Cor blimey - not the limeys?

For Marlene's information:

' In the 1980 United States Census, over 49 million (49,598,035) Americans claimed English ancestry, at the time around 26.34% of the total population and largest reported group which, even today, would make them the largest ethnic group in the United States.

***

Eight out of the ten most common surnames in the United States are of English origin or having possible mixed British Isles heritage, the other two being of Spanish origin.

***

The overwhelming majority of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America were of English extraction, including Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, James Madison[15] and Thomas Jefferson (however Jefferson's father was of immigrant parents said to have come from the Snowdonia district of northern Wales.

In 1982, an opinion poll showed respondents a card listing a number of ethnic groups and asked, "Thinking both of what they have contributed to this country and have gotten from this country, for each one tell me whether you think, on balance, they've been a good or a bad thing for this country." The English were the top ethnic group, with 66% saying they were a good thing for the United States, followed by the Irish at 62%.

Why do you suppose this is, Marla?

That the Poms are the most valued demographic in the USA?

Why do 66% of your neighbours think the Brits deserve Top Billing as America's finest-and-best immigrants?

Hmmm ... ?



WHY the general adoration of the British amongst 66% of your fellow compatriots, Marla?

If I holidayed in the US would I be mobbed by an adoring crowd if I wore the British flag as a T-Shirt?

The only ones I could see marching against Trump are the lackeys of the 'global economy'... all those fine-suited gentlemen and women striding shoulder to shoulder and demanding that he cease putting up walls to their profiteering...

A sociological experiment to see if Equality is all it is claimed to be.......... I'm looking forward to Rejection of Immigrants Day on 26th January..... the day the locals fought to oppose the landing of poor prisoners tied up in ships for six months on starvation rations in deadly conditions... it was a war, bro... they invaded them convicts....

Yeah, I'm not really concerned with what you think.

If you'd like to visit the public parks in Guildford (WA) though, you'll see I'm right.
