Germans in America are different from other Americans. We speak German, we eat German food, we celebrate Christmas on the 24th, and things like that. We're considered integrated based on race, not because we're more American in terms of culture.

When did Italian Americans and Greeks and the Irish and Poles start being viewed as white in America? And what does one have to do to be considered a white American?

I think it takes being replaced by a new immigrant group that people dislike more. Germans were discriminated against until there were more immigrants from other countries.

I know that happened with the Irish. They were hated when they came to America but then many of them started being racist to black folks and new immigrants from southern and Eastern Europe and after a while America was like "you're good."

It was the same for a lot of immigrants. The only ones that never had that problem were English.

When folks think of germans Integrating into America, they generally are referring to folks who immigrated in the 19th century

A lot of super far right neo-nazi parties base their entire platforms around the expulsion of the "dirty slavs." The same people also say Christianity is a farce invented by a brown Jew and true Nordic people worship Odin.

What I basically mean in a nutshell is "when do these groups join white america," because black Americans still aren't treated the same way or viewed as totally "American" by many folks despite being here for hundreds of years.

There's a question and a point your glossing over. The question is what culture are immigrants assimilating into? Someone from Boston, New York, Houston, New Orleans, and LA are part of radically different cultures within the broad spectrum that's called American culture. The point your glossing over is racism.
