America is pretty uniform in culture, English ethnicity 80%<

If you had ever visited different parts of America then you would notice the regional differences. In the United States there are cultures that are very different; New England vs Texas; California vs Colorado/mountain states; PNW vs. Florida. America is probably the most diverse country on earth. And we are definitely not 80% English ethnicity.

Seems kind of like minute differences. Maybe Catholicism against Protestantism and Protestantism against Protestantism?

Also, looked it up. According to the American census, 80.0% is English, followed by Spanish (12.4%).

I see your graph (was posted after my comment). But this is ancestry, not ethnicity.*

*American Indian? Really? That is such a macro grouping, there is a very great diversity amongst the aboriginal Americans* and just to call them American Indians? American Indians live in India, not America.

Your image is of primary language not ethnicity

What are we even talking about now?

Your image is of primary language not ethnicity

That's what ethnicity is. If you speak (American) English, you are (American) English ethnicity.

thats not what we call ethnicity...

if you think language is all that defines culture here u are wrong

So what means ethnicity according to you? Genetics?

no to me it is that different ethnicities have different cultural traditions.

ethnicity to me = cultural identity

How do you measure culture other than tongue?

All cultures that speak the same tongue are virtually the same. Brits and Americans both don't take their shoes off in buildings f.e.

i know people who do take off their shoes to go into buildings here. they actually carry slippers with them to be more socially acceptable to others. but they speak english (american), and have ancestors from korea.

You don't understand. Only English do this; noone else does this, I'm not saying all English do this. It's very rare to find someone that is not English but does this by choice.

but they speak english so by your definition they are "english" ethnicity when their behavior exhibits traits that are opposed to the "english" ethnicity. cultural identity to me includes traditions you follow, foods you eat, customs you have, and to an extent, language.

Well, obviously not all English are going to do the same thing. It's just stereotypes.

And these foods are all common within the tongue the you speak.

not true. i eat a ton of polish food cause my family was originally from poland. i dont speak polish

not true. i eat a ton of polish food cause my family was originally from poland.

I told you, the most ethnicities are, they're really just (varying true) stereotypes. There's going to be very many outliers.

Take Corneliu Codreanu. One of the finest ethnic Romanians. His birth name? Zelinski (Polish name). It is all about what tongue you speak.

American Indians Live in America.

Why? Because once upon a time, we though they were the Indian (Indians?). That's why we called them Indians, then American Indians. Both are "Politically Incorrect", which is the largest crock of internal bullshit in America (besides our Politics, Laws, and everything else that our Government does).

Black= Incorrect
African American= Correct

White= Correct
Caucasian American= Incorrect

Red= Incorrect
Native American= Correct

Yellow= Incorrect
Asian American/Asian= Correct

To be fair, Native American is a righter word (in more than just political sense) than "Indian". Indians live in India.

We get to use antiquated terms? Yay, screw off you bloody Saxons!

*sigh * the forums have succumb to this
