yeah but it doesn’t really make any sense though. Prior to Pennsylvania being Pennsylvania, it was literally Swedish. (well, and whatever other colony existed in that part at the time, the swedes are just one example)
By this argument, i’m [insert generic Midwestern state here] but that doesn’t change the fact that i’m a mix of European, Germanic, and some other general flavor of mostly European lineage.
The states existence has no influence on my ethnic roots, just like how modern state lines in current day america don’t like up with the original colonies. You could argue it’s a part of your identity, and that’s why it’s a demonym. Unless you’re stupid and don’t realize i’m talking about the Pennsylvanian state in America, in which case i question how long you’ve been on the internet.
Ethnicity is a much broader term than demonym, you’re talking about something on the scale of demonyms, a 4 story office building, i’m talking about ethnicity, something on the scale of the empire state building. These are simply two different things.
Also to be clear, i’m not denying your ethnicity, i’m arguing that you’re using the term ethnicity wrong, because that’s not ethnically relevant, it’s a demonym, if you were to say your demonym was Pennsylvanian, i would agree with you. It doesn’t take more than a few seconds of googling to realize you’re just trolling.
Your statement is almost as bad as me arguing that i’m not ethnically white, because i have a 10% Hispanic ethnic basis. Which i’m sure both you and me, would agree, is fucking stupid.
in fact doing some cursory list looking here, wikipedia suggests that “Pennsylvania dutch” is a thing, but that’s not what you’re saying, and it has roots in Germanic, as well as seemingly the Amish? Though it’s also protestant. And seeing as you’re saying you have native heritage in your blood, i’m guessing you’re probably not Amish.
