English is not the racially original language of most of the "white" people in the U.S.

But it is the original language of the white people who originally settled the USA and founded the original 13 colonies, and then wrote the Declaration of Independence, fought the Revolutionary War and wrote the Articles of Confederation and then the US Constitution.

No point in pretending that the heritage of the USA is not overwhelmingly English. The white folks were 90% English during the revolution.

I certainly understand your post; however, I don’t believe you understood mine.

Maybe a majority, but not 90%. A lot of Ulster-Scots lived west of the major population centers. There were also smaller but sizable numbers of Germans, Dutch, Swedes, French (especially Hugenots), Welsh, and others.
