Sounds boring

<a:peepopoopo:585808435719831552>

my family has mostly been in america for a long time as well

most people dont remember what Europeans of old american stock look like

so they think old american stock today

must be 'from somewhere else' rofl

its not something to necessarily blame someones ethnographic ignorance for

but its more or less funny

yeah I have no native american

which i found interesting as well

as far as I know, I don't have any either

yeah many people think

if your American you have to have a little bit of native american

Neither do I

nope

it all depends on where your ancestors came from and how they traveled

doesnt even matter how far back they came

What do you mean?

if one of your italian relatives lets say

from only seventy or so years ago came to a big city

he was far more likely to intermingle with other ethnicities densely packed

as opposed to if one of your 16th century relatives

came to some small agrarian village in the south

just off the frontier

I suppose

@AngloAmericanGod True.

people who lived in the back country

were far morel ikely to already have arranged marriages in line

yeah my mom has some irish in her because she has green eyes

Would you say southerners are the most mixed united states citizens

nah

i'd say the south

was the most anglo saxon

You don’t have to be Irish to have green eyes

now thats changing

They had black, mexicans and natives down there, especially in the midwest.

the north seemed and still seems more diverse

well that's where her green eyes come from at least
