Assume that America is about 15% English. Assume Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are 40%. That amounts to about 75 million diaspora English as against 45 million English English. The two million English of 1450 have more descendants than the ~20 million French of the same year

Afaik half of all white americans are descendants of colonial English settlers. This makes America roughly 30% Englisch. Or 100 Million people

Except America is about 8% English and 5% French. Are you counting Quebecois in the French?
-
Anyone who takes the 8% number at face value needs their head examined. I shouldn't have to spell out why census identification is so inaccurate here: where do you think all identified "Americans" in the South came from?

It's not the majority, but it is a lot. About 37% iirc
