in Wisconsin are of Teutonic stock.

>Yet despite their numbers, they are barely visible. Everyone knows that Michael Dukakis is Greek-American, the Kennedy clan hail from Ireland and Mario Cuomo was an Italian-American. Fewer notice that John Boehner, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Rand Paul, a senator from Kentucky with presidential ambitions, are of German origin.

Companies founded by German-Americans tend to play down their roots, too: think of Pfizer, Boeing, Steinway, Levi Strauss or Heinz. Buried somewhere on their websites may be a brief note that “Steinway & Sons was founded in 1853 by German immigrant Henry Engelhard Steinway in a Manhattan loft on Varick Street”. But firms that play up their Germanic history—as Kohler does, in a short film shown at the Waelderhaus—are rare.

>German immigrants have flavoured American culture like cinnamon in an Apfelkuchen. They imported Christmas trees and Easter bunnies and gave America a taste for pretzels, hot dogs, bratwursts and sauerkraut. They built big Lutheran churches wherever they went. Germans in Wisconsin launched America’s first kindergarten and set up Turnvereine, or gymnastics clubs, in Milwaukee, Cincinnati and other cities.

We wuz Germanz'n Scheiße!

who the fuck is Michael Dukakis

KRAUT'D

A lot of Germans in the Midwest. Racial tension has evolved to the point of most whites/Germanics being ok with each other just because you're white. I'm primarily polish, however I welcome my established German neighbors.

I live in the Midwest. My great grandpa and grandma moved here from Germany looking to create a better life. He got a job at a brewery pushing around beer barrels all day, worked his ass off, and eventually became a higher up at that brewery. One thing my grandpa would always talk about is when someone would mention his dad being "German" he would reply with...no, we are American now.

underrated post

Probably before your time young 'n.

Presidential candidate in 1988 against George H Bush, made the mistake of looking ridiculous in a tank, and of being too lenient in releasing a black guy who went on to kill again:

>Germans got all the best farmland in the country
>all that lebensraum, many times bigger than Germany
>Hitler comes along and wants even more space for Germans
Why are krauts so greedy?

On the other extreme there were the volga germans who did not assimilate at all, even after years of living in Russia.

>Why are we so awesome?
>silent
Yes, good cuck, prep the bull and then hide in your cuckshed.

I wish you would be silent in Europe as well instead of trying so hard to ruin it for everyone else.

My People

It's our large benis that require maximum space

>implying the world wouldn't be a better place

>German-American
>ethnic group

I know it would. I would do it for America.

>AYO HOL UP SO U B SAYIN DAT WE B SUM FINNA DOITCHAMERIKANER N SHIT

After a failed revolution in Germany in 1848, disillusioned revolutionaries decamped to America and spread progressive ideas. “Germanism, socialism and beer makes Milwaukee different,” says John Gurda, a historian. Milwaukee is the only big American city that had Socialist mayors for several decades, of whom two, Emil Seidel and Frank Zeidler, were of German stock.

>the eternal kraut strikes again

The silence was bred by WW1 and WW2 you can see German as a secondary language in US dying as the wars broke out because assimilation was required to not be put in an internment camp or be considered an enemy in general

The white race would be best served under kraut guidance
Anglo-judaism is the eternal enemy

Surprisingly, one of the least cucked groups.

Did all non-cucks leave Germany for the US?

Here is an equivalent graph with English Americans, note how the fall is consistent as more people come to consider themselves as simply "American" and the percentage of whites in America decreases.

The reason why the """"""""""German"""""""""""-American graph is so random in comparison is because it's bullshit. It's simply a reflection of the "mood" of the people at the time of the census. Please explain how the number of """German"""-Americans can decrease by 15 MILLION in just 10 years, and then suddenly increase by 5 million in the next 10? Ridiculous.

Just as another interesting observation, in 1980 there were literally MORE English-Americans than German-Americans. But in 2010, the number of """German"""-Americans is almost DOUBLE the number of English-Americans.

The sad thing is that we had this once before.

>you cant "sneak" up on hessian mercs george

Theres literally a german bakery a block away from work that sells tasty schnitzel. They also have their own festival in june here (georgia).

Were you the aussie in the other thread, saying that Brits make up most of the population of the US, and that most Americans LARP as Irish or German? I remember you.

WHO /Pennsylvania Dutch/ HERE?

he ran for prez in 1988, but autism defeated him

Can someone please explain to me the Great German-American Genocide of 1990-2000? It's literally worse than the Holocaust, why have I not learnt about this?

Also I wasn't aware that the USA was currently running an ethnic cleansing program that targets Anglo-Americans. You'd think that after 30+ years people would start to stand up against it, no?

The fourth reich will rise

are there more of these? one with irish people?

If you aren't german and don't live in the yellow here, you aren't white. All the anglos bred with natives, italians aren't white, irish aren't white, southerns are all octoroons. Its just us guys, its all up to us to unfuck this country ruined by angloism.

Theres a town right by me named Austerlitz its pretty comfy honestly they also put on an awesome oktoberfest

Yes, my mission is to remind Americans that they are Euromutts and that clinging onto European ethnic identities is both futile and unfounded.

he's why jason chaffetz has a career in politics. or something.

It's based on last names. They're not actually "German".

>t. Rodriguez Sanchez

>they also put on an awesome oktoberfest
Isn't it convenient that EVERY German American community in America seems to be Bavarian? It's almost as if they have no real cultural connection with their German ancestors. Hmm.

eternal anglo strikes again

im starting to hate you more than your jew allies

Mhm grandpa was an orphan from the war before his dumbass miraculously found a way to the states.

germans are also the hottest of white people best skin

nice anti-white meme, and the germans are huns too huh?

First off shut the fuck up nobody cares second off most buildings where created in the style of classic bavarian architecture 100 years ago it seems like way to much trouble to go through for muh 1/6th german ancestry

I don't see anything awesome desu. I live a state with a lot of German American mixture. You don't notice them because they are usually all the obese Americans nobody wants to notice. My bro dating a german girl is she a asperger retard idk who I know he only with cause she like a dog easy to care of and easy fuck.

HEIL PENN

Wu kummscht du haer?

Flyover irrelevant states

That's because Bavarians are the quintessential Germans idiot.

They aren't just a bunch of retards who dress funny, the most successful companies of Germany are located there. They bring German discipline, creativity and efficiency to a level which makes the rest of Germany look like niggers.

>America’s largest ethnic group has assimilated so well that people barely notice it

Lol you fucking idiot. They're barely noticed because German Americans faced extreme bigotry during WWI and WWII and suppressed their German heritage and identity.

This included changing names, not speaking German or passing it on to kids, rejecting German traditions etc

Without the Wars, German Americans would be no different from Italian Americans. Obnoxious about their heritage.

...

We could have done such great things.

I'm not saying that your area did not have significant Bavarian migration. All I am saying is that the only German culture Americans seem to celebrate is Bavarian culture, despite the fact that many German immigrants came from other regions of Germany.

The most likely the reason for this is that these people have lost their cultural connection with their German ancestors and are just LARPing as what they deem to be quintessentially German.

Lmao you delusional cunts

It doesnt really matter

Most german tradition is about drinking beer anyway

oi u cunt com to leeds pub i'll glass ya i swer

>Most german tradition is about drinking beer anyway

Hence why you're degenerates being taken over by muslims

Still, to me it epitomises how ridiculous the whole Hyphenated American trend is.

How can you claim to be a German- or Irish- or whatnot-American when you don't even understand your own ancestors' culture?

>reverse muh heritage
absolute cancer

XD

My folk have a wine festival instead. People hear about the "Germanfest!" and come expecting beer and pretzels, and are disappointed by wine and noodle and fish. We do have sausage, though.

...

>Hence why you're degenerates being taken over by muslims
no, that's because we don't drink enough

Stop acting like a woman with your passive-aggressive posting and shitty meme pictures. Get to the point you're trying to make.
Also I'm not Nordic.

Boomers die off, new generations have kids. Are you dumb?

Unless you live in North Dakota, Minnesota, or Wisconsin, you're a Euromutt. But even if you live in these states you probably are anyway given that these states also had significant Scandinavian migration as well as German migration. Oh and also that white =/= 0%, it means 25%. So yeah, you definitely are a Euromutt, which, might I add, is nothing to be ashamed of. It's something you can be proud of.

The best part about this map is that it INCLUDES non whites, including Hispanics. So if you only included White Americans, you can bet that the average percentages would be MUCH higher.

Delete this

I love that pic.

would be better if people don't post this randomly
fact is that one happened ages ago and those regions turnt into some of the most prosperous and on average most contributing regions in history whereas the other region has been that way for the last centuries

Then the German- and English-American numbers should be similar, given that they both started off around the same in 1980.

No one notices because Krauts are basically a kind of humanoid automation designed for Anglo/Jewish exploitation. A highly productive group, with slightly higher intelligence than the negro. Very useful indeed.

kek

Germans are our Germanic brethren and we as Anglos should never again ally with the Jews

>Triggered krautniggers

>southerns are all octoroons

Urine ideot and have no basis to make such an accusation.

>Euromutts and that clinging onto European ethnic identities is both futile and unfounded

I'm still near entirely English after 400 years in the New World. Though I very much agree I have my own unique identity outside of my European root, but it's very closely related.

If you don't mind saying, what state are you from? I think you would probably be in the minority, though.

It has primarily to do with how "German-American" is defined, meaning whether it includes all those of only partial German ancestry, and whether "German" is defined broadly to include Austrian, Swiss, Tyrolean, and other German-speaking ethnic groups. Ethno-racial metrics vary from census to census, primarily based upon who controls the White House at that time.

The eternal Aryan is destructive in nature when given too much power. They quests for European dominance work well on the mainland, but the Anglo has never fallen victim to their games. They must be kept under Anglo control or, at the very least, have Mediterranean leeches dragging them down.

Be wary of calling them brethren.

t. French Canadian attempting to divide the Germanic race

Lol bunch of farmers wih nothing moving to America to ride on the coattails of the Anglo's hard work.

Actually, a lot of the founding fathers were German, the anglos just erased most of the history during the world wars. For example, George Washington's real name was Jeorg Wöshingtonbürger

>anglos
>hard work
Pick one.

You literally imported a bunch of niggers inside your homeland to do all the hard work for you. That's got to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Truly an anglo idea.

>Triggers
Not really, your country you've shitted up with cuck germans and you've managed to go down to 52% white because all of those "Germans" are actually just Jews with German surnames like "berg" or "stein" that are cucking you good.

Have fun.

>Anglo-judaism is the eternal enemy
Idiot. Most of your Germans are Jews.. You think Goldberg or Goldstein are Anglo names?

God you Americans deserve the ongoing genocide that is taking place. The sooner you die out the better for the rest of the planet. Also you're more likely to be circumcised than I am.

Kike.

It's 63% and the rural German areas are the most white and conservative.

He's not wrong. Most European-Americans are aware only of recent ancestry, but genealogists have found that if Anglo-American is defined to include any English ancestry from 1600 forward, Anglos then represent over 100 million whites in the US, with 50 million having colonial roots.

I'm one of those people, despite the fact that the only "full" Englishperson in my family tree died almost 100 years before the Declaration of Independence was signed. Growing up, Grampa Ole was Norwegian, and Gramma Bertie was German, and that was about all I knew about Muh Heritage. I started my personal research with Ancestry.com, then paid a pro to vet what I'd discovered. I never would've guessed I was related to George Washington and had direct descent from some of America's most esteemed WASP families.

>there are 22 million jews in the US

>who I know he only with cause she like a dog easy to care of and easy fuck.
>she like a dog easy to care of and easy fuck.
>she like a dog
>easy fuck
experience?

I think you're confusing Germans with chinks.

And yet it was the Anglos who welcomed the Jews with open arms.

In every second American movie there is a fucking Jew as the main protagonist. Your entire media is in Jewish hands and you dare talk about Germans being Jew lovers?

No country in human history named and battled the Jew as open as Germany. True, pogroms existed but they only affected small populations and didn't change a damn thing. Germany had the courage to stare into the Jews ugly face and not hide and ignore the problem like Anglo countries.

British Americans don't call themselves British American, just "American". When you throw them in with the English, you get America's actual largest single ethnic group.

>du bist skinhead
>du bist stolz
>du bist skinhead
>schrei' es heraus

>Idiot. Most of your Germans are Jews.
You're shaming only yourself now, Rupert/Muhammed

You are a fucking retard. "British" is not an ethnic designation, it is a national demonym encompassing several ethnic groups and at one time included the Irish. Some recent immigrants, primarily English, do refer to themselves as "British-Americans", but the term itself is utterly meaningless and is not used at all by demographers or other social scientists.

Chinks though more intelligent than Krauts are actually less productive because they like to cheat and cut corners. Krauts are diligent, and honest little worker bees.

No one really makes a big deal of German pride or British pride because being a Northern European is the most stereotypical thing you can be

The only reason anyone gives a fuck about muh ireland is because you can make jokes about being really drunk

A fictional character in the 2001 film Donnie Darko.

Germans are also extremely creative, as long as they live in a society that lets them express themselves.
Nazi Germany was the perfect environment for them, because the extreme nationalism, and willingness to experiment and push boundaries brought out the creativity and genius in the German population.
Since then, we've seen the reverse happen. The constant shaming and stifling environment have broken the German people's back. They're still intelligent and hard-working, but they lack the spark necessary to bring out the best in them.
