“Pennsylvania Dutch” are descendants of Germans. The usage of “Dutch” in that case is simply a corruption of “Deutsch.”

The Pennsylvania Dutch are actually of German descent...that's a misnomer based on the mispronunciation of Pennsylvania "Deutch."

The Pennsylvania Dutch are Swiss.

Michigan and New York. The term "Dutch" as used in Pennsylvania refers to "Deutsch" and specifically to Palitinate Germans.

Different "Dutch" ~ in different countries ~ and periods of time.

Check for the blonds with the vacant stare.

Nope.... They settled in the city renamed New York and the surrounding countryside.

There are a lot of Dutch in Michigan where he is running for the primary. I don't see where he gets elected or even voted for by picking a fight with Holland.

No, most of the Dutch are in Michigan — the “Pennsylvania Dutch” are more of German (Deutsch) decent.
