Does every white american needs to be passed in a single European country?

[Grace O'Malley]

All white Americans pass somewhere in Europe.

They won't all look like carbon copies of Europeans, since they are more more mixed with diferent Euro ethnicities when compared to Europeans in Europe, but this mix still belong to the "same race", and most white Americans are of NW Euro, who are genetically/phenotypically very similar among themselves.

The term "mutt" is also used to some arrogant Euros in order to inferiorize Americans, implying that being "pure anything" makes someone superior to the other that is mixed, even if these mixed belong to genetically similar ethnicities.

I don't see it as that at all. Pure just means being of one ethnicity and mutt is someone that has multiple ancestries. I think Americans are proud of their varied ancestry. I don't think being of one ethnicity is better nor worse. It will depend on the individual themselves as some people would love to find something a bit different or unusual in their ancestry. Whatever you are it's pointless wishing to be something different.

no

That's interesting, considering that, despite being more Central Euro/continental Germanic shifted than Australia (which is more homogenously British Islander), for example, white Americans are still more British than anything, so I would expect that they resembled more the Britons than Central Europeans.

By the way, recently I discovered that the German fat kid from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)" is actually German in real life, and I think his looks is very typical in the USA:


I think he could easily fit as an Old Stock American, of English/Scots-Irish ancestry from, let's say, Kentucky, not just as German-American, even if many of these are more Anglo than German.

Very common look. I can tell often tell when someone is an European immigrant or exchange student. More by their demeanor, but they can have am unusual look. I hate to burst a lot of Europeans bubbles, but it's usually in an unattractive way. Asymmetry in the face and awkward posture.

Agree with you, it's just a question of ancestry, which is neutral, neither positive or negative. But some people on these forums use the term "mutt" as an insult, but you know, people always need to find something to inferiorize others.

But if he was American, would you picture him with German or British surnames, or both?

And I commited a mistake on that post of mine you quoted. I meant "by Europeans" (meaning that some Europeans on forums think being of only one ethnicity makes them superior to us "mutts"), not "to Europeans". I hate when I only notice my grammar/semantic mistakes when it's already too late.

Disagree all you want. I can only tell you what I've seen for myself after spending considerable time in both places. It doesn't seem to make sense on paper, but that's how it is.

I disagree. These countires have heavy Slavic influence white Americans lack, and on top of that white Americans have heavy British Isles phenotypical input.
But I guess it depends on part of US. Midwest could fit such description I guess.

NYC whites look very alien for European eyes.

I'm no expert, but if I had to guess I'd say it's because the average white American by this point in history is an amalgamation of mostly western/northern/central/southern European backgrounds, and central Europe is the natural convergence point.

And why not in the British Isles if the most common ancestry is English and British?

As a Stiffler or schmidt

[Borealis]

Not sure about America as a whole but my area is heavily Slavic admixed so central Europe is probably the closest comparison. Slavic migration also never ended here the way British and Germanic migration did.

[Anglo-Celtic]

Wooo, he is German? It looks like a British islander.
I thought German Americans looked more Tom Brady style

Tom Brady is of Irish, Polish, English, and other descent. He has a bit of German, but it's like a spoonful of kraut on a platter of spuds.
