主题:美国WASP统治的衰落? -- 晨枫
actually in the early 19th century, since Germans were much poorer than Britons, they were looked down upon by some founding fathers for economic reasons. I found such comments when I read Ben's biography. Language is another factor.
BTW, many German Americans in PA were former Hessian mercenaries employed by the British empire. They were defeated by the continental army and many of them settled down in PA.
Of coure, flee from religious persecution is also an important reason as you mentioned here.
In Halifax museum (Canada), I also found negative comments from British governer against German immigrants in the 18th century. For them, the negative feeling was purely driven by economic reason.
