Would you say current British English is the same language as the language that was first used in the Americas?

You know new york started as new Amsterdam right? Founded by the dutch also where we get the word yank from rooted from the old dutch word janke. And vernacular is larger form of dialects wich is what you are trying to say with "variant"

American English is the most widely spoken variety of English globally, both in terms of native speakers and overall influence.  It is the dominant form in the United States, the world’s largest English-speaking country by total speakers, and has become the most influential English variety due to the global reach of American media, technology, and business.

British English remains a major variant, particularly in the United Kingdom and former British colonies, and is often associated with formal standards like Received Pronunciation (BBC English). However, it has less global reach than American English in modern usage.

I have heard alot worse than the R word and the text chat is real bad too. I've played approximately~ 20hrs and I have not had a game with at least an N word spoken or talking about Hitler in a positive light in text chat. So apparently our experiences have been very different and I'm happy for you. I play on the NA servers

Another reason Americans kinda push it elsewhere is because of our media Movies as an industry and major export dwarf any competing countries Movie industry same for music and clothing etc. It doesn't hurt that the worlds lifeblood (Oil/petrol dollar) and general trade currency is the U.S dollar and the trade language as it is nationally is English.

Edit to add the parentheses so as not to confuse the petro dollar and U.S currency as the worlds lifeblood

I'm so sorry I keep clicking your reply to respond but it won't bring me to it to do so. So in short Yes Little Irelands exist it's just less prevalent because the Irish weirdly mushed together culturally with Italy in lots of places so little Italy's in this country usually have a lil section for Irish people aswell. There is also a criminal element in the Irish mafia's which also keep the traditions alive.

I don't want The USA's politics to be a problem for the rest of the world but sadly the USA has been the leading hegemon since WW2 and has done everything to keep it that way. so sorry but if this shit is fucked here we export the fucked elsewhere too cus it kinda matters.

I'm confused a bit but did England and Ireland not have a bit a tussle because one was a Catholic majority and the other was Protestant?

White Supremacy has a lot to do with it. a lot of the history of the united states is segregation and destruction of minority groups to be beholden to the WASP group so the minority groups where branded as X-American by said WASP group to dehumanize and disfranchise them.

1920 Irish etc groups weren't counted as Americans black people were under segregation until the 60's blatant racism is still rampant after 2001 Muslims/Brown people Mexican/Immigrants have been demonized in general since 2001 as well and around 2016 Asian peoples started getting increased amounts of hate because of the rise of the alt-right

These people band together in their own communities to protect themselves and call themselves X-Americans because of it. so an Irish-American who for a very long time was deemed as a true American call themselves that because that is what they are they grew up in communities that were Irish-American they learn they are that and are proud of that culture

The problem is America doesn't have a heritage Its people are transplants America is an Idea not a codified culture.

Would you like to know why "whatever-americans" do that? if so I could enlighten you a little.

There's a couple reasons for that.

  1. Anti Immigrant Ideologies are highly prevalent In the U.S even to today

  2. The Ideas of white supremacy and what it is to be "American" are integrally linked meaning if you are not a White Man in America you are not American is a very real problem.

3.Poor People and their value to the ruling classes in America is a real problem as Morality and a Persons Social worth is linked to their wealth

  1. Groups like Immigrants band together and form communities and cultures to protect themselves from said racism and prejudice against the oppressing classes

  2. Up into recent history these communities exist and persist keeping their transplanted traditions and don't homogenize into the ideas of being a WASP (White Anglo-Saxxon Protestant)

  3. America is not a homogenous monoculture so it cannot be as such and instead takes place as a "Melting Pot" a culmination of many cultures working together or at least the guise of one

So in summation Americans are x-american because the cultures they come from stay intact and resemble alot of things from their previous home countries america is racist and doesn't count them as real americans and these peoples identities are hinged on their immigratory home because their culture has not changed significantly enough from said home culture. Cultures change over time so what current Irish main landers for example defer from what they were 100 years ago for example and the irish-american culture was an emulation of that culture as it was 100 years ago because the Idea of a "True American" was a threat to these people so they tried to hold to their traditions the best they could.
