There is very little red on the map, which is extremely unsurprising since I am not a native speaker, I have never lived in an English-speaking country, and I usually try to follow British English.

I like how the redder areas tend to have more Italian Americans.

I... don't think there's a particular correlation? Hawaii and San Jose are not exactly famous for Italian Americans, while places such as Buffalo, Cleveland and Chicago are in blue.
On the other hand, the Ohio/Mississippi rivers form a very visible demarcation, and I am not sure why.

It's almost certainly just a funny coincidence since most Italian Americans today don't speak any Italian. You can see that Minnesota and the Dakotas aren't super dark red on Astatine's map even though they have the most German Americans.

The stronger correlation in my map seems to be with coastal elitism lmao. I think I will try the British quiz later, by the way.
