European Americans by Region

[jonboyclem]

Northeast

A Melting Pot of British, Irish,Italian, German, Ashkenazi Jew, Greek, Polish mixed with other for the most part. Most of the immigration wave of late 1800's, early 1900's settled in Northeastern cities such as New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore and still cling to their European ethnicities rather than the Anglo-Saxon American identity found elsewhere in the country. By far the least Germanic region in the United States.

Magneto,

My first thought was Italian. But it's not really a good picture.

Mexicans of Spanish ancestry, there's a big population of Criollo Mexicanos in the Southwest.

[bami]

They clearly look mestizos ....

As Bami points out, they clearly look Mestizo but I'd add leaning much more towards European than is typical. It's common among some Mexicans to call themselves Spanish, or criollos. The ones who lean more towards European do, anyway.

[bami]

The data on German-Americans is accurate,a large bulk of their population concentrated in upper Midwest and Pennsylvania.Most of them do like to intermarry British descent ( mainly English & anglicized Welsh Scottish ).

I agree with this, my mother is a good example of this, she's got significant Mennonite German blood from Pennsylvania and the Midwest, but those German's had a thing for marrying Brits which is why despite my mother's German blood I still have 7/8th's British Isle's ancestry, lucky for me my kin are patrilineal so I did not inherit any of those stern and unexciting German traits. :D

I think sternness & emotionally rigid are unique traits of the Germans ( that's what I've detected from extensive person-to-person interactions IRL ),more prevalent in males because girls are just fine like all other European descent of same gender.

On average,German guys are better looking than the opposite sex.

That might be why it was so easy for my grandfather to ditch my grandmother and not so much as show any remorse whatsoever. :p A true bastard he was, this may be my root towards a bias against Germans.
