It's usually Americans who have Scandinavia listed. Everyone knows the percentage of Scandinavian immigrants to the US is extremely low in comparison to the obvious English/Irish/German. What are the odds that half of the members on here have Scandinavian ancestry? I have a feeling these are the type of guys putting that in their profile...

Even though Scandinavian nations have tiny populations, and not many Vikings and Scandinavians emmigrated to and colonised the US compared to other European colonists, but there are actually some people in the North American continent nations of the US and Canada who have Scandinavian ancestry... such as Sebastian Bach.

Here he screams-out at the intro to an audience in Norway that his ancestors were Norse people.

Mister Morgue has a Scandinavian phenotype.

Not all Scandinavians have blond hair and blue eyes though.

Well, that's just two individual people above... one Canadian (Sebastian Bach) and one American (Mister Morgue)... but I don't know what the official percentage rate is though of US and Canadian citizens with Scandinavian ancestry.

Given the amount of British colonists added to the amount of UK expats who move to live in the US, Canada, Australia and NZ each year, I think the majority of white citizens in the US, Canada, Australia and NZ have British and Irish and German ancestry (in the US,) followed by Dutch, French, Italian, etc.
