Why does every white American automatically say they have German

>>3112422
What makes you think they don't? German is the single largest ethnicity in the US

Who cares?

An Ancestry.com commercial showed this guy who believed he was German. He took the test and found out he was actually Scottish.

You mean a commercial for a company that traces your ancestral origins suggests that you dont know them as well as you think you do?

What a shock! This is certainly a reflection of reality

Didn't you make a thread about this like 30 minutes ago?

>>3112432
nope, it's English

look up the most common American surnames, they're Anglo, Mexican and some Irish

It's because in reality white Americans are primarily British descent but everything British was taboo in America for obvious reasons

That and special snowflake syndrome in wanting to seem different or special led to Americans plagiarising their family history (1 Irish great-grandparent, 7 British great-grandparents but identifying as Irish American)

People are more likely to identify with their German/Irish etc heritage because it's more recent, and thus more known. These ancestors are known but their primarily English ancestors have probably been there longer and thus there aren't really records and they don't know for sure where those ancestors came from.

white people love being part of the "cool" races (British, French, Italian (I guess), Germany, etc)

would anyone believe be if I said I've read every single one at least twice? I used to be a hardcore christian
