Just a minor correction. People seem to miss it so often not sure why.
- subroutine 2y agoThey are saying most Americans come from Europe, which is why Columbus's origin is interesting to them. Your correction would be like saying "most European Americans come from Europe"
- netdevnet 2y agoThat is not true though unless you explicitly mean something different. American does not equate to European American. Most Americans come from Mexico, India and China. In that order. European countries are not even in the top 5. You are probably talking about something else but are unable to phrase it properly likely due to some internal assumptions. You are welcome to share those assumptions :)
- dumah 2y agoMost Americans (62%) have European ancestry. You are listing the most frequent origins of immigrants to America as of 2024. I’m not sure how this is relevant to the prior discussion. https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2023/09/2020-census-dhc-a-race-overview.html https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2023/09/2020-census-d...
- netdevnet 2y agoYou are right. It will be interesting to see how it changes given the fast rising Asian American demographics in the coming decades as Asia becomes host to more powerhouses. Regarding your confusion, ancestry is the whole point of this thread. This sub-discussion just focused on a specific part of the discussion :)
