'The proud descendant of German immigrants, who also happens to be NASCAR’s most popular star, spoke up about his heritage and President Trump’s ban on immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries.“My fam immigrated from Germany in [the] 1700s escaping religious persecution,” Dale Earnhardt Jr. tweeted over the weekend in a reply to @GelarBudidarma, who identifies himself as a Muslim “mostly from” Bandung, Indonesia. “America is created by immigrants.”Earnhardt, who has almost 2 million followers on the social media platform, has 13 times been voted his sport’s most popular driver and his feelings stem from a recent interest in genealogy. '
'Earnhardt, who began exploring how his family came to America and its roots here in 2012, proposed to his wife on a 2015 trip to Germany to research the family’s roots. '
' He proposed in a Lutheran church in which his ancestors, who pronounced and spelled Earnhardt with variations, had worshiped.“I’ve got some specific areas narrowed down I want to go see and some buildings I want to go see that I know my family was somewhat connected to,” Earnhardt told USA Today in 2015. “They left Germany in 1744, so all this stuff we’re going to see or get close to is more than 300 years old.”Earnhardt’s tweet about Trump’s ban generated a conversation of its own, with many replying to him directly.
