I always found it mildly funny when US-Americans told me that they were German when, to me as a German, it is a rather strange idea to think of it as some sort of ethnicity/heritage rather than a nationality.

Large swaths of america spoke german natively until it became unpopular to do so sometime in the 20th century. American cuisine is largely German. Finding peoples origins "mildly funny" is not very polite in the US. As a German you may not understand
