The largest white ancestry groups in the US are German, Irish and English

What effects has that had on the country?

Irish + German has been a foul concoction. I bet if you did a DNA test of most trailer trump trash, they would be some majority combination of these two.

Irish contributed humor. Can't say the same about the other two.

Germans genes probably contributed the current streak of nazism. Americans calls Japanese sneaky and savage, but Germans are the true wolves in sheep's clothing. People have respect for their inventions but these people also created mustard gas and eugenics. Theyre brutal.

I fit into these three groups, according to my DNA test. What I learned from Ancestry.com: "The Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, and Normans all left their mark on Britain both politically and culturally." Germans also mixed in with the Vikings. And Vikings are from Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Shouldn't you include characteristics from these areas of Europe as well?

To lump your prejudices into one or more political or ethnic group (considering most of emigration of these countries occurred over 100 years ago and decedents have been marrying outside of their country of origin for generations) is a futile attempt and no more than a guessing game.

Twice I have dated men in the US whose families were turn of the century immigrants from Ireland. Both of them had among the biggest cocks I've ever encountered in my many years of field research. There may be an "Irish Curse" and tiny Irish dicks to go with it, but it's not universal.

Quick hit list of our brightest and most original. Good amount of English here, but not too much Irish or German, except for German-Jewish, which some will count and others will not. This is only the tippy top, and not the rank and file that often shapes a nation's character and values. Mid levels are heavy with Irish and Germans, so big contributions from all 3 ethnic groups:

Directors: Scorcese, Coppola, Welles, Kubrick Inventors: Edison, Carver, Ford, Jobs Authors: Faulkner, Melville, Whitman, Hemingway Artists: Basquiat, Pollock, Hopper, Johns Scientists: Oppenheimer, Feynman, Watson, Von Neumann Composers: Cage, Reich, Dylan, Glass

No offense on people like Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov, Bill Gates and Rachel Carlson. They are noteworthy names and made important contributions, but not at the level of the above

I bet nobody in England or Ireland could relate their ancestry past one or two generations.

It's a weird obsession for US citizens. Nobody here would dream of qualifying their ethnic identity by the birthplace of their grandparents.

White and European Americans are the majority of people living in the United States. White people are defined by the United States Census Bureau as those "having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa."[26] Like all official U.S. racial categories, "White" has a "not Hispanic or Latino" and a "Hispanic or Latino" component,[27] the latter consisting mostly of White Mexican Americans and White Cuban Americans.

White Americans are the majority in 49 of the 50 states, with Hawaii as the exception. Non-Hispanic Whites are the majority in 46 states; Hawaii, New Mexico, California, and Texas (and the District of Columbia) are the exceptions.[28] These five jurisdictions have "minority majorities", i.e. minority groups compose the majority of the population.

Although a high proportion of the population is known to have multiple ancestries, in the 2000 census, the first with the option to choose more than one, most people still identified with one racial category. In the 2000 census, self-identified German Americans made up 17.1% of the U.S. population, followed by Irish Americans at 12%, as reported in the 2000 U.S. Census. This makes German and Irish the largest and second-largest self-reported ancestry groups in the United States. Both groups had high rates of immigration to the U.S. beginning in the mid-19th century, triggered by the Great Famine in Ireland and the failed 1848 Revolution in Germany. However, English Americans and British Americans are still considered the largest ethnic group due to a serious under count following the 2000 census whereby many English and British Americans self-identified under the new category entry 'American' considering themselves 'indigenous' because their families had resided in the US for so long or, if of mixed European ancestry, identified with a more recent and differentiated ethnic group.

I think the US has the largest concentration of hot men in the world. Given our size, there is just a near-endless amount. Many countries have hot white men, no question, but the United States wins in quantity. That German, Irish, and English look blended into the "All American" stereotype. I know it's not for everyone, but I think very few people come to the States and can say that we are a country full of ugly people. That goes for every color of citizen that lands here. So thank you Europe for your contribution to hot white men. Thank you, Africa, for people like me. Thank you Latin America and Asia for rounding out this wheel of fun.

In short, we have a massive amount of hot white men and men of every color. Now, we need to work on that circumcision tradition.
