In the 2020's, there are strong incentives to emphasize any ethnically diverse aspect of your background when filling out a government/institutional form. In the 1920's, there were even stronger incentives to suppress it. This isn't hard to see.
In 1920, you are more likely to get "No, really, we're just generic American Christians with better art" as the official statement and in 2020, you are more likely get "Yes, we are a proud immigrant family and we bring a unique cultural perspective to American society" as the official statement from someone with the same cultural background and voting patterns in both cases.
