      Top 10 countries of origin for non native Americans which are like 99% of America today:

      Top ten countries of origin for Americans (non-native)

      1. Germany ~14% 4–7 generations ago
      2. Africa (Sub-S) ~12% 8–15 generations ago (enslaved)
      3. Mexico ~11% 1–5 generations ago
      4. Ireland ~10% 4–7 generations ago
      5. England ~8% 8–15 generations ago
      6. Italy ~5.5% 4–5 generations ago
      7. Poland ~3% 4–5 generations ago
      8. France ~2.6% 6–14 generations ago
      9. Scotland ~1.9% 5–10 generations ago
      10. Norway ~1.4% 4–7 generations ago

      (1 generation ≈ 25 years. Based on US Census self-reported ancestry.)

      Those meager few generations don’t do anything for defining a specific look. Americans are genetically just everything thrown together while pretending to be “established”.

      And these are just top ten. Look at how many percent are still open to be filled with a large number of small percentage origins…
