Who do Americans consider closer

I voted Japan. Right now the US is a sponge for Japanese culture, especially at the lower ages.

I seriously believe that it isn't in the spirit of this thread for non-Americans to vote in this pole.

I voted for German culture because the American experience with Germany isn't modern germany but rather the historical fantasy of "The Fatherland." This isn't a unique american phenomenon, turn of the century British thought of themselves as german cousins (perhaps because of the royal family, for which that applied literally) and as such espoused such noble qualities to the german people that americans likewise copied. It stuck more in america since they didn't suffer through two world wars and it had a larger german population.

Then again my experience could be more of a local one, I mean if you heard some conversations I've had with people around here you'd think we we're all Rommel Nazis*

*Along the lines of "You know Hitler wouldn't be so bad if he didn't start killing Jews." -Actually line I heard once.

no that can't be this map must be fake

Actually that map is 100% accurate Top Gun, remember though it's most ancestry so that means that they majority of those counties are more like 20-30% of that nationality than 70-80% of it.

And remember that your ancestors came to the Americas after everyone else

Yeah but we're all from Africa anyway so in the end location matters for nothing.

Can you explain that to me? I don't see a lot of Chinese culture just a lot of Chinese. I live in Toronto to which is one of the most mixed cultured cities in the world.

I voted for the germans, I look at the french as more of a big brother type, constant arguing between siblings, with germany as one of the parents.  Of course in Minnesota it seems like 90% of the population has scandinavian or german ancestry.  Nothing but blonde hair and blue eyes.
