not really no, obviously there is admixture with bordering countries around, well borders. But most of the time the people are whatever nation they are from. As i said, i think that enough of a culture, history, and ethnic mixing along several european ethnicities has been accumulated to be able to identify a specifically american ethnicity.

I think you should take a DNA test lol. A lot of brother wars have produced alot of rape babies over the last 2000 years. I'm making a joke of course but my point stands. There are certainly many instances where a typical American is more German than a "German" (see TommyKay lol) or Frenchman, etc etc.

well of course, but i'm talking about both background and being divorced from the culture, and part of what i see as the process of ethnogenesis. As i said, if you are fresh off the boat you're still whatever european is in your background. But if you've a) been here a while enough to assimilate for generations and especially b) ethnically blended in the sense of multiple european ethnicities, you can't really identify with said european peoples beyond semi-distant ancestry. You're just american. And that's not a bad thing to be.
