You do know that America has had a steady stream of immigrants from around the world since it was founded , right ? It ' s nothing to do with popularity . America had a large immigration rush in the 1920 ' s from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe , and even before then , people from all of western europe were coming here . Other European immigrants outnumbered English immigrants by quite a bit , because England had been doing pretty well and people had no reason to leave once America gained independence . The two largest European ethnicities in America are German and Irish . <| sep |> Always everyone ' s fault but hers . <| sep |> I thought he was Correlian . <| sep |> anyone else try to click the likedislike buttons ? . no ? just me ? well bye
