You're forgetting all the Italians, Germans, Polish, and Hungarian especially in NJ and the tri-state area.
Sorry, I was listing early settlers to areas that predominated. It doesn't mean that others were not contributing.
My neighborhood was originally settled by Dutch, but became well known for its Italian and Jewish population. It is currently predominately Chinese. The Chinese have not brought up removing any Italian, Jewish and Dutch monuments yet.
All of my ancestors have the same ethnic identity that I do, "Homo Sapiens". There is no other human race. In terms of national origins: Great Britain, Scotland, Ireland and Germany, but that only goes back a couple of handfuls of generations. Who knows where their ancestors came from. Humans have been extraordinarily mobile since they left Africa.

This is so true, some people in the US seem to think that the US is the only country in the world that has a population of mixed ethnic heritage. British people in some people's eyes are all 'Anglo Saxons'. The reality is of course somewhat different, Europeans (originally) were always invading and settling each others countries and In the case of Western Europes old colonial powers people have settled from further afield for quite a time now. A very long time ago people from Iberia settled in Britain, then the Celts then Romans, tribes from modern Germany (yes including the Angles and the Saxons), the Vikings, the Normans (who caused genocide in the whole of northern England (see 'The cleansing of the north)) etc, etc, I'm sure I've missed many, in the last few hundred years there have been large immigrations from Italy, China, the Jews, India (other parts of Asia), Jamaica and the West Indies (of course),Nigeria and most recently of all Eastern Europe. If you are American then just having British heritage already makes you a 'mongrel', I reckon most of Europe has had the same flow of settlers too.
American people mostly share the same culture, language, mentality and values. This makes "American" an ethnicity in my opinion. So, what kind of ethnicity American is? Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, Mediterranean, etc?
germans are the largest non hyphenated american ethnic group
they were so scared post ww1 that they completely forgot their language and culture
America is a distinct culture. Is that the same as an ethnicity? I don't know, you tell me. Does it really matter?
Yeah, OP, you may not have noticed, but America is a mix of ethnicities. And NO, Anglo-Germans do not think the same as Slavs or Italians or Hispanics, not to mention: Native Americans, African-Americans, and East Asians, West Asians, Central Asians, Tibetans, Mongols.
Not sure where you got the idea, that everyone thinks alike. You should get to know diverse people. REALLY get to know them.

I think "American ethnicity" would be its own thing as we are nothing like the Germanic, Celtic, Slavs & Mediterraneans today. i think we will look more like people on our own hemisphere (Brazil, Mexico) considering we are all mix indigenous blood and european blood.

Irish, English, Germanic, Italian, maybe some French maybe some mix of whoever was living in Britain at the time. Everyone primarily from Christopher Columbus's boat....

Homo sapien is a species, not a race, and not an ethnic identity (both of which are different things from each other too).
