For the comments on this week's blog post complaining that my "less than 20% of Americans self-report ancestry that is likely to trace back to free British-American whites at the founding" misread the study, no it didn't but now I have added a really long note explaining math:pic.twitter.com/hAFIyOyn3M
I will hazard that some of those reader-commenters might have gone and looked at the survey results in question (which I linked to) and done a bit of math to see what the relevant groups could add up to rather than declaring I was "risibly wrong."
Anyway, RIP the argument's flow but at least we did a bunch of math to show in detail something that could be verified by basic arithmetic. But read the whole thing - which is mostly not basic math - here:https://acoup.blog/2021/07/02/collections-my-country-isnt-a-nation/ …
Without taking away from your point, not every one of those British & Irish immigrants came to America free. The first Saffell of my line in America was a prisoner of the Crown, for example.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1585495824/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_RQ1C8TPQGVB5DWH1PAYY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 …
And not every person of British descent came to the USA before 1790 either! I have quite a few naturalized British-American friends and colleagues. So as you say, the real number must be lower than that 17.7%.
I have an in-law descended from the Mayflower pilgrims. They certainly consider themselves the only “real” Americans.
The key here is, as you say, you are trying to measure identity rather than genetics.
