Mexico Invading USA!!!

[HapSmo19]

Double Edit: And what the f*ck is "American" anyway?
This map is fucking off like you wouldn't believe.

Also I find it funny that people always get their panties in a bunch when they see "American" listed as an ethnicity but no one questions the fact that "Mexican" isn't listed as "Spanish"

THAT MY FRIEND IS A DOUBLE STANDARD.

No, idiot. To be "Spanish" means you were born in Spain. "Mexicans" are born in Mexico etc....

This map is stupid.

That's exactly my point!!! by that exact logic to be born in America makes you an American.

Mexican is a Nationality not an ethnicity, these are 2 different concepts.

This is why America was reluctant to join WW2

I'd have bet my left nut you'd get some sort of shot in POP....lol

that's not a worthwhile bet. from now one - you should be betting all your left fingers for meaningful bets.

[thegreekdog]

No Greeks... we're not even listed in "other." This map is therefore invalid.

[nietzsche]

Those Greek and their man-loving costumes.

If that WAS the case, the map would be significantly different ANYWAY.
It is horribly off. Period.

My question still remains, though. What the f*ck is "American"?
If you think of it as generations that have been here for a long time, why the f*ck are they only in the southern states?

Edit: I LOVE how it shows Puerto Rico with only Puerto Ricans. Seriously, what's the point of that?

It just the blanket term they use to describe degenerate disgusting hill-folk who are either too lazy to investigate their own genealogy or are to damn inbred for their ethnicity to be measured in any reasonable fashion.

[KoolBak]

No...that's "Virginian"....lmao

Im going to assume they only went so far back in the lineage, maybe 4 or 5 generations, or maybe more, that would explain it best I think.

I think that probably is it. They have been here for whatever number of generations, and its not that there arent many in other states that have too, its that that is not where the waves of immigrants since, have immigrated to.

If youre immigrating to the US, the south is probably not whats touted on your brochure of the most welcoming place to go, or to make a living.

This is why America was reluctant to join WW2

In school I was taught that it was a major reason that America was reluctant to join WWI.

OH MAN! Another immigration thread!

At the time of WWI, there was a large population of both German and Jewish populations, and America didn't want to upset the German-heritage citizens by siding with U.K. and co. (initially) There were many pro-German members of government at the time, for quite a few reasons. Also the Zionist cause was tossed around by both Germany and the Entente Powers in secret alliances and so the U.S. would probably have backed either until the interception of the Zimmerman telegram by Blinker Hall (possible conspiracy jk)

I suggest that anyone who is interested read "Aaronsohn's Maps" by Patricia Goldstone. Fascinating biography of a man who hasn't received credit for all his work (and had much of it usurped by T.E. Lawrence) while also a pretty good account of the inner-workings of WWI and the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
