I am a bit confused as to what "american" ancestry means...if they are saying that their ancestors are primarily native americans, I have to call bull shite...
They probably don't know. Frontier region. I'm surprised Scotland doesn't show up anywhere in the South.
African is understandable. Most black Americans don't know exactly where their ancestral land is--the countries on the map today came into existence fairly recently and the tribal identity was lost.

Perhaps that's why the red states list themselves as American. Indian tribes.
Most native Tennesseans come from Scoth-Irish ancestory. These groups came over beginning in the early 1700s. That's why they identify themselves as American. Unlike the immigrants that didn't come over until the early 1900s. They would have much more national identity of the country they came from.

What a dumb chart. Africa and Puerto Rico are not countries.
Huh? Where does it state that the demographics reported are what "country" they were from? Are you in the African demo?

Ok. It's dumb because it says the primary inhabitants of Puerto Rico are Puerto Ricans?! Get out of tow!

Scotch-Irish or Borderlanders and could consider themselves English but they hated those bastards and won a war and got their own country so they are thus Americans.

This is not true, the largest ten years of German immigration occurred at the end and after unification.
Cumulatively we got more Germans from 1820-1870 than we did from 1870-1890--though those two decades were the most active. We also had sprinklings of Germans earlier in US and colonial history, but I think it's hard to argue that their cultural influence in any way compared that of the British--in government, finance, or the military. It's not even in the same league.
