Y'all actually know your ethnicity? I know i'm white and that's about it.
Americans use ethnicity as a synonym for race. That's not formally correct. Wikipedia has it thusly:
An ethnicity or ethnic group is a group of people who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups.
If you don't know your ethnicity, then you don't have one. Except you do have one. White American certainly fits the definition.
I only know mine because I know the immigrant I descended from.
100% American.
