It has been a while since i have seen any form of opinionated debate thread here, and i have been tossing this question to some friends of mine for a bit, so i'll ask it here too.
TL;DR: Should a new "race" (to use the term loosely) be branded, due to the euro-based racemixing in the US?
In all of the places i have been in the US (every eastern state really), the majority of white people are some mix of German, Italian, Irish/Brit, French, or Nordic decent. Most commonly, i have seen mixes of Irish, German, and Italian. At this stage in the US, it is albeit arguably too late to stick to our own kinds; germans for germans, irish for irish, etc., because we are pretty mixed as-is.
My question is, should the Irish/German/Italian mix which most white US Citizens are be considered a new ethnicity? We as white Americans have more than likely been here for at least three generations so far, which usually constitutes the rebranding of ones nationality into the groups adoptive State. As far as I know, us on the right call ourselves American, our distinct nationality. As Americans, we have our own distinct conservative culture (I do not mean the political title conservative as it is currently used, but as in we wish to conserve all which we have). The only thing different amongst us whites that bars us from being one race are our distant and diverse ethnic backgrounds, which, now, are not so diverse any more. I have once heard us described in the German Amerikaner as a racial identity, though i dont recall the context, what mix it was directed at, where it came from, or anything really.
>Race: Amerikaner?
We are already called "white" as our race, but that is misleading and inaccurate. Irish are very different from lightskinned Greeks, and theyre both very different from an eastern Russian, an Italian, a Swede, and a German. Since most non-hispanic whites are a mix of Irish/German/Italian, should we coin a new term for us? This will be more accurate than "I'm 25% Irish, 25% German, 25% Italian, 12.5% Russian, 12.5% French," and it will give lefties a scary buzzword, which will further ostrasize the far-left from the moderate-left.
PROS? CONS? Rebuttals? Defenses?
