Of course we do, but no clear group of Italians, English, European,
etc. Most of the white people around here have ancestors who have been
here a long time.

Technically, my ancestors are Dutch, German, and Irish. But none of
them came from another country in the last 200 years, so I don't
consider myself anything but American. I'm sure there are people of
Italian decent, but I doubt many of them (at least in my area) have
actually been to Italy or know any close relatives from Italy. So,
they probably aren't cooking a lot of real Italian food, nor is there
a need for an Italian grocery store.
