Content: The German immigrants in their day were treated, frankly, FAR WORSE than their descendants now currently treat the Mexican immigrants. Back then open prejudice was very much in vogue and people openly considered Germans (and Irish) to be pests. Look how that turned out! Jon Mixon

Originally Answered: Why has German culture failed to preserve itself in american society? German culture has experienced periods when it seen as being "Un-American" by some. But it has never faded from the American mindset. The Amish, Mennonites and Anabaptist communities in the US all speak a form of German among themselves. Their surnames are German,as are many of their written and oral traditions. Many Jews in the Northeastern parts of the US still speak Yiddish, which is a German language developed from Ashkenazi Jews from Germany and Central Europe.
