a lot depends upon which culture and traditions in which they were raised. Many people are only 1/4 Irish (1/4 German, 1/2 colonial American...) but they will celebrate that part of their background the most because they were raised... Catholic, St. Patrick's Day, Fighting Irish football, Faith and Begorah, traditions, family stories of ancestors coming to America with nothing in their pockets seeking a better life.... usually these traditions et al. hold true for the people with poor immigrant backgrounds because they are proud of the sacrifices their ancestors made, and what they accomplished once getting here...

I would say in the Northeastern U.S. it's still quite common to be 100% one ethnicity in some regions. This is particularly true in the old mill towns that managed to attract large numbers of immigrants from a particular country/region and then experienced an economic decline beginning in the 1930s and just remained stagnant. I know of one guy who was born in 1985 and every single one of his great-grandparents came from Sicily during the early twentieth-century. He lives in a small predominantly Italian area of Connecticut and he married a girl that is 100% of Italian ancestry as well. In towns like Naugatuck, Connecticut which is overwhelmingly Portuguese I know of 100% Portuguese Americans marrying one another as well, despite their family having lived in the U.S. since the 1960s. In Fall River, New Bedford and Taunton Mass this is also quite common. I would imagine the same thing would occur in the rural counties of the Upper Midwest that were nearly 100% Norwegian or German when first settled. The people who leave are probably more likely to marry out, but with few newcomers these areas are more likely to remain ethnically homogenous.

Yes she is. If a predominantly alpine-east baltid person (although in the last picture she could also be subnordid) marries a predominantly gracile med ("westisch" according to Günther) that is race-mixing.
Countries do not accurately represent race-I've said it lots of times before and I will say it again: Race knows no borders.
It'd be ridiculous to believe that a 6 feet tall blonde goddess marrying a swarthy, short, jewish-looking guy who is fat and 5 feet tall is not "race-mixing" because they both live in the same country.
Just trust your instincts. If it doesn't seem right, it probably isn't.

If Americans are mutts then so are Europeans. Modern Germans are a mix of Saxons, Prussians, Swabians and Barvarians. Otto Von Bismarck allegedly remarked that Barvarians are the missing link between Austrians and humans. The French are a mix of Normans, Bretons , Gascons and Provencals.

Not true, historic national borders have largely defined the genetic sub-races of Europe, and consequently phenotypes, to a lesser extent.
The European phenotypes are not races, it's absurd that you could think people who are genetically the same and from the exact same stock are a different race.
Spoiler!
