One thing that is common in the US is talking about heritage. A lot of people will say they are German, because their family came from Germany to the US some time in the past 200+ years.I learned that supposedly pre WW2, German was the second most popular language in America. It was only because people didn't want to be associated with Germany during the war that the language fell out of style.
But I feel like that probably doesn't happen in Europe.
