| According to wikipedia:
Many citizens listed themselves as "American" on the census (7.2%). They are generally assumed to be of predominantly English, Irish, Scottish, or Welsh stock, though some are likely to be people of several other different European ethnicities who are unable or unwilling to choose one. Many people who trace their ancestry to the colonial period or the slavery era consider themselves to be of "American" ancestry.
Accepting British for English would be slightly innacurate; 0.4% of Americans actually write down their ancestry as British, whereas 9.0% of Americans respond with English. Someone with British ancestry could be Irish, Scottish, Welsh, or Scotch-Irish in addition to English. |
