This is interesting Volks. Thank you for the translation.
I can't speak for the American South as I haven't traveled through it since I became aware of and somewhat learned about Europid subtypes. Perhaps Nordhammer has some insights there.
I can however, as a native New Englander, comment of what I see here in the northeastern US.
The old stock 'Anglo-Saxon' population of New England is, in the urban areas, by and large gone. They dissapated across the continent in the great westward migrations once the lands here had been thoroughly 'agriculturalized'. Primogeniture played a large roll in this westward migration as the first born son would inherit the farm and all others were in many ways left to fend for themselves. So, if indeed the original English settlers were more fair in pigmenataion than their descendents today left in New England, some of this may be chalked up to migration westward.
Since the colonial days, many other groups have settled in New England--particularly in the urban areas where textile mills were a booming business. There are Portuguese enclaves in southern Massachusetts, Italian communities in and around Boston and many Italians in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Also, the French Canadians began coming here in the mid-1800s to work as loggers in the forests and laborers in the textile mills. In my experience, most French Canadian folk here in New England are either Alpines or Atlanto-Meds and they have certainly left an imprint on the local phenotypes. The French Canadian element is particularly strong in Maine.
I did not however, grow up in an urban setting--far from it actually! I remember as a kid taking field trips to Boston or Salem, MA and even then, I was aware of a darker populace than where I was (am still) from. In the rural areas of northern New England, lighter types are far more common and they are the last remnants of the old 'Anglo-Saxon' stock. I don't mean to say that they are of the subtype that Coon used, the Anglo-Saxon--but they approximate it in a New World way. The same is true for the rural areas of upstate New York, far from the glow of NYC, where the Dutch, English and some Germans made their homes. They are still there and more Nordid phenotypes are very common amongst them.
We of old stock are a dying lot and it makes me sad. I feel as if I am one of the last....
