I am German. After the First World War, Germany had a very difficult economic time. Young women also had a problem finding a husband because so many young men were dead. For these reasons, a great aunt of mine went to the USA, even though Germans were not very well respected there at the time. I think my great aunt was a strong woman. Rest in peace, Aunt Gertrud...
I'll just post it here. I had replied to your 9/11 video which is how I discovered your channel, and here's what I wrote there : I was fourteen years old when the Twin Towers were destroyed here in NYC. I grew up with those buildings. I went on the roof of the South Tower back in 1994. Twin Towers was my favorite spot here in NYC. NYC never been the same since. Now we have gentrification (racism) that literally destroyed the city as a whole. I'll never forget Sept 11th, 2001. I still remember hearing the explosions, and watching the collapse of the North Tower, live... I hope I can do a 9/11 video with the four of you one day. I study journalism, and I have guested on podcast videos, and I've talked about 9/11 in some of the videos I've guested on.
It doesn't matter what race or ethnic group you come from somewhere in America you will find your culture We are so Multicultural may not be much but you'll find , America is huge Pa has alot of German
That's the thing isn't it? German, Irish, Portuguese, are nationalities, not ethnic groups. This sort of labeling make no sense to me, maybe because I'm Portuguese, and we have so many people from our former colonies, that we don't label as Cape Verdian-Portuguese, since that makes no sense. Portuguese is a nationality (same as American), thus if you were born in Portugal, by definition, you are Portuguese, regardless of where your parents or grandparents were born.
@ruialmeida818 I assume you think I'm white I live in America yes I'm Spanish I was being kind you should as well no frkn racism shizz here, I'm American because that's where I live not Spanish-American: AMERICAN
@@ruialmeida818Take a DNA test and you’ll see how ignorant you sound right now. American is not an ethnicity, only a nationality. No one born in the U.S. today is “ethnically American” unless you’re Native American. You can be ethnically Portuguese, German or Irish even if you weren’t born in those countries and you can have them as your nationality if you don’t share ethnic ties to these countries, too. Nationality and ethnicity are not the same thing. When Americans mention they are “German” they are referring to their family heritage and or immigration history and it’s common knowledge among other Americans what they are saying when they say it. Why do we have to explain this to Europeans like they’re five? Lmao

My paternal grandfather came to Chicago in the early 1920s because the economy was horrendous in Germany after WWI. He brought my grandmother and father over in 1925. My mom’s family came to Wisconsin from Norway around the turn of the 20th century and were farmers.
Your German grandfather's story is very similar to my great aunt's story. During World War II, my American family fought against my German family. That wasn't easy. One of my great aunt's nephews, Ludwig, was killed by American soldiers. To be fair, my uncle Ludwig also killed American soldiers. It wasn't a good time for our "American-German" family bond. After World War II, my American great aunt sent care packages to her family in Germany. I would say that family bonding was stronger than World War II. Greetings from Germany...
@@Triple_U_e it is very nice of you to reply! Greetings back from Las Vegas, Nevada. WWII was indeed a terrible time for both of our countries and families. My uncle parachuted into France on DDay and was killed in action on that first day. I’m glad we are now at peace and friends. Best to you and your family.
Makes me wonder if I have some unknown relatives above there in the USA 😂 I mean one family tree kinda breaks up after WW2 and now the politicians are already preparing to join WW3... maybe I should get around to these ancestry DNA tests asap 😂
Seriously the tendency of humans to love to hat eachother and hate to love eachother does make the ancestry results impressive if anything over 80% traces you back to only one continent 😂 😉
This is such an American thing - I'm 'german american' or I'm 'Irish american'... fff - German, Irish, Portuguese, Spanish are nationalities and that's it. If you are born in the US, regardless of where your parents or grandparents were born, you are American, and that is it. A lot of people from former colonies moved to Portugal over the years, and when they have kids here, guess what, they are Portuguese - not from Cape Verde, or Mozambique, they are Portuguese. Trust people from the US (I refuse to call them Americans, as Canadians and Mexicans are also American), to make a huge deal out of something as trivial as from where your grand-parents were born. Most so called German-Americans can't even speak German, and know nothing about the German culture and History.
@@ruialmeida818 You can’t even differentiate between ethnicity and nationality. German, Irish, or Portuguese are ethnicities and nationalities. You can be Portuguese ethnically, even if you’re not from Portugal just like you can be Portuguese through nationality. When an American says they’re “Irish or German” they are talking about their heritage or immigration history and Americans know what they’re saying. Take a DNA test and you will realize how ignorant you sound. Lol

You stole that thumbnail from another creator. If you’re going to clone another creator’s work, at least don’t be so lazy as to steal the image they made. Way to go, thief! I’m reporting you.
