If you are confused about the relation between danish the pastry, and Danish the ethnicity, the answer is that Danish settlers to America made it popular in the States, which is why Americans call that sort of pastry, "danish".
A more etymological (sp?) reason for why Danish are called Danish in English, is because that's what the Germans call "danskere", too. English and German aren't all that foreign to each other, after all.
