19:23:54 <Ampera> it looks like the vast vast majority of your population is European.
19:23:54 <Halcyon> Generally speaking, yes.
19:23:54 <Halcyon> It varies widely between areas
19:23:54 <Halcyon> But then you also have those from non-english speaking backgrounds who have kids and are born here. Those aren't captured in those stats.
19:23:54 <Ampera> I honestly cannot find a reliable complete list of all the ancestries in the US.
19:23:54 <Halcyon> For example, Fairfield which is a large government area in Sydney, has 78.3% of the population where both parents were born overseas.
19:23:54 <Ampera> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States#2015_American_Community_Survey
19:23:54 <Halcyon> Most of them are either middle eastern or asian
19:23:54 <EEVBot> [Title] - Race and ethnicity in the United States - Wikipedia
19:23:54 <Halcyon> The German stat is rather interesting
19:23:54 <Ampera> Most of the major European ancestries are listed there, and together make up a distinct minority of the population.
19:23:54 <Ampera> It's quite well known
19:23:54 <Ampera> especially where I live, there's quite a lot of Germans
19:23:54 <Halcyon> Yourself included
19:23:54 <Ampera> you also have to understand "German" is a term that can mean almost anyone from the Netherlands to Austria in certain circumstances.
19:23:54 <Ampera> Even some parts of Poland
19:23:54 <Ampera> all the way up to the Baltic states
19:23:54 <Ampera> literally depends on what context and how specific you mean
19:23:54 <Halcyon> Well that's the same thing as Scandinavian
19:23:54 <Halcyon> It depends who you're talking to
19:23:55 <Ampera> Scandinavia is a geographic term
19:23:55 <Ampera> comprising of the lands of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark
19:23:55 <Halcyon> It is but it also can refer to the regions outside
19:23:55 <Ampera> Germany didn't exist as a geographic term until the late 1800's
19:23:55 <Ampera> or even as an actual thing
19:23:55 <Halcyon> *nod*
19:23:55 <Halcyon> Anyways, I need to get back to this fridge, I have food outside getting warm
19:23:55 <Halcyon> Can't have sweaty cheese
