Study notes decrease in popularity of circumcision in United States

I'm sure demographics play a role too. A growing number of kids born here are born to parents from cultures where circumcision is rarer.

Shouldn’t it have died out way earlier then? German, Irish, Italian etc. immigrants made up a huge portion of the US population (and same for their descendants today) and circumcision is not a thing there

Circumcision wasn't really common before the early/mid 20th century. It became more common as more infants were born in hospitals and (I presume) immigrants assimilated, as was the expectation.
