I guess to your point Strange Famous, my ethnicity is English Canadian, United Church upbringing, but definitely a child of the (sub)urban milieu of the Great Lakes area growing up in the 1960 - 70's. Culture as you saw it on TV basically.
Both parents were ethnically european white and protestant, however, they diverged in that my mother's family are Scottish while my Father's is German.
May sound minor, but believe me it caused familial cataclysm when they got together. My Scottish & Canadian sided grandfather couldn't forgive my mother for taking up with a Hun. My German uncle on the other hand, never spoke to my father (his brother) until the '70's because he left Germany and married a woman from a country that had unresolved hostilities (he claims that Canada and Germany never signed a peace treaty).
