Well you know that the majority of Americans, at least those of European ancestory, have a good share of German ancestory(most especally me, I'm at least 1/2 Kraut myself, my daughter has been approached twice by German nationals who started speaking German to her, but then switched to English when they discovered she wasn't German. She speaks Spanish, not German, but her husband speaks German, even though his ancestory is pure Polish from both the German dominated side and the Russian dominated side). But then we added some crazy Irishmen, and hot tempered Itallians into the mix. This may explain why, while you do well against other Europeans, we handed y'all your fundament twice in the last century. While we are historically slow to get anger, we are the ones not to F**** with. Hybrid vigor don't you know. :)
