Hungry in Ireland and Germany.

FUCK THIS RETARDED MAP IT IS WRONG

germans came in continuous waves unlike the english italians and the irish

there was the protestantism, then prussian wars and finally ww1/2, no centralized government means they didn't have the means to stop them coming

>Americans making fun of France "full of immigrants" with 15% non-whites
>Half their country is black or hispanic majority

The whole Europe, except France was a shithole in 19th century.

This is why there are lot of Euro immigrants in New World, except French ones.

Not only are those Black counties rural and lowly populated, they aren't even majority Black. this map is bullshit.

>france is 15% non-White
embarrassing for a tiny European nation state. Unless they come from a colony like french guiana, Europe should be a homeland for Europeans. No one gives a shit about America. Not even Americans.

It's all irish americans larping as germans

KRAUT'D

>new jersey
>NYC
>irish

>the entire map not being brown
Aye aye aye! We needa change that!

Those Finngols in Norhtern Michigan

It's midwesterners larping, they're still majority British

There must be so many anglos LARPing as germans in USofA

There was a stable trickle of German migrants over the course of two centuries. They typically settled in rural areas and had 4-6 kids per family.

>half of the white population is allegedly german
>none of them can speak german
I know that WW1 really fucked them culturally, but this is crazy.

>american identity
are they so retards that they can't get you are supposed to put your foreign ancestors on it? why they answer "american"?

Where can I find a cute a qt french american gf?

canada

>why they answer "american"?
Because a lot of us have been here so long that we don't know anymore. There weren't exactly a lot of bureaucrats or priests keeping genealogical records in the backwoods of Tennessee

British isle descended people who have no cultural connection to Europe and have had families here since the 1700s.

and you faggots whine about nazis that fled to south america

If Germans were so numerous, why we see more anglo-saxon thing on the USA? even italians and irish have more influence than germnans.
they shut their mouth because protestantism and started to larps as anglos changing their german surnames to the english counterparts?

Most German migrants just became farmers in the midwest. Meaning a lot of modern day descendants of German migrants are just hicks living in flyover states. Those in Washington, Pennsylvania, Texas, Illinois and California being exceptions. I'm in California and about half the white people I know have German last names.

After WW1, there was a huge re-education-program where German language schools were closed, inter-ethnic marriages between German Americans and non-German Americans were encouraged and a bunch of them even changed their names accordingly to the Anglos.

People leveled down their pride of german Heritage because of 2 certain events.
Probably wasn't the best time to be one

Being of german heritage doesn't mean alot in USA tho, most of them just integrated with the white native population, only in the Midwest that a big amount of germans were able to create a german identity on it's own.

It means leading ethnicity not race, so White people are broken up into German, Scandi, French, etc. while all Black people are just "black" because they don't know their ancient Tribes (because of slavery).

That's not true at all. Germans were the Mexicans of the 1800s along with the Irish. Some were just wealthier since about a third of them were tradespeople.

Germans had their own communities and German was widely spoken in much of the US until world war 1 when Anglos started bricking Germans who didn't act American enough.

XIX century Germany was politically turbulent with revolutions and in the process of industrializing so they needed to defecate somewhere their excess of poorfags and political radicals.

Britain, except for irish, defecated theirs in Straya, NZ and Canada, thus recycling the waste, whereas Germany, colonies-less, had to use the Murican toilet and lose/lose.

>Spain shitalking other Euros for sending their criminals and poorfags to their colonies

Spain did the same thing and that's how we ended up with North Mexican scum.

>Hawaii
>Filipino

Fake. Hawaii is Japan's 48st prefecture.

There was comparatively little immigration in the XIX and XX desu, and most of them went to Cuba, Venezuela and Argentina. Or France, outside of Latam.

You shouldn't underestimate the breeding-habits of the most powerful race of the world.

meme map, majority of Americans are still of Britisn descent. People just report whatever is the most "interesting" thing in their bloodline.

>make fun of people who do "muh heritage"
>also make fun of people who don't
make up your mind.

Canada would have more Walloons and Ukrainians.

Threads like these remind me of just how pathetic both your average European and North American user is on Sup Forums.
This site should be accessible only to those living between Kazakhstan and eastward to New Zealand. Eurocentric and "western" anons are always the worst shitposters and the worst normalscum.

We have Oktoberfests every year
t. Cincinnati
There's a stigma on being white but not German in a lot of eastern suburbs too

america isn't evenly populated

Are the people that go to those Oktoberfests of bavarian origin?

>tfw not celebrating Oktoberfest with ameribros
