Content: My neighbors went by names like Sprauls, Sheimann, Neiger, Christianson, Kaiser, Volk, Keller, Klein, Junker (pronounced with the Anglo "J" not "Y" sound) and Hamburg. My street was peppered with those names. We celebrated Oktoberfest (in October, though). We went to our Lutheran Churches (one of the biggest churches in Northern Ohio). The smoldering embers of German heritage will remain smoldering within the American furnace for as long as there's a USA. The reason why it may seem like you see a lot of Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Hispanic and African influence in the USA is a combination of recent massive influx thereof and (in the case of Blacks) a recent revival of a long suppressed cultural heritage that many are now trying to assert in the tapestry of who the USA is. Two massive immigrant groups: Hispanic and Sub-Continentals (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) are the "big ones" recently. Asians -- on the whole -- for the first time in history were the largest regional immigrants, passing Hispanics in 2012. Asians aren't a monolithic group, but it's still a notable shift.
