Are British or Irish whites in the United States Germans or Aryans among whites?

British or Irish whites in the United States belong to Germans among whites, and American whites refer to Americans who are considered or claim to be white. According to the definition of American government agencies, white people refer to people of European, Middle Eastern and North African ethnic origin.

Although the Irish only account for 12% of the American population, among the whites, they are second only to the Germans and significantly higher than the English who account for 9% of the American population. In the early stage, the United States was dominated by British people, and the history of British immigrants to the United States was relatively the most respectable, and they have been living in a good state.

In fact, the British are the crystallization of two Germanic tribes, the Angles and the Saxons, who invaded the island of Great Britain from the European continent. From the bloodline point of view, they should also belong to the Germans. It is only because they have been separated from the Germans in continental Europe by the English Channel for a long time that they seem to agree with each other. The relationship between the English and the Germans in continental Europe is similar to that between the Han people in the Central Plains and the Han people in Lingnan.

Extended data:

Today's American nation is a new nation composed of immigrants from many countries, but the main nation is still Germanic, with the most descendants from Germany, Ireland, England and Italy.
