What european group has more people worldwide?

[Blondie]

No, they're not. Only 18 million Americans reported German as their single ancestry in 1980, and 26% of the US population (c.85% white at that time) reported as having German ancestry.

https://www.census.gov/population/ce...1-10/tab02.pdf

Even accounting for all the self-reported part Germans that you are considering as German, it only adds up to about 65-70 million in all of the Americas.

1980? lol We're in 2019 Source from 2017:

https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/...xhtml?src=bkmk

Circa 50 million german live in USA and Canada, fact: majority of white americans are germans, deal with it

But okay not 100 million but 70 million, so there is rougly 170 million german in the world. Other ethnicities:

Italians are 135 million:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italians

Russians are 129 million:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russians

Anglos are 80-100 million:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_people

French are 95 million:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_people

So fact: germans are the most numerous european ethnic group in the world. 2. is italians, 3. russians.

I have no idea..

The Irish have a lot of diaspora, (ranging from the UK, Iceland, Australia, Jamaica, the US, etc.)

I think the British and Irish combined together... the combined Anglo-Celtic settlers in the US, Canada, Australia, etc.

Sooo German

[Creoda]

1980? lol We're in 2019 Source from 2017:

https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/...xhtml?src=bkmk

Circa 50 million german live in USA and Canada, fact: majority of white americans are germans, deal with it

But okay not 100 million but 70 million, so there is rougly 170 million german in the world. Other ethnicities:

Italians are 135 million:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italians

Russians are 129 million:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russians

Anglos are 80-100 million:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_people

French are 95 million:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_people

So fact: germans are the most numerous european ethnic group in the world. 2. is italians, 3. russians.

Also, even if there were literally 50 million Germans in the US as you suggest, that's still less than 1/4 of the White American population (223m). Do they teach basic maths or logic in Hungarian high schools?

So their population almost tripled in 40 years? Damn, they indeed breed like rats, if we consider only pure Germans, as those are the only ones we should consider as German American in the first place. Point is, having some German ancestry doesn't make you German per se. Similarly, mestizos aren't Spanish and shouldn't count as such.

Sooo German

Surenames means nothing Many american germans adopted anglo-saxon names, the whole country is based on anglo-saxon culture.

Also, even if there were literally 50 million Germans in the US as you suggest, that's still less than 1/4 of the White American population

And? Other white ethnicities are much less than germans in the US.

[Blondie]

So their population almost tripled in 40 years? Damn, they indeed breed like rats, if we consider only pure Germans, as those are the only ones we should consider as German American in the first place. Point is, having some German ancestry doesn't make you German per se. Similarly, mestizos aren't Spanish and shouldn't count as such.

By your logic you're not slavic, neither basque, right rat?

[billErobreren]

There's nothing like waking up and seeing foreigners trying to say what Americans have or don't have.

Most of those zones which german majority population are depopulated, one district in New York or Los Angeles has more population that both Dakotas, Wyoming or Montana.

Say, aren't you that genius that tried to spicsplain the US census to me? Hi again! Look up the ethnic makeup of those places they're far from WASPy.

Here are the top 200 surnames amongst whites in the US.

Sooo German

Hate to break it to you, but it's not that hard to warp your name from Schmidt to Smith or from Muller to Miller, Braun to Brown or Weiss to White. It happened way too often and many of those are just ocupational surnames, with cognates in German. Especially when the host country has a very open animosity towards you due to the large arrivals and will fight two World Wars in the coming century against the country that spawned you. America becoming a German speaking nation was a HUGE fear people here genuinely had.
Many of the people that bare those British names are black. Most Welsh names in the states like James, Davis, Jenkins, Owens and Jones often belong to them, for instance. If you want to claim them as kin, have at it, they're often mixed with British. Just letting you know.

[Aldaris]

By your logic you're not slavic, neither basque, right rat?

Germans are the only rats, but that is beside the point. I am both, when it comes to my personal identity, but an official report like this is whole another matter - I wouldn't be ok with ticking off any single category.
