Fine, you want to turn into a competition, then let me challenge you on it:
America would not be what it is and how it came about without Germans implementing their culture significantly.

There's no doubt Germans who immigrated did indeed contribute. That's not in dispute.
It's what the Germans did who stayed in Germany, and how they acted, and evolved, that is the issue for me.
The Germans who left were the ones who felt they had nothing to lose by risking everything to come to the US, so we got the best, the brightest, the most fearless. Those who were not so inclined stayed where they were.
See?
