i don’t know any white people under 50 in all three of those cities that aren't at least part german (that arent much more recent eastern european, especially in milwaukee (polish) or st. louis (bosnia/albania)). theres scots-irish boomers/silent generation in st. louis/cincy from appalachia/ozarks that typically have married into german-american families...so those regions have actually become more “german” in a way since people tend to identify more with that ancestry for whatever reason in the midwest. it’s historically a very middle-class segment in the german triangle so its also kind of a class identifier too.
