However subtle they might be, there are plenty of cultural/political/social/physical differences between the ancestries and heritages of multi-generation Americans.

For one you have the Italian Americans. Most of them (not all) reside in the Northeast and industrialized areas of the Midwest. That means mid-sized and larger cities in Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania. And almost everywhere in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. They tend to be shorter than the average Caucasian male. They tend to have traditional (you could say "conservative") views on morality and the likes. They're the only political forces that prevent states like CT & NJ from voting almost 100% Democratic. Look at Staten Island, the whitest and most conservative borough of NYC. It's also the most Italian borough, by far.

You have the Scandinavian Americans. They reside mostly in rural/small-town areas of the upper Midwest. That's Minnesota, North Dakota and upper Wisconsin. They're politically split. They tend to be MUCH taller than average, a sharp contrast to the Italian American population. Very blonde.

And then there's the German Americans. They reside all over the US, but the highest concentration is in the Midwest and West as well as Pennsylvania/Upstate NY. They're harder to find in the South and New England. They tend to be fairly conservative, politically AND socially. Many of those lower-income farmers in the Plains States (Nebraska and South Dakota, especially) have German blood. They're generally taller than average, although they could go either way. Fairly light-skinned and light-haired.

You have Scots-Irish, who tend to be more conservative on average. They can be found throughout the Southern US (I'm an Arkansas native with heavy Scottish and Irish blood), as well as Northern New England (Maine especially). They vary in height and weight though.

The full-blooded Irish are very prevalent throughout the US. But the greatest concentration tends to be in the Northeast and Appalachian South. They're more liberal than their Scots-Irish counterparts, on average.

And then you have African-Americans (the greatest concentration of them is in the Deep South), French-Americans (commonplace in Louisiana and Northern New England), Russian Americans, Polish Americans (I believe they're very common in the Great Lakes states for whatever reason).

Heritage DOES matter to an *extent*, but I definitely agree with your point. I have never seen the need to judge someone by their bloodline. I don't care whether you're Ted Bundy's kin or a fucking Kennedy. Bloodline isn't everything. There are no absolutes.

Everyone is different to everyone. All races kill. All races get up in the morning and take a dump. All races do things. Some have certain traits, sure, but that a community thing. In this case it didn't need to be mentioned what race he was.

Normally I would agree but in this instance, his race was noted as we don't normally get to see death photos from North America.

Its really hard for me to believe he "drifted" over because californians don't give a fuck about driving. Obviously I'm a truck driver and I see cars ALL the time passing on the shoulder hauling ass, so fate got him. Also that lane splitting bullshit urrgh one day I'll be posting pics of me smashing a motorcyist.

This kind of thing happened to my uncle once he drives a semi truck and some drunk rear-ended him. He said the guy was cut in half with his bottom half still sitting in the seat and the rest of him was in the road! Great post!

I don't know, I'm not the one who made the post!

No I mean, you said the race should have been noted because it was from America. That's why I said American should have done surely? Sometimes I just feel people put the race of the victim in the title for the racists to know and come and have a gander. We're all sick a little for coming here, we all have our own reasons, but racism and enjoying seeing someone dead because of their race is one thing that sickens me. I'll stop going on now
