When your opponent in the skull measuring contest is this kind of white supremacist.When your opponent starts calling people Palatine settlers.
Free Palatine!
These goddamn Squareheads are Bavarianizing our children. All these teens on Tic-Tock are talking about August Bebel and the best sauces to dip pretzels in. I sneezed earlier today, and someone had the indecency to tell me “Gesundheit”. These backwards oafs can never assimilate into American culture, Wisconsin is already lost and is just a new Palatinate.
The Germanoid horde wants your daughter to drink BEER and wear whorish SKIRTS while BLOWING a long PIPE.
When drinking beer you should drink it a proper Anglo style, like mild, not these German lagers
Carbonated and cold, let it mold
Warm and flat, drink some of that
A Saxon without Anglo in them is a barbarian. We must protect our children from these savages.
German compradors when usians declare them not fully white:
Ah, finally bringing back squarehead as a slur?? Let’s go??? :isaac-pog:
Why should the Palatine boors be suffered to swarm into our settlements, and by herding together establish their language and manners to the exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a colony of aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of us Anglifying them, and will never adopt our language or customs, any more than they can acquire our complexion.

Zamn… the world will never again reach this level of racism, the westfalen
I bet we’ll see it again as material conditions deteriorate
He also called Germans swarthy/dark-skinned.
He called Swedes swarthy, the guy was operating on a whole different level of racism.
Look at these swarthy Eastern hordes!
Those Germans in Pennsylvania nearly had the constitution (and thus following legal documents) be written in German as well. I feel like that’s a possible shift in how future immigrants would have been assimilated, if there were precedent to allowing non-English at that level, maybe there’d be at least more pronounced and longer lasting non-English speaking communities rather than defaulting to the English dominated WASP culture that is hegemonic. Idk just mayo thoughts
Bit idea: claiming that Minecraft originated with Notch being racist against Norwegians
they really can’t conceive of someone living a similar life to their own without being angry and hateful
Fake white people:
Real white people:
god I wish there were still some unreformed forty-eighters like August Willich
which is why they gravitate to identity grievance politics
dude, you are the one who pretends (for political aims) that a fully burgerized settler is a roaming barbarian climbing rome’s walls bc of his identity
Ok this is new to me.
Aren’t Germans and Nordics considered the core solid WASPs to which others are compared?
It’s not even considered ‘ethnic’, I thought? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_ethnic
This is some vintage 1800’s style Know Nothings level of xenophobia
Racially, American nativists have focused on a wide variety of ethnicities. Historically, targets have included… German Americans – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nativism_in_United_States_politics
Interesting. I had not known this.
WWI was the defining moment of assimilation. External and internal social pressure forced a lot of german americans to stop speaking german and integrate with wider american culture. By WWII they had pretty much completely integrated into american society.
No, it’s in the name. WASP = white anglo saxon protestants. The core of whiteness is the
nobility. Because race science and the concept of whiteness is dumb.WASP is Anglo-Saxon, which includes basically northern Germany but not the rest.
I read once that the general 19th / early 20th century fascination that many Scandinavian Americans had with the thought of ancient Norsemen reaching way further inland on Turtle Island than they ever really did, manifested in things like the Kensington Runestone hoax… That all of that was basically in order to assert that the Scandinavian settlers had more of a “right to the land” than the Anglos, who saw the Scandinavians basically as weird foreigners.
Now I’m not an expert by any means, even though this is my own family history so I really should know a lot more; but my impression is that Scandinavians had privileges in the USA from being protestant and from looking like Anglos, yet Scandinavians’ deviation from the hegemonic Anglo core, most obviously in language, still created tension. This tension as I see it never really fully disappeared, it just became a lot less obvious: like, I have been called “not a real American” for being Norwegian before — but the difference between myself and the average self-identified Norwegian American is that I actually live in Norway, speak Norwegian, and generally have a meaningful connection to Norway.
I feel like Scandinavian Americans were historically much more of a mixed bag, with both your Joe Hills and Knute Nelsons, but the thorough assimilation of Scandinavians by today makes modern Scandinavian Americans much more consistently Seppo-ish.

Early America has A LOT of anti-Catholic brainworms, the Puritans were constantly fretting about “Popish Conspiracies”, there were tons of nativist anti-Catholic political parties and gangs. A lot of German immigrants were Catholic, and basically all Irish were, it was probably a bigger contribution towards hostility towards them than ethnic tensions.
Absolutely, absolutely.
They start with the assumption that England is the best and work backwards from there. The Saxon is only good when mixed with the Angles, thus they are superior to Germans for example.
The impression that Germans and Scandinavians are included is largely based on how things became later when you got national romance and especially since Germany have the dubious honour of being home to the most notorious race scientists and the notion of Aryans.
Everyone always forgot Jutes smh
This is an example of how the fash will move the target to include anyone they want to oppress, not even being white saves you from their wrath.
White Europeans arguing who is an actual American when actual Americans were subjected to a genocide by white Europeans.
Classic Angloid behavior
I didn’t expect chuds to do anti-euro talking points for people who’s european ancestors are generations removed. But here we are I guesz lmao
Democratic campaign strategy of “the other guys are fucking weirdos” continues to be the first good decision they’ve made in over a decade.
Them:
The Midwest is the true heartland of America!Also Them:
Stop these sick Midwestern Huns!
America become non-white majority not because of immigration or anything but because in 2030 Germans will no longer be considered white.
