Well, I think if you summed up all the British Isles groups, they'd be a larger percentage than the Germans.
English (8.7) + Scottish (1.7) + Scotch-Irish (1.5) + Welsh (.6) = 12.5. Would you count Irish in there, too?
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
A friend of mine has, Emily. I can give him your e-mail address if you want, I'm sure he'd be glad to talk about it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't see why there's need for a question
The diversity of the answers is all the need I have.
You're not going to get anything from me but Jamaican, but that's telling in and of itself, isn't it?

Would you count Irish in there, too?
Yeah, though you could call it either way.
And I don't really believe the Scottish or Scotch-Irish percentages are that small. Of course, that may be extrapolating too much from my home corner of the South.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Czech-Irish-German-English-Swiss-Native American here. My grandfather actually came over from Czechslovakia (as a wee child), so that's the one I tend to identify with more.

Jesse! Yardie!
Oh, that's not what you meant, was it?

I am not .3% Jamaican, except inasmuch as I Am America, and the US is .3% Jamaican.
Although I swear I heard my grandmother's family was somewhere in the west indies before they made it to TX. So maybe I am!!

Hmm. More talking to strangers. Really, all I want is someone to pat me on the back and say, "It's a good idea, it'll be fine, you should totally do it." For lo, I am pathetic and meek.
