Yes indeed! Ethnic German immigrants from Russia were very successful in the northern plains, too, both in the U.S. and in Canada. Endless miles of wheat-lands.
I had one going from thread to thread frothing at the mouth and insisting that he was going to get me banned from free republic for exactly that.
It was after the story broke about the kids in some big reality television show broke. Several people were furious that I wasn’t concentrating my attention on the young male involved.
I could dredge the posts up, they got really nasty.

Not sorry she has to be guilty, my comment was to those that judge guilt by looks.
Or that all of them are a mix of African and Indian with only a few Europeans.

Good points. Even people who know about the wide variety of immigrants to the United States don’t realized that the same patterns occurred in Meso-America and South America, and in fact are continuing, just as they are here.
One of my Mexican friends is married to a man from Poland. He went from Poland to Mexico first (around 30 years ago). He courted my friend, who was then in her late teens, and promised he’d make a good life for them. Then he went to the United States, worked, and learned English. Then he went back to Mexico and married Lola, and they both moved to the U.S.
They have a daughter named Olga (Olenka) Podolska, who was born in Mexico.
