Most White Americans today are not descended from the original Anglo settlers?

[Reah]

My mother's side was the original Colonial Settlers. Mostly all Anglo. She married a mutt.

It must have been a terrible experience to be a WASP from colonial settler/pilgrim backgrounds and witness all the accelerated migration to America in the late 19th century...

How much British&Irish are you on 23andme or AncestryDNA Richmondbread?

Probably only a minority of Americans are descendents of original settlers.

Well according to 23andme 37%. However, I have books written on my mother's side with the original settlers in Virginia and The Carolinas. Many noteables and it's easy to trace.

I was just wondering about this, because it seems like a bulk of Americans can't trace their ancestry pre 1900 or 1880 at best. There was a mass immigration from Irish, Italians, and later Slavics to the US in those years in the late 19th and early 20th century. Those of the original Colonial Anglo stock seem to be less percentage of the White European American population. The majority of Germans settled in the Midwest and most White Americans identify as Germans. There were some German settlers in the Colonial period (even I have some ) but most came over much later. So does this mean that Anglo identity is lost for Americans?

You are a stubborn fuck aren't you?! Half the forum members have shown you proof and told you that British ancestry is much larger, but you still continue with the same bs!

1920 US Census ethnic figures used in the 1924 National Origins Act for ethnic quotas on immigration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Act_of_1924

Those figures above are an estimate of the national origins of the white population of the US done in the 1920s by the US Census and Department of Commerce. Here is one of the original sources from wikipedia.https://web.archive.org/web/20210326...ed/1930-04.pdf
Of course the numbers are not wholly ethnic. Some countries like Poland and Russia sent a lot of Jews and Ireland would be a bit higher, if Northern Ireland was added from the UK and then of course Great Britain would be a little bit lower. Still it's clear Britain was no1 source of ancestry for white Americans and still is. Most of it was colonial and you have to add some of the German and Dutch and a little French to the colonial stock as well.

[TheForeigner]

The last link I posted actually shows that the table showing the national origins of the white population of the US also includes over 5 million more people from non-quota countries, which are apparently people from the Americas, including Canada, Newfoundland(then a British dominion), Mexico etc. I guess a large part were not really white, but mainly mestizos, while some were French Canadians and English speaking Canadians, so both the British and French proportions would be a little larger.

So does this mean that Anglo identity is lost for Americans?

For most of them, yes (even though you continue to ignore what Foreigner has posted about Colonial ancestry being around half of White American ancestry, and British/English being by far the largest component). English was already a minority ancestry in the US by the late 19th century, and the US as a national culture hasn't been very 'Anglo' since the early 20th century at least. And now the majority of Americans with mostly English ancestry don't even identify it, they just identify as American or something else. That's why it's bemusing when non-English speakers call the US Anglo-Saxon or Anglo by default to this day.

But the true traditional American culture is and was very much 'Anglo', and it was a truly great culture, that produced a lot. That's the America I still have a lot of sympathy for and want to defend, despite the monstrosity that the US has become over the last century/half century.

[Creoda]

Even the widespread use of the gramatically retarded term 'Anglo' denotes a loss of English identity. That is a recent thing.

Most white American DNA tests have British as the majority ancestral component and then chunks of other regions (German, French etc).

I think not all have a colonial ancestor. Do you have a colonial ancestor? I think you dont. And there are many albanians, greeks,and such like you.

LOL.
