Quite a high percentage for Norway. Did this happen after trump endorsed it? 😅
Impenetrable
Iceland 1.7% seems not really believable.
I think Ireland should get another category and colour for this.
Norway is surprising to me, really rare that you’d hear of Norwegian-American people/culture/anything
The American census is terribly unreliable though. Most Americans of English descent who’s families have been in North America since the 1700’s identify as American. Then there are those who identify as Irish even though it was only their great grandfather who was.
just because a person has some Irish ancestry it doesn’t mean she is Irish diaspora
Norway was a bit of surprise
Most white Americans are a mix of British and German background I believe (a lot of the German migrants anglicized their last names)
Looks like America is going Viking.
Say my great great great grand father was Scottish and his lady was Italian, where am I in this map ?
But this is apples and oranges. If I live in Norway, I am a component of the Norwegian population. If I’m an American in 2023, I may well have English, Norwegian, Irish and German ancestry, so would contribute to the “diaspora” of four of the nations on this map.
96% Scottish????
I read that Ireland, pre-American Revolution, had the highest population density on Earth; is that right? Then the blight scattered them west to the Americas.

Is it America or just the US?
I honestly doubt that England only has 38%
