NC has a Scotland County (literally in the worst part of the state) it’s English though(?)

Monroe County, NY. Definitely Italian. I’m German, but regularly use “Mingia” in my daily vernacular.

Surprised Windham’s French
I knew they have the highest proportion of Quebecois ancestry in CT but I wasn’t expecting it to be the plurality (at least according to this)

Expected way more red. Interesting.

sigh. i have lived in brown, blue and yellow counties but used to live in a grey (polish) county.
no matter where i move to, it looks like chances are slim i will find polish sausage as good as that found in the grey county i grew up in.

Geography majors, help a brother out, where is the Czech spot in the US?

A fun factoid, but that area of Ohio being Italian is because during the heyday of organized crime, it’s the halfway point between New York and Chicago.

I’m suprised there is not a county of Czech in Oklahoma.

Alaska’s not exactly surprising when you consider most of our international tourists are japanese or german by my understanding
Really wild to have someone walk up and ask in fluent german how the local mayoral race is going XD

Well this certainly has to include Hispanic whites too, considering Spanish and Portuguese is on there.

I like that the Norwegians, Swedish, and Finnish each established their own little countries in the Northern US, in the same geographical layout as their home countries.

Scotch-Irish? My line is full of Scotts on both sides. I had my doubts until DNA testing by multiple family members in both lines proved it out.

I had grown up with so many people with Italian ancestry in NYC/Westchester/Long Island/Jersey. It was only when I moved away that I realized, “holy shit, that was just a tri-state area thing, I guess”. At least THAT prevalence.

I would have thought more Czech along with the German in TX
Dutch looks like Grand Rapids Michigan and Pella Iowa?

Interesting, I’m assuming this is the largest single group? I live in western WA which is heavily Scandinavian. Be curious to see this by regional ancestry.

Funny enough, I don’t think I’ve ever met a white guy that was strictly or of partial English descent despite the map telling me how widespread it is

doesn’t seem very accurate
Shout-out to the Danes in Utah.
I’ll call them European Americans until I’m dead
Oh look, this gets reposted again
And again I’d remind people that this is self-reported data
Most common ancestry* right?
This map looked completely different [when you posted it 8 months ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1ebhqa8/most_common_selfreported_ethnicity_of_white/) – what changed?
