Most Americans are German

so why is German not the official language of the USA?

Because they're all midwestern hicks. Next.

Because the germans assimilated, unlike others.
And to say americans are german is plainly wrong, they wouldn't be as fat, obnoxious and inefficent if they were, the only thing they retained from their german heritage is the imperialism.

A large portion of the German immigrants came to the US around the time of the Civil War, when English was already established as the country's main language (it's still not the official language on a federal level).
Of course, one might argue that Mexican and Cuban immigrant families often speak no language other than Spanish (which a couple of states have adopted as a co-official language), but refer to the first sentence of >>3 for details.

most americans are mexicans now


Spanish should be the official language

Romance languages are the languages of the Americas.

so why is German not the official language of the USA?

Knowledge of a language is not passed on genetically.

Most? That's not true. Around 50 or 60 million Americans are of German descent. Most is a heavy over-exaggeration.

What OP meant was that Germans are the single largest heritage group.

Also, there's an official German version of the Declaration of Independence.

are you implying that germans aren't fat?

>>10
Of course all developed nations have their share of fat people, but 30% of all adults in the United States are obese and another 30% are overweight, while only 10% of Germans have a BMI over 30 with an increase up to 20 as they get older.

I don't trust European studies, they all play with numbers to make America look bad.

Perhaps because the US outweighs Germany's population at 309 million to 82 million. We have more obese or overweight people in America than Germany has people.

Is correct. I know several people in the UK and other European countries that testify to the fact that European studies try to fuck with us. I don't know what they're trying to accomplish, it's not like anyone in the US cares what some arrogant Frenchman has to say.
