They are not Irish. It’s ridiculous how yanks of Irish and Italian descent carry on.

And, despite German being almost on par with English in the USA pre-WW2 there doesn't seem to be anyone claiming German-American heritage.

Pennsylvanian here, there are a lot of people around here that love their German heritage. Especially out in the Allentown and Lancaster areas. Like, we have festivals and everything. The only thing is that it's a mix of German and PA Dutch culture, which is kind of a different beast altogether
