At the risk of castration here I'll explain that. Most Americans have only been in the country a few genereations. Most of us when asked "What are you?" We will most likely reply where our ancestors came from. For example, I was born in Florida but I'd say I'm Polish, Irish and British. In America, much emphasis is put on where your family originated from.
