    It depends on where you go. Along the east coast, Irish ancestry (in the northeast) and English, Scottish (in the south) are more prevalent, while in the Midwest, German ancestry is dominant in most places.

    I mean phenotype wise, remember most ancestry is self reported, which means a nut to reliability of what the real ancestry is.

    If you see a random crowd of White americans from all over the country, would you think of them being physically wise closer to Brits/Irish or the Germans.

    But there are also quite a few White Americans, such as John Kerry, who have a unique phenotype to the US itself.

    Would you say specifically Ulster Scots mainly? I dont think Welsh ancestry is that big, maybe im wrong.

    What about George W Bush? another example of what someone would consider as "American looking" and not from anywhere else? Would he pass easier for Brit/Irish or German? I think he has some Irish looks, but not completly, you still can tell he is a white american.
