Pennsylvania Dutch refers to the Amish, Mennonite, and those who also have a Pennsylvania dutch heritage, but may not be a part of the Amish or Mennonite community.
The Pennsylvania Dutch are a cultural group in Pennsylvania who are of German descent. They include various religious groups, such as the Amish and the Mennonites, but not all Pennsylvania Dutch people are Amish. The Amish are a specific religious group within the Pennsylvania Dutch community who follow a conservative and traditional lifestyle.
There are many Amish in Pennsylvania, but in other states and Canada as well. Pennsylvania is where they first settled as an invitation from William Penn.

yes
Well I'm from Pennsylvania and I know where I'm from we treat them like they're Gods. If your asking if the Amish are discriminated against the answer in Pennsylvania is absolutely NOT.
The Amish came from southern Germany and northern Switzerland and were persecuted in the 17th century. They settled in Pennsylvania, because William Penn, who was granted Pennsylvania by the king of England, wanted to establish a commonwealth with religious freedom. He urged the Amish to come to his land.
Amish people generally live in settlements far away from large towns, so that they might enjoy their simple lifestyle in peace. The highest concentration of Amish people is in Ohio, followed shortly by Pennsylvania and Indiana.
Amish people speak Pennsylvania German, but they are not called Pennsylvania German. Pennsylvania dutch are actually just any people of German descent who settled in Pennsylvania. When the Germans came to Pennsylvania, people thought they were saying "dutch" when they were actually saying "deutch" which means German.
