I've always heard that americans of european ancestry are mutts at this point, of no predominant ancestry beyond europe as a whole. But is this really true? My own family tree on both sides is about 90% British or Irish, it's a little harder to break down the exact ratio of irish/scottish/english/welsh etc. because of how far back they came over although I figure it's about 60-70% English. All of my ancestors were living in the United States by the time Civil War broke out, and of those more than 90% were in Virginia by 1780, and they just stayed there. The remaining 10% is german and dutch, there might also be some others way back. Would you consider that a mutt mix? How common is it? I haven't found a good study on this so far.
