Are U.S. Americans mutts?

[Dick]

Yes that is true but the French did a terrible job of controlling their land. They quickly became the minority once the Purchase was bought and either fled back to Louisiana/Nova Scotia or assimilated. I think the main reason why Louisiana stayed majority French was because nobody wanted to make use of the swamp lands haha.

A lot of frogs in dem swamps that's why, cuisses de grenouilles

in 1713
in red the british/great britain/UK empire
in blue the french
in orange the spanish
it's mean than almost an half of the americano-europeans citizens of the USA are more or less of french origin mixed with the WASP,certainly more than the dutch,german,scandinavian stock etc...
and you couldn't avoid this

French possessions in the Americas (1534-1803)

I'm sorry, but that is just wrong. There were few if any ethnic french inhabiting those areas, especially when they belonged to France, and actual, recent ancestry is what this is about. Almost all of the population outside Louisiana was British Isles or slaves, which doesn't matter for this thread anyway because there has been so much immigration since then outside of old, economically relaxed non-urban areas.

Depends, if you're a mixed-race person you're most definitely a mutt. If you're mixed ethnicity like French-German or me then no, hardly so. There has been inner-European migration since forever. There are lots of Austrians who are much swarthier than I, it is impossible that they are "purely Germanic". I live my life as an Austrian woman, so far nobody has said anything yet. However, the orientation point is the European map, not non-Europeans like Morocco etc.

This is what I mean by "mutt" I guess, I suppose i should clarify "euromutt" as in people of mixed but no predominant european ancestry, as seems to be the common belief regarding post-colonial america. What I'm wondering is if DNA ancestry tests line up with this.

I'll go with my great grandparents...

Louis Robinson: Lithuanian Ashkenazi Jew with some Ukrainian (born in Butrimonys, Lithuania)
Mary Jane Elizabeth Allard: Mostly French-Canadian with some Danish, Irish and First Nations ancestry. (Born in New York, US of A)
George Louis Burke: Irish with some Welsh and English (Born in Massachusetts, US of A)
Mary Brady: Irish with some German (Born in Massachusetts, US of A)
Michele D'Orazio: Italian (Born in Molise, Italy)
Lucia Naomi La Fratta: Italian with come Croatian (Born in Molise, Italy)
Domenico Mastroianni: Italian with some Spanish and Malian (Born in Campania, Italy)
Giovannini Ricciardi: Italian with some Greek and Cypriot (Born in Campania, Italy)

I'd call me a mutt.

On the other hand, my wife...
Her paternal grandfather was born in Levidi, Peloponnesos, Greece.
Her maternal grandmother was born in Assini, Peloponnesos, Greece
Her father was born in Massachusetts, US of A.
Both of her maternal grandparents were born in the Greek community in Odessa, Ukraine.
Her mother was born in Athens, Attiki, Greece

Until 1900 most Yanks were a racial "mix" of north and central Euros, mixing milk with milk, nothing mutt about about that, but culture mutts yes. The census since WW2 has gradually shown a diminution of the 1900 modal, since the war made people of all races interact much more than ever.

They are no more mutts then hungarians on TA, or the germans who post here.

Btw. if you want to avoid getting unnoticed mestizosised and mulattosised, you should keep distance to Americans. A lot of white Americans do have small such contributions that you do not see with your eye anymore, so you easily get misled. Of course you can counter-evidence this by respective 23andMe results. But the general assumption should be, as stated. And forget all that naive trust in looks.

Your wish for equalizing is understandable. Because if they are considered mutts what might then you be?
But all this doesn't make your statement applicable.

With mutt is meant having ancestry from more than one nation in Europe not mixed race so I don't take myself into account because I have ancestries from diverse world regions then it is called mongrel not mutt

Agreed, but also if you refer to ethnicities only, Americans have more diverse ancestries than do Hungarians. I guess you will have to weight the proportions and not just refer to that a Hungarian, as most people, may have diverse ancestries per se. As for different ethnicities among ancestors Americans in average are for sure the bigger mutts than are Hungarians.
