ethnicity

Lol, I'm a fucked up combo.

1/8 native american (On both sides of family) a nd very strong Scottish(Last name is a Scottish name) on both sides also.

 

im greek. so i guess you could say i'm white but then again i'm quite tan

 

i dont know what i am
i guess im classified under latina

Mexican
Italian

 

yet another beaner here

 

hahaha ^

 

Yup, another thread raised from the dead. Well, I'll chime in too. I'm white as they come. So white I reflect the sun. Welsh Irish.

 

i'm white and don't know much of my ethnicity. i do believe my great-great-grandmother was 100% native american (cherokee?) which would make me 1/16th cherokee. - even tho i probably have no cherokee genes in me.
when i ask my family, my dad would also mention french canadian (as well as the native american thing) and my mom would say succotash, which is the nice way of saying "mutt." so that's really what i am.

i wanted to point out that it is usually a genetic advantage to be "inter-racial." this way you are less likely to express recessive traits, which are most often the bad ones. to put it more simply, think about how it's bad to have children with your relatives. that's b/c you would increase the chances of passing on a recessive trait and make a retard baby (excuse the terminology)...therefore being inter-racial is getting further away from that, and you are likely to pick up a good copy of most genes; and be healthy.

wowo

 

my dad is spanish...but i don't really know how much spanish i have in me
the hair on my arms is blonde
pretty funny combination

 

I'm 50% Irish and 50% German, So I'm pretty white lol.

 

haha McKraut

 

i posted in this thread when it was new and i'm pretty much all european but scandanavian, span/portugal, russia, italy and like all east europe.. so really like only western and central european & native american

i'm proud to be what i am i don't think i'd ever want to be anything else

 

they say i'm caucasian, but i've never been to the caucasus mountains and dont know of ANY ancestors who have...

so if i'm asked, i just say i'm a white american.

despite my olive complexion, i'm primarily scottish and german

 

To quote Frank Zappa... "I'm not black but there are lots of times I wish I could say I'm not white".

The fact that we have to tread so lightly on issues of ethnicity speak of how far we still have to go if we're to achieve real social justice which in its truest form exists not in legislation and social censorship but exists in the minds of everyone.

 

im green... No seriously im sick

 

Its weird to read a tread I made when I first joined.

 

i agree. i get a kick out of looking at my really old posts.

French and German, for the most part. We call ourselves cajun.
So white.

 

i am primarily irish german. and on my fathers side, a fairly detailed history.
my paternal grandmother's mother (my great grandma) came to the US from ireland when she was about 12 years old. my paternal grandfather's mother (my great grandma Dolly) had the maiden name of lowell, as in
