The census doesn't reflect the reality.
There's more english ancestry in white americans than irish or german.
People who report "american" are mostly of english ancestry, but they've been in usa for long so they don't care for the english.
Also people who report german,irish, italian, polish, french ancestry are most of the time mixed with americans of english ancestry.
Reporting "American" ancestry is common in southern states. These people are colonial stock protestants of mostly english ancestry, but they just see themselves american so they report "american"
