Re: Ethnicity in America

[personal profile] othellia 2013-12-09 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
In terms of different white ethnicities in America, I think it kind of depends on the place and the age of the person you're talking to. Coming from a military family that bounced all over the place, I'd say ethnic differences were least pronounced on the military bases themselves and probably most pronounced in the Midwest?

Overseas I was just "American", in Hawaii I was "white", Florida and Washington didn't seem to care... But the Midwest? Just my personal experience and its definitely not as segregated as my grandpa used to describe with Italians getting their own neighborhood, Polish getting another, Slovenians getting yet another; but it's still probably the place where I can ask "what's your ethnicity?" and get more "1/2 german and 1/2 italian" or "1/4 english, 1/4 irish, and a 1/2 polish" answers than "white" or "american" or "i don't know" answers.

Although Italian and Polish and German and Irish food is still considered "ethnic" food, so there's still that weird American vs non-American in that.
