Yes ^’

They were defending their rights as Englishmen. That's why they rebelled.

2018-11-11 03:41:39 UTC  

If your ancestors were here before 1900 it's going to be pretty difficult for you to not find a single Englishman in your lineage.

2018-11-11 03:41:53 UTC  

@Jacob yes

2018-11-11 03:42:05 UTC  

Half of American population is still descended from people around during the Revolution

2018-11-11 03:42:57 UTC  

Identifying as "English" is uncommon on a census because it's 1) "not interesting" and 2) many of the English in this country have been here for hundreds of years. It's so distant as to be almost meaningless- for the point of contrasting.

2018-11-11 03:43:00 UTC  

Okay guys listen closely

As a child of immigrants, I give you permission to be as anti-immigration as you want.

Also, I was an anchor baby, and I'm giving you permission to say "anchor baby"

It's like those n-cards that your black friends give you

The unique pull of adventure to the new world and the lack of welfare drew a certain kind of European here!

2018-11-11 03:43:49 UTC  

Keep in mind this is a country of *settlers* not immigrants

Faustian spirit

2018-11-11 03:44:01 UTC  

Good example, my father is completely gung-ho about Irish stuff despite being only 1/4 Irish.

2018-11-11 03:44:05 UTC  

Settlers build something new. Immigrants just take advantage of stuff other people already made.

2018-11-11 03:44:05 UTC  

@VinceChaos European roots, American greatness!

2018-11-11 03:44:06 UTC  

My roommate with a mother who has an English accent didn’t consider English to be an ethnicity <:sad:366743316475281408>

2018-11-11 03:44:09 UTC  

It upsets my mom a bit that I identify as Anglo-American and don't snowflake about the recent Swedish component

2018-11-11 03:44:13 UTC  

Yes. I hate the term “Native American.” I’m the Native. My ancestors created America.

2018-11-11 03:44:36 UTC  

Amerindian is the correct term

2018-11-11 03:44:37 UTC  

Englishness is still normative Americanness to the point whites with anything else pick that out

2018-11-11 03:44:41 UTC  

Cause it's special

2018-11-11 03:44:48 UTC  

@Sam Southern - TN I should use that more

2018-11-11 03:44:57 UTC  

Amerindian is good

2018-11-11 03:45:21 UTC  

@Alexander Pechorintheres even more to it than that with evidence the people of European descent were the first to put feet on these lands.

2018-11-11 03:45:42 UTC  

If ancestors founding a nation 400 years ago doesn't qualify me as a native nothing does lol

2018-11-11 03:45:49 UTC  

Kinda like how Elizabeth Warren identifies with her 1/1024th Cherokee

2018-11-11 03:45:50 UTC  

This should be enough reason to be cautious of all immigration

@ThisIsChris I make a point to use it as often as possible to remind people of the difference

2018-11-11 03:45:57 UTC  

study that chart closely

2018-11-11 03:46:06 UTC  

Ok so we should only let in the Swiss

2018-11-11 03:46:20 UTC  

@ExternalPepsi @Alexander Pechorin no calling them "savages", an epithet rule 12

2018-11-11 03:46:33 UTC  

@Josh M. -OH True. Some interesting information there. Regardless, existing on a piece of land and acting like a savage in no way means you’re a native of the country other people created

Real anti slav hours

2018-11-11 03:46:51 UTC  

They're not sending their best, folks. (except me, I'm the one exception)

2018-11-11 03:47:08 UTC  

(Pls no bully, am not serious)

2018-11-11 03:47:11 UTC  

Amerigo Vespucci and Christopher Columbus were not English. 😏 but they were white Europeans. It was i the divine plan that this continent would be discovered and settled by white Europeans ! This was the promised land

2018-11-11 03:47:30 UTC  

@Jacob Half Slavic my grandparents were from Plock, Poland

2018-11-11 03:47:31 UTC  

Chris Columbus never even got to North America lol

2018-11-11 03:47:39 UTC  

He hung around the Caribbean
