Oczywiscie nie jestem Niemcem ale wkleilem aby pokazac, ze Polacy nie
stanowia w USA znaczacej mniejszosci ( jedynie 9 milionow z czego jakies 2
miliony to Zydzi, a zatem etniczni Polacy to jakies 7 milionow w USA )




We Are 43 Million Strong



German ancestry is claimed by more Americans than any other national
heritage. According to the 2000 United States government census, 42.8 million
Americans--about 15 percent of the population--consider German to be their
primary ancestry.



German is the top ancestry group in 23 states. States with the highest
populations of German Americans include California with 3.3 million and
Pennsylvania with 3.1 million. As a percentage of the population, the Midwest
comes out on top at 27 percent. In fact, German was reported by more that 40
percent of the population in North Dakota, Wisconsin and South Dakota.



Although the number is down from 1990 (23 percent), German Americans still
make up the largest ancestry group in the United States. This reflects a
general trend overall for European ethnic origins. In 1990, German, Irish and
English were the three largest ancestries. Each decreased by more than 20
percent in 2000 while people claiming African American descent grew by nearly
1.2 million, making this group the third largest ancestry.



And, there are almost 1.4 million German speakers in the United States. It is
the fourth largest language group following Spanish, Chinese, and French. The
census data are based on responses to the question, "Does this person speak a
language other than English at home?" Accordingly, nearly 142,000
Californians claim to speak German. New York and Florida follow with 93,000
and 90,000 respectively.

      ...czyli:

      British American or American?
      Many British Americans have ancestry in America that dates back to colonial
      times in the 17th and 18th centuries. With their roots being in America for
      such a long period, many British Americans have begun to think of themselves
      ancestrally simply as "Americans". Worldwide that line of thinking is often
      found. For instance, today's southern Italians don't consider themselves Greeks
      or partially Greek because their ancestors came from Greece, and today's
      English don't consider themselves to be Germans because their ancestors were
      Anglo-Saxons from continental Europe. But in American society, hyphenated-
      Americanism prevails because so much of the population has relatively recent
      roots elsewhere.

      Many other Americans have forgotten the origins of their distant ancestors, or
      prefer to identify with the ethnicity of ancestors who arrived more recently,
      which provide more distinctive folkways than the general American culture.

      Many Americans with a Scottish or Welsh background identify with
      those "nations" and not with Britain as a whole and so do not refer to
      themselves as British.


      Number of British Americans
      In the 2000 Census, 57.6 million Americans reported British ancestry. These
      include:

      24.5 million English
      20.6 million American (the overwhelming majority of those who
      answered "American" as their ancestry are of British ancestry)
      4.9 million Scottish
      4.3 million Scotch-Irish (Ulster)
      1.7 million Welsh
      1 million British (answered "British" as ancestry on the Census)
      600,000 Canadian (the overwhelming majority of those who answered "Canadian" as
      their ancestry are of British ancestry)

        These figures make British Americans the largest ethnic group in the U.S. when
        counted collectively (although the Census Bureau does not count them
        collectively, as each of the above is a separate ethnic group i.e. English or
        Scottish). The Germans and Irish are the largest self-reported ethnic groups in
        the nation but British ancestry is considered the most common by experts.

      Irish American
      Irish Americans are residents or citizens of the United States who claim Irish
      ancestry. The term may be used in subtle distinction with Scotch-Irish, in
      order to distance that group from Irish connotations, but many Scotch-Irish
      also consider themselves Irish American. Including the Scotch-Irish, Irish
      Americans currently make up roughly 15% of all Americans.

      Many Irish settlers moved to America during the Industrial Revolution in the
      18th and 19th centuries, and particularly during the Irish potato famine which
      forced large numbers of poor Irish to leave their land. Their descendants
      retain a very strong sense of their Irish heritage.

      Irish Americans are found throughout the United States, although they are
      generally associated with the metropolitan areas of New York, Boston, Chicago,
      and San Francisco, where most new arrivals of the 1800s and early 1900s
      settled. As a percentage of the population, the most Irish American town in the
      United States is Milton, Massachusetts, with 43% of its 26,000 or so residents
      being of Irish descent. Regionally, the most Irish-American part of the country
      remains northern and central New England.

      Common stereotypes of Irish-Americans include perceptions of Irish-Americans as
      being more prone to alcoholism and as having shorter tempers than other ethnic
      groups (Witness the idiom: "To get one's Irish up"). Prejudice against Irish-
      Americans was originally once very strong within American culture, reaching a
      peak in the 19th century; many employers would ward off Irish jobseekers by
      posting signs reading "No Irish Need Apply". Other 19th century stereotypes of
      the Irish included views of them as being violent and prone to crime.

      In American popular culture, it is common to fictionally portray police
      officers and firefighters as being Irish-American, stemming from the group's
      disproportionate involvement in the nation's civil-service departments; to the
      present-day, many police and fire departments maintain large and
      active "Emerald Societies", bagpipe marching groups, or other similar units
      demonstrating their members' pride in their Irish heritage. The Irish American
      way of life has also been chronicled in the modern media, most notably in
      movies such as The Brothers McMullen and on television in series such as Ryan's
      Hope.

      Saint Patrick's Day is widely celebrated across the United States as a day of
      celebration of all things Irish and faux-Irish. Parades, parties, and other
      festive events mark the day, and many Americans become voluntarily "Irish for a
      day" to herald the occasion.

      New York City has more people that claim Irish heritage than Dublin, the
      capital of the Republic of Ireland and the largest city on Ireland.
