  • White People

    got your attention?

    i've always seen statistics saying that the largest ethnic groups in america is german, anglo-saxon, and irish.

    but the weird thing is, the first two are very rare from my experiences. almost every white person i know (mainly from school and what not) is either irish, italian, or jewish (though i never met a jewish person until high school so they're not too common) with an occasional greek or russian/ukrainian.

    so what gives? where's all the anglos and germans at?

            It appears that Anglo-Germans have fled Philly.

                Can you blame 'em?

                  i know that irish, italians, jews, and eastern europeans immigrated to the cities in huge numbers back at the turn of the century but it's been a hundred years, so i would think that a good number of them would have done their little white flight and the number of 'swarthy' peoples would be the same as anglo-germans.

                    The largest ethnic group in America, by a long way, is 'Mongrel'

                    How many pure German,Irish or even Afro Americans are there? Or do they just pick the most fashionable?

                      Sorry -- didn't mean to joke about you being racist.

                      I was just jesting that you seemed to have an interest in this fantastical notion of race as much as Caligastia does -- not necessarily that you're racist.

                        How pure are "Germans" in Germany anyway?

                          i've met fewer j's than c's and k's, but everybody still assumes that i'm either a c or a j and ask whether i come from the south or the north once they find out i'm a k.

                          these, once you're in america, your skin color means a lot more than the differentiation between peoples of the same skin color: whites tend to be treated the same, whether they're irish, italian, polish (soooooo many poles in chicago), greek, german, french, or ex-britishers. blacks tend to be treated the same, whether they're recent arrivals from nigeria or blacks who were dragged here centuries ago.

                          asians haven't figured that the internal differences don't matter here anymore, which is why there's no strong or cohesive political action group.

                          so on the whole, this distinction between brits and frogs and germs and what not seems kinda pointless to me, since they're all invariably higher up on the foodchain.
