I wonder about the "American" group shown on this map (light yellow). Every American's ancestry, with a couple of exceptions, can be traced back to somewhere else. There should be no "American" group but its there. I wonder why?
Either the people in these areas don't know where their ancestors are from or don't care. I guess either is possible, people have lived in this area for generations and probably do see themselves as "Americans" but this would apply to the many other areas as well so it's not really a good answer. In reality we are all "American", only the people in these areas said their ancestors were "American"?
But,..... this "American" area corresponds roughly with the hard-core Fox-News, Sarah Palin, Red-State voter. could it be that when they "checked" the "ancestory-box" they thought to themselves, "Damn-it, I'm a real UH-Mericon!".
