half my family has been here since at least 1766, the other were german immigrants from the 1850s

Well that's your experience. Growing up in an area where a large part of the population had great-grandparents who came here to work in caol mines and steel mills, a lot of us can appreciate a polka. You'd be surprised. I can sing songs in Slovenian, my mother plays button-box accordion, and from my Calabrese Italian great-grandparents I have a kick-recipe for sauce. I lived in the "little Italy" neighborhood of my city and loved it. Best day of the year was when they built the Bocce court right outside my place. I'd hit up all the vendors for for the best food and listen to the old Dagos swear at eachother in Italian (I don't speak much, but I know a few cusses) while playing.
And I lived in Phoenix for a few years, my best friend there was an anonl that was 100% Mexican and born in a border town. She spoke fluent Mexian and and taught me how to make homemade mexican foods. I met her family at a huge party - was probably my best night in Arizona.
The thing about growing up where I did and the next few states over, there are plenty of people with Eastern European, Polish, Italian decent etc. I knew German kids and Irish ones. Most kids in my school had last names like mine.

Of course there is an assimilation into an over all "American" culture. Plenty of us from various ethnic wear red,white&blue on the 4th of July and green on St. Patrick's day. I've always felt close to my Italian and Slovenian heritage AND that I'm American. And again, that is quite common in the region where I live.
>>1405772
oh, and farm kids in my area too. More than a few kids from farm families in my school district and I have a couple of cousins once and twice removed that grew up/own working farms. (Mainly dairy, I think. A chicken farm. And a ranch with horses.)
So mixed in with people that can polka and eat cabbage, your Irish/Italian/Slovak/Polish Catholic types, there's redneck cowboy Protestants a plenty.

(... although, this would have just stagnated the new African colony's economy, rather than encouraged industrialism... whatever, ship 'em all over.)
>>1405797
>arent we rioting right now over racial tensions?
Yes, in some isolated instances that get a lot of newsmedia play. Day-to-day life goes on as normal for the vast majority.
Compared to what's going on in Western Europe, things in America are fuckin' peachy-keen, breh.
Fuck y'all, OP has a very valid point.
Compared to European and other world societies, America is heterogeneous as fuck. Yes, Americans have lost their original cultures to become ethnically "American" whatever that means, but it's still a melting pot and cultural enclaves still exist.
Even in modern times, Europeans have NEVER had large numbers of people of a different culture among them. It's only just now happening with Muslims and people are flipping shit. They're being exposed for the xenophobes they always were. Whereas even though America has had its own problems with slavery and segregation and the like, we've been able to face those problems, try to overcome them, and we're better now for it. Nowadays there's a very real sense that all people are equal, at least legally it is an official requirement (even if rednecks and police haven't gotten with the program yet), society at large has made up its mind. I could not say that confidently about other nations in Europe and elsewhere.
But to answer OP's question, ethnic diversity was less of a problem because they had no choice. Most of America was uncivilized and seen as a vast wilderness needing to be tamed. My ancestors were European immigrants and they survived the migration by moving to the frontier and farming uninhabited land. As Scandinavian immigrants they had a very different culture, but after working their lives away they were eventually accepted as genuine Americans. Being white helped a lot with that, but you could also say that perhaps racism did help. There were always worse races to hate, so whites accepted Italians, Irish, and other groups eventually, because they weren't black, Mexican, or whatever. It's a strange community but it works.

America is a young nation. We all came here from somewhere. The people who rail against immigration are the blue collar guys who used to make $25/hour for low-skilled labor under union agreements.
I'm not saying that workers shouldn't share in the prosperity of a company, but blaming immigrants for your woes is short sighted. Look up at the people who profit from all this.

That's the dumbest shit I've ever read in my entire life. European kingdoms always had minority cultures inside them. Spain had Catalans, Basques, and Galicians. France had the Occitans, and the Bretons. Germany had Poles, French, and Danes. Britain had the Irish. Sweden had Finno-Ugrics. Russia had too many to count. Austria had Slavs, Magyrs, and Italians.

>>1406072
This. Ethnic conflict has existed everywhere for all of history. It's simply built into our DNA. There are hundreds of different "ethnicities" in Europe, Asia, Africa, etc. There's been plenty of ethnic conflict here as well, it's just that our government was typically a neutral party that mediated and kept order, with a few obvious exceptions, so it never was able to erupt into full-scale war.

But it is now.
>>1406480
maybe so. but I wouldn't call my Slovenian heritage "a pinch of difference added for flavor" which you might as well use to describe the average American family having an "Italian" dinner at the fucking Olive Garden.
I'm Slovenian through both my mother's family and my father's. My dad's mothers parents were both Slovene immigrants who came to America; my grandmother visited Slovenia before she died (though I don't know if she contacted family); my cousin/father's niece has contacted us to relatives she found online (after researching the roots of our surname) and we've exchanged e-mails and letters; my dad's mother sang to me in Slovenian.
My mother's mother was Slovenian through her father; his father, my maternal great-great-grandfather, came to America from Slovenia and somehow arranged through family (we think) to have a Slovenian woman join him here years later to marry. My great-grandfather was born here, but didn't speak English until he went to school (he's the one we get our musicality from, btw) - he lived to be 88 or so; he died when I was 16, I was his oldest great-grandchild, my mother his oldest grandchild.
Like I said, my mother plays Slovenian button-box (and accordion). I actually sang and played saxophone (my sister clarinet) in a polka band growing up, while the "cool kids" from school were starting garage bands. I can still sing songs in Slovenian. My life insurance my entire life has been through the Slovene National Benefit Society (SNPJ - acronym in Slovenian). I was a member of the SNPJ growing up and won miss talent in the pageant in Enon Valley at the SNPJ picnic grounds my senior year of highschool. I sang an Italian aria for the competition and a Slovenian song for fun with the band at the dance that weekend. I once danced a polka with Mr. Jimmy Sturr himself, while the legendary Frankie Yankovic and band played on stage (I was a bit star-struck, being a young teen.)
>>1406983
>cont.
I can't tell you how many polka festivals and Saturday night "Slovenian club" dances I've been to, and that was mainly in my Jr. high and high school years. My family made many connections and friends seeing the same crowd (in particular the musicians we've played with) over the years. I still remember the a lady who I sang with growing up who wore a dress and headdress like the lady in front of the
>pic related.
I was able to borrow and wear a dress exactly like the woman on the very left in the pic.
I've rambled on, and gotten way to personal, I know better than to treat this place like a damn blog, but I have to admit it stings a little to be called an "American mutt" by an "actual Slovene". You're right, I don't live in Slovenia and I'm aware of the vast differences between us for that.
But to knock us down a peg like that, when so many of us here hold together to pass down the memories and Slovenian culture all these generations later - well, I know it's special and can appreciate it, though you may not. As would the thousands of Slovenian Americans out here just like me. I will think about you the next time I wear my "LOVE - it's in every sLOVEnian" T-shirt, you h8r. Or when my 4-year-old niece tells me "Bog pomagaj" when I sneeze...
p.s. I'm probably at least 10 years older than you... so if you still don't have any respect for Slovenian heritage in America after this post, maybe you're just a smart-ass kid who thinks he's better than any dumb 'murican.

Sure, folk culture remains in some parts more prevalently and in some parts as a peculiar hobby, but the exhoduses have been over for almost 100 years now and slovene culture has moved on, while you stayed detached, a good example being the sLOVEnia T-shirt, most people hated that meme here.

tbph, I have a there's love in every Slovenian t-shirt because my Slovene gram who passed away had one that had red writing on it with a blue heart and I just thought it was the sweetest thing when I was a little girl (a long time ago, remember?)
So, when I saw one at Slovenefest at Enon valley a few years back, I bought it.
Of course Slovenia today must be modern and don't go around in their folk clothes and stuff, but surely there are places in Slovenia to hear button-box polka?
I was closer to my heritage than a lot of kids, but it wasn't weird or an anomaly that I was so. It's just way too huge a generalization to say that American's are mutts with flavor culture or whatever. In Europe history goes back thousands of years. But here, there is a huge, huge, huge population of us whose great or great-great grandparents came < 150 years ago. It's totally the norm for people to say "my mom's family is French", "I come from a big Irish Catholic family (take Conan O'Brien for a celebrity example), or "my paternal grandfather's family came from Calabria, while my maternal grandfathers family was almost French - they sailed from Torino when they left for America in 1904..." or whatever.
Some immigrants wouldn't work with blacks. Some early American (immigrants, too, but from a much earlier time) owned black slaves. Some, new here, worked and lived alongside them in coal mining towns.
... continuing, damn it
>>1408532
just like I would have no idea that you were even aware that there was an "there's love in every slovenian t-shirt" let alone that it was considered a retarded meme there, I'm afraid your generalization of American culture falls way too short. I've been speaking of just one region of the country where so many people settled at the turn of the century to work in said mines and mills. You don't have to go very far Eastward to find families that were here 100 years before that, cities that were some of the nation's very first. Then there's Phoenix, which grew into a city after the invention of air-conditioning.
Americans are different from region to region, and within regions you have varying immigrant experiences. It's a rich and complicated history obviously. Yes, we have a broad "united" American culture, but that doesn't erase our individual ethnic heritages. But to delve into unique immigration experiences (look at our "build the wall" culture now, and all of our Indian and Chinese physicians... we've barely begun to scratch the surface), I don't know how to begin to have an informative discussion about it on our Somalian Ice-Fishing image board here.

https://youtu.be/CpmDAu_47OE
My 4yo niece is almost obsessed with them - we watched the video almost 10 times in a row when I babysat her a few weeks ago, until she finally fell asleep.
I can tell from the German (translated) wiki, they came around in 2009, and I've seen some vids where they do covers of modern pop songs. Just looking for the take on them over there, and in general about my question here

>Of course Slovenia today must be modern and don't go around in their folk clothes and stuff, but surely there are places in Slovenia to hear button-box polka?

Anway, as for your button box polka, here is what most rural people today listen to.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLIhJ3ragSY
Of course there's loads of similarities to the Austrian/Bavarian style, with a bit of a balkan twist perhaps, but an important thing to note here is that this music is mainly the product of austrian cultural influence post 18th cenutry.
Here is some, that is ostensibly more genuinely slovenian, although even most slovenes don't know too much about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03sZYITvY6Q
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xRX7-RizlI
And this is what I was talking about, from what I've seen of american-slovenes, they mostly carry the 19th-early 20th century slice of slovenia with them, because obviously, most migrated there then.
There's no american slovenes that get nostalgic for Tito and Yugoslavia while listening to yugorock, no american slovenes that have a strong feeling about bosnian immigrants, that either love the partisans and hate the homeguard or vice versa, that love Pavček and are still traumatised by Cankar's depressive realist literature.
Anyway, since you seem interested, here's a couple of slovene films about contemporary (urban) slovenia if you manage to find subtitles.

Tomorrow I am going to have to see if I can find some Pavcek (and Cankar) to read. And will give the movies a shot.
So glad we discussed this further, because I understand exactly what you meant now by "actual Slovenian". And I hope you can understand how, in America around other Americans, I might say "I'm Slovenian".

you're not neither. obviously - the anglopedo smeared by nationalistart propaganda won't direct it properly
"Slovenians" or "Słowienie" as we called them, were the natives of North Rus, who were desiring entering he political union with PLC-Commonwealth. Pomortsy (Pomorcy) was their colonisation in the more northern parts, generally Finnic lands.

Woah the 'muh heritage' cancer is pretty old.
>>1412809
this is a wendish fabrication, slovenians or "slovenics" were an ancient empire long before written history, who gave rise to the machine AI.
>>1405076
This.

In Europe there's no empty frontier to send the undesireables until they've been more or less adapted. In the few countries where there's one, immigrants don't want to go there and it's seen as inhumane to "force" them.
just remembered my grandma singing this to me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8HVLg3v5Gg
I really miss her. Would any of you be kind enough to tell me what you know about the song if you're familiar?
oh yeah, she wasn't "nostalgic" for based Tito, but she adored him. And she lived her whole life a town over from that small mining town I was talking about. She did travel to Slovenia several times... Also, I was too young to understand, but old enough to remember the Yugoslav wars.
Trigger warning: I know that in NO WAY qualifies me to consider myself (an American) Slovenian in the way that (Slovenian) Slovenes are.
also found some stuff
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovenes#Emigration
>Between 1880 and World War I, the largest numbers of Slovenes emigrated to America. Most of these went between 1905 and 1913, although the exact number is impossible to determine because Slovenes were often classified as Austrians, Italians, Croats, or under other, broader labels, such as Slavonic or Slavic.

cool, anon. nice to have a real /his/torian in this otherwise pretty weird thread. (honestly, I've never heard of most of the terms in your post.) I'll add it to the list of things I'll have to read up on to know more about "muh heritage"

A tune composed by the famous Slovene American from Pennyslvania and Polka Hall of Fame member, Johnny Krizancic.
>Performing: Alex Meixner with Lenny Gomulka and Chicago Push. Vero Beach Polish American Club. Florida Jan 2013. Alex Meixner, Lenny Gomulka, Mike Stapinski, John Mikos,.Kevin Martin and Vinny Bozzarelli.
How's that for a group of eclectic ethnicities making polka music together. They are singing an American-Slovenian polka composed by a Pennsylvanian, sung (including the part of the lyrics that are in Slovenian) by German-American Alex Meixner, backed up by a Polish-American Chicago-style polka band (Gomulka's crew - note the trumpet playing), performing in Florida. <3
US is the only country in the world where Europeans of all ethnicities (German, Polish, Dutch, English) managed to merge into an uniform "white American" group. I think that's a pretty awesome achievement honestly.
>>1403878
America has had a LOT of ethic tensions
What ended up happening is that all the Europeans ended up merging into a monolithic "white" American culture.
Non whites never fully assimilated for various reasons
>>1413814
But even non-whites assimilated into larger blob groups. We don't differentiate between the Yorubas and the Mandingos or whatever the fuck, they're all just "blacks".

nice to see you, /x/!
for the curious:

>Francis E. Dec, Esq. (1926-1996) was a U.S. lawyer, famous for collapsing into paranoid schizophrenia in the early sixties, henceforth living as a recluse and mass-mailing wild, paranoid typewriter-keyed rants around the country.
He was of Polish-American heritage.
some of his convictions:
>the Worldwide Mad Deadly Communist Gangster Computer God was a Slovene "Top Secret Encyclopedia" which achieved sentience and turned into Devil God.
>Dec claimed that the Roman Empire never existed, that there was once a world-wide Slovene Empire and that Computer God interbred Slovene and black people to create "Jew-mulattos".
on WWII
>The Nazis were actually Jews exterminating Polish; the ghettos were posh and luxurious Jew districts; there were only six million Polish and all of them were killed and made into human meat; somehow some of them survived to be later sacrificed for USA and Great Britain; the 1943 ghetto uprising is a fabrication by Gangster Computer God; and pope Pius apparently ate Polish human meat.
>The Slovenic-Polish population were apparently the most ingenious race and the creators of all science and religion.
>that Polish name for Saturday - sobota - comes from "sabbath" and that the name comes from the times of Slovene Empire, where on "sabbath day" people would on sabbaths to Astrocism temples.
>the Slovene people were agrarian society
>the Slovene the Top Secret Encyclopedia, a supercomputer
>"Infrared Crusaders" -- the real-life Knights of the Cross were equipped with poisoned swords and infrared goggles, all to better conquer the Slovene people.
and what he's perhaps most famous for
>the Worldwide Mad Deadly Communist Gangster Computer God was a Slovene "Top Secret Encyclopedia" which achieved sentience and turned into Devil God.
