I had no idea there were so many Croatian immigrants. Was that shorthand for southern slavs?

Very cool. Reminds me of the stuff in the Statistical Atlas of the US Census from a few years earlier.
On the thing BP mentions, what I find odd is that 'Croatians' are counted separately to 'Dalmatians'...

I've tried organizing the categories for anyone who couldn't look:
NOTE: There are other groups in those groups, but only ones listed on the map are shown.
Teutonic (aka Germanic):
German
Scandinavian (Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, etc.)
English
Dutch
Finnish (yes, they're not Germanic but it shows up in Wisconsin & Michigan...)
Celtic (or as the airhead who made this calls it- Keltic):
Irish (possibly includes other Celts)
North Italian (hmm?)
French
Slavic (nothing wrong here):
Polish
Croatian (maybe includes other South Slavs?)
Hebrew (again, I know it doesn't go here)
Bohemian (Czech)
Lithuanian
Iberic (aka Mediterranean):
South Italian
Syrian
Spanish
Portuguese
Greek
Mongolic (Asian):
Chinese
Japanese
Other:
Magyar (Hungarian)
Black
Cuban
Also, why are North Italians Celtic while South Italians Med.?

The Po Valley was inhabited by Celts before it became Latinised. I think he took that factoid and exaggerated it just a leetle.
I remember one map from the 19th century which attempted to create or reflect a racial theory at the time and classed the Japanese as Malays.
The turn of the century was a period of huge emigration from these parts. Tens of thousands had left for foreign shores due to political/cultural repression and failures of some important crops like grapes.
Between 1880 and 1910 some 600 000 people emigrated to north America and another 300 000 elsewhere beyond Europe.
