What is a nappy called in US?

A diaper or a napkin.


What have ethnic groups contributed in the US?

One example might be Einstein, a German Jew by ethnicity. He was reportedly good at math and physics, and wrote some notes on a napkin we now call the theory of relativity. There's probably hundreds or thousands of similar individual examples from that era in Math, Science, Medicine, and beyond. More recently, many of the cancer researchers I work with (I'll guess ~ 50 % or so) in Boston, MA originated in countries other than the US. Would you call those "ethnic" (?). If the question is really focused on the "Group" rather than the individuals' contributions, the answer might shift focus somewhat toward art, literature & other cultural contributions. Examples - Opera from Italy, Celtic singing from Scotland, Yoga/Meditation from the Asia region, perhaps mostly India. Sorry I'm not better informed in this arena.


What does nappy headed mean?

"Nappy-headed" is a way of saying that your hair is all tangled up. It is the way that your hair would look if you just woke up from a nap. The term nap also has origins in yarn. If a yarn is frizzy, it is said to have a high nap, or is nappy. It is sometimes used to describe what happens when people with thick curly hair get matting. Because of this, the term is used as a racial defamatory. The term saw some negative media spotlight after being used by shock-jock radio host Don Imus, along with other negative terms, to describe a women's basketball team. Another possibility, although unlikely in the Don Imus case, is that nappy-headed could refer to the short form of 'napkin'. Napkin is the root word for the diminutive 'nappy', which is the British-English word for 'diaper'. Napkin is originally from the Middle French 'nappe', which goes back to Latin word 'mappa', meaning cloth. Diaper comes from the Middle Greek word 'diaspros' meaning pure white. In the same way the derogatory 'raghead' is in American usage for the Islamic 'burqa', 'hijab' or 'purdah' , the term 'nappy head' has been used to refer to the various forms of African head-dress, or head-tie known by many names, including 'shash' in Somalia.

It wasn't written on a train. That is just a myth. Abraham Lincoln actually spent days preparing his speech. He wanted to make sure it was perfect, so there was no way Abe could have writeen his speech on a napkin in a train. He might have practiced it on a train, though.
