Zone1 Why do White People Call Themselves Irish-Americans, Italian Americans, Polish-Americans, etc?

[woodwork201]

But it is racial and it's time white who are the original people who made everything in America about race, stopped complaining when other bring up issues resulting from whites making everything about race.

It's rich, privileged, Democrat and socialist whites who make everything about race. I generally don't have time for it, not even on here. I'm too busy being an American and living my life to spend time making things about race.

neither. that doesn't mean that Ethnic German wasn't part of my upbringing. We celebrated German customs and ate German food growing up.

You see, that's why I win. Ethnicity is not in your blood or DNA. And when someone sends their spit to some government funded company to analyze (record) your DNA and then abandons generations of ethnicity because some computer told them they were something they were not, what a slap that is to your ancestors. Your ethnicity is where and how you were raised, it is not in your DNA. Because America is a melting pot, being American does have traces of German in it, but it is, and you are, American, not German. You were raised as an American. If you want to be German, then head home.

How many white people in America are from these countries? Because any more, it seems like most of them are born here.

Then we have places like this.

The Irish American Heritage Museum is a 501(c)3 nonprofit created by the New York State Legislature in 1986 and permanently chartered by the Board of Regents of New York as an educational institution in 1992. We explore the contributions, history, and culture of Irish people in America, and fosters dialogue and exchange between America and Ireland today. By sharing our stories, we strive to create connections and community between all Americans, as we appreciate and study the universality of the immigrant story in American history.

SCANDINAVIAN–AMERICAN HALL OF FAME​

The Scandinavian-American Hall of Fame is an enduring means of honoring those persons of Scandinavian descent in North America who have achieved greatness in their fields of endeavor and/or whose efforts have contributed significantly to the betterment of mankind. Deserving individuals of other ethnicities may be honored with special awards as well.

Through honoring these outstanding individuals, it is hoped that others will be inspired to strive for meaningful accomplishments as well.

The Scandinavian-American Hall of Fame was established in Minot, N.D., in 1984 as a permanent component of Norsk Høsfest. Because Minot hosts North America’s largest Scandinavian festival, which strives to build pride in heritage; and because North Dakota is located in the center of the continent’s Scandinavian population, it is appropriate that Minot, N.D., be the permanent home of the Scandinavian-American Hall of Fame.

I can keep going.

When it comes to race, we define ourselves as white/caucasian, not our country heritage.

When it comes to race, we define ourselves as white/caucasian, not our country heritage.

I consider my race white, my nationality American, my ethnicity Ashkenazi Jewish, and my religion Judaism.
