Austrian American Austrian Americans (German: Austroamerikaner) Austro-Amerikaner are European Americans of Austrian descent. According to the 2000 U.S. census, there were 735,128 Americans of full or partial Austrian descent, accounting for 0.3% of the population. The states with the largest Austrian American populations were New York (93,083), California (84,959), Pennsylvania (58,002) (most of them in the Lehigh Valley), Florida (54,214), New Jersey (45,154), and Ohio (27,017)_[2] This may be an undcrcount, as many German Americans have ancestors from AustTia, the Austrian Empire or the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Before World War I, by which time a large percentage of Germans had immigrated to the United States, Austrians were often categorized as German people, largely because of their shared cultural-linguistic and ethnic origin Fred Astaire • Arnold Schwarzenegger • Wolfgang Pauli and Austria being one of many historical German Hedy Lamarr • Maria von Trapp • Fritz Lang states of the Holy Roman Empire of the German

On the other hand, despite the rejection that Austrians feel about the behavior of the Germans, they regard themselves as more tolerant and cosmopolitan than the Germans, but have suffered the same damages and discrimination that German immigrants faced in United States, as they were being considered by Americans, to be the same, due to the Getman language.
