I have German, French, English, Irish and Polish blood, if I'm not leaving one out. I just consider myself to be Canadian and leave it at that.

[Suiko Eiji]

100% Honkey-American. Ancestry is English, French, Scottish, Scoth-Irish, Swedish, German, and Canadian if we're talking the widest categories.

(BTW, Mel, I know some Japanese so can I be your faux-Asian?)

[GreatNekoKoneko]

[CeLL_288]

100% Honkey-American.Ditto. I'm part German, Swedish, English, Welsh, Scottish, French, probably Dutch, somewhere East European, and 1/62 Blackfoot Indian. Pure, homegrown American mutt.

[master terrence]

100% indian (not Native American, but susbcontinent asian)..... maybe slightly influenced by portugesse... but I can't be bothered to discover that... cause I think I'd still be 100% indian anyways.

[mecegirl]

It is amazing how many differnt ethnicitys fit into the "white" catergory. I mean looking at this thread I see people listing about 3, 4 or more ethnic back grounds and they would still be concidered "white" and not "mixed". But I guess since Europe isn't that big that there wont be that big of physical difference. Language is the only thing that really seems to separate Europe. At any rate I am black or African American or what ever we call ouselves now.

[Perperikon010]

On topic: Isn't it enough that we get delineated into a specific ethnic category in census polls and such, not to mention out in society, but we have to do it online as well? The "Which Anime is your avatar" thread can tell you more about the person...

I don't think that its necessarily that more groups fit into "White" than "Black"; I think why it is portrayed that way, in the US especially, is that our heritage is/has been documented extensively. Looking at my own family, we have property records of those that came to the American colonies in the 1700s and immigration paperwork from my family that came in the 1800s in addition to oral histories and theories. While language is the primary identifier of differences in Europe, there are subtle cultural differences between the various nations of Europe.

Unfortunately, similar documentation doesn't exist for many blacks in the US, especially if your family's history in the country predates 1863. Many African traditions are all oral, I wonder if they even think to really chronicle inter-group/inter-tribal relations? Afterall, I keep hearing that one of the primary reasons for so much poverty on the continent is due to the constant warfare between tribes and differing groups. Many American blacks, for all we know, could be just as mixed as 'white folk', having blood-bonds coming from numerous African tribes from all over the continent.

What's not important is to completely define ourselves on our racial bounds - I personally think geneology is pretty interesting as some sort of a hobby - but what really defines us are the cultures and subcultures that we adopt and adopted into. After all, I may be able to trace back to a common ancestry with someone in Germany (I know my dad's aunt has visited that branch) but the socio-political-economic cultural factors that define me as a person make me about as different as night and day from many contemporary Germans.

[Soluzar]

Suiko's got a good point. For example, Mecegirl, which one of the many nations in Africa does your family trace their heritage back to? There are as many different kinds of African-American as there are Caucasian-American.

[Fobb]

If you two look at it like that, then there is no such thing as 100% anything, because everyone can trace origins back pretty far.

[Suiko Eiji]

Suiko's got a good point. For example, Mecegirl, which one of the many nations in Africa does your family trace their heritage back to? There are as many different kinds of African-American as there are Caucasian-American.

That's part of the problem with tracing black American heritages; I believe many's ancestors were brought over during the slave trade. Talking about "life in the old country" and many tribal traditions either adapted to new forms (Voodoo in the Carribbean or Gospel in the SE US) or died out entirely; thus a critical problem with the oral traditions. When slaves were brought to the US, bills of landing or receipts most likely only contained the number of units that were brought over, and I would imagine many larger boats brought slaves from various tribes from any number of places between the Gold and Ivory Coasts and the Cape of Good Hope. Lineages would have been confused right when the boats landed here. Not to mention, numerous slave families were split perminently, either by sale, theft, or escape, etc. This could cause relations like half-siblings only to have similar tribal relations via the shared parent at worst.

When someone ask me my race.. obviously I'd like to answer Dinosourus

but I don't think Dinosourus is an option on most college applications so then

I have to be aware of my biologically determined existence which is better

determined by the majority of your parents which one can be aware of (what

I am aware they are)... so if

it is something you are not aware of- it doesn't exist to begin with... hope I

didn't lose you.

for example- Racism is the biological awareness of ones own race as superior.

If your not aware of it... it doesn't really exist. it's not like they can test your blood and say your indian or 1/4 italian right... you may just have similar DNA to those lving in a certain region.

[mecegirl]

Umm I don't know where in Africa that my family comes from becuse of the reasons listed by Suiko. And there are possibly more different mixes of African American than Caucasian American. I didn't say that more groups fit into white I said that it is amazing how many fit into white. Back in the day (ie medival and colonial times) if you concider how many cultural differnces that their are in Europe some would not want concider all of Eroupe to fit under the same ethinc classification. Epecially those from England or France or Spain. They kinda got a little snooty for a while. :P

[Professor Funk]

I am Italian/Irish, with a little german.

[Fobb]

Might take a while to figure it out, but I think I get the basic idea.

I thought they can't ask you for your ethnicity on college applications? When they asked me, there was a bubble with "I don't wanna answer that".

[kenshinbebop]

Caucasian-1/2 Italian, 1/4 Irish, 1/4 German(or polish, I forget).

My uncle was in the mafia. Haha, beat that. :D

It was only a rhetorical question anyway. It's your own business, even if you do know. I'm just saying how there are at least as many countries in Africa as in Europe.

Epecially those from England or France or Spain. They kinda got a little snooty for a while. :P
Yeah. Spain itself is divided into multiple ethnic groups. They pretty much hated each other for centuries, so they wouldn't want to be considered the same racial group.

[miko hanyou]

My uncle was in the mafia. Haha, beat that. :D

In my father side of the Ancestry, we take out hearts while the sacrifice is still alive.

[mecegirl]

I thought they can't ask you for your ethnicity on college applications? When they asked me, there was a bubble with "I don't wanna answer that".

I know that they don't do it for job apps any more. The whole equal oppertunity employer thing. For college they can for scholarships. Yay free money!!!

And Miko that should not be funny but it is. ^_^

[Japhyl]

I am mostly Dutch, and also part Italian and German.

[Fobb]

Well, anyways, apart from the whole "race is an illusion" I am proud of my heritage.

[predecessor]

i'm a white boy. ancestry is German, Scottish and possibly British and Norweigian. were not sure. theres also a small amount of polish somewhere in there. i mostly inherited the wardrop traits in looks so my looks are mostly Scottish. i might of inherited some other things from the german side my mom got from my grandmothers side. i have no clue whats on my fathers side since apparently he lied about the irish so i have no clue what to belive anymore

[SabakuKuniGaara]

Too true, not "them commies" ... not anymore, anyway.

Though, about the size of Europe, geographically, yeah, all of Europe is similar size to the US, but I think it's the scale that thows us off. I mean, within a drive time of probably close to three hours on the Autobahn I went from Berlin to Dresden; another 12km, I would have crossed into the Czech Republic. I drive three hours south from here, I'm barely to the Florida border. An ICE from Berlin to Paris is probably between 4-5 hours; it's about a 5 hour flight from Atlanta to LA, four hours to Las Vegas.

If every time I entered a new State here in the US I had to whip out a quick language guide or remember something I studied in High School to get around, I think Americans would have a bit better perspective on the actual size of Europe but since English is the primary language and it is one country the size of Europe, the scale is hard to comprehend at times.

So Joeshie, you're like a cattle driver wielding a whip... Hmm, didn't realize cowboys were considered an "ethnic group." Just joshin' with ya.... :P

Black, African-American, Afro... Nah... There's a miniscule amount of Native American blood on my father's side, but it still has some influence over certain physical traits. A lot of people assume that my mother is half-Native, but they're just a bunch of idiots that haven't been introduced to my good friends Mr. Punnett Square and Mde. 9th Grade Biology.

I have a lot of colourful cousins and grandparents and great aunts, so I'm sure there's other people in the Mix, but there's a good chance that's like from rape or somethin'... And Really, who wants a cousin "by rape"? Holy Deuce, is that my "high yellow" great grandmother in your Family Bible? And, Good Lord, she's listed as property... right under Old Scat the Mule... Gee, thanks for the last name and the abundance of terrestrial hair... :lol: Seriously, but I think that's like the deal with the majority of black Americans.

Well, it's a more friendly form. It's like a nickname form of the name, even though it's not shorter.


@ Suiko Eiji: Yeah, I can understand that. I watched Eurotrip last week though, and I didn't believe that Americans in general have such a vague knowledge of any geography other than America's, but I guess the way you explained, it is easy to get mixed up.

There is some truth to that, but there are many physical differences between Europeans, as Europe is mountainous and divided.

For example there is a very big difference between a Greek and a Scot!

I am a little mad becuse I am supposed to be going to France for a three month study abroad program. (That is I can go if I have the money ready by the due date) They used to have a whole week put aside were you could go Anywhere. And I mean anywhere (even other countries)as long as you did not leave Europe and came back in a week. They took that week out of the program last year because students wern't foucused enugh to continue classes after the break. I bet that they were drunk. I don't know what they expected. To get in the program you have to be in at least your third year and since some turn 21 during that year a party is all that they would look for anyway.

Umm, yes and supposedly if you knew Europe was diverse, you would know it was also a matter of ethnicity, culture, history, etc. and not just language that divides it.

[Samurai Drifter]

I think the largest ethnic group I come from is Italian.

One of my grandfathers was in the mafia. Not surprising considering he immigrated to America from Cicily in the 1920's. He claimed he was a house painter, but wore a suit to work every day. There are other family stories about his persuasion abilities.

Anyway, I'm white and American, but ancestry = mostly Italian.

A week isn't all that much time to travel. Europe may not be the biggest continent, but it's still big enough. If you were paying your own expenses and travelling by rail, you'd not get a chance to see all that much. It would have been a nice opportunity to have, though.

They took that week out of the program last year because students wern't foucused enugh to continue classes after the break. I bet that they were drunk.
I bet a lot of them spent that week in Amsterdam, partaking of the coffeeshops. No wonder they weren't so focused when they came back. :lol:

Can y'all stop whinin' 'bout all this White/European/Uncle Sam jazz? If it's diversified enough to have you listing three or more ancestries, let's just acknowledge the fact that it is diverse and leave it at that. Just look at us Asians, if you're Chinese, you're just... Chinese. Sad, innit? Unless you're Taiwanese, but that doesn't count since the Taiwanese aren't really Chinese in the first place. They were disowned by the oh-so-great-and-benign PRC. (If you didn't catch that, I was merely teasin'.) Though. if you're Japanese, you're just a plain 'ol slanted-eye. And if you're Indian...well, you're...brown.

God damnit. Asians and their simplicity. Damn it all to hell.

Why can't I be known as a "Chipanese" anyway? Wait, nevermind, that sounds awfully like a mix between Pekingese and Chihuahua. I sure as hell don't wanna be known as a sewer rat or a female dog... or even worse, a crossbreed; a "Chippa," no less. Oh my, the horrors.

Yeah. Spain itself is divided into multiple ethnic groups. They pretty much hated each other for centuries, so they wouldn't want to be considered the same racial group.

True, true. Us Basques don't blend with the Gallegans, that's a big no no.

Hahaha, I'm being mean again. Us mexicans like to make fun of Gallegans. A LOT. Actually a know a few Gallagan-mexicans, they are cool people with enviably tasty native dishes.

I physically look white. All my ancestry is european despite having mexican citizenship. I'm 1/2 Basque which is a small ethnic race in northern Spain that has nothing to do with the rest of the country, 1/4 Irish and the rest is Scottish and German.

[lucky4life]

Let's see...I know I'm a bit over half Irish. The rest of me is possibly a little Scottish and English. I usually just make it simple and say I'm Irish though...or maybe it would be more correct to say Irish-American? Yeah, let's got with that...

I think a few of you are going off topic...shouldn't you just be honest and just say that you are caucasian?? O_o since the question is asking for ethnnicity, not culture. If it was culture I would shut up...but it is not...it is ethnicity ><

Anywho, I am Latino-black (grand father was belizian)- Asian (great grandmother was japanese)

Ethnicity by definition is cultural not racial. Welsh, English, Scots and Irish all have diffrent ethnic porigins and languages despite being the same race. people from Eurasia and north Africa are technically Caucasion but no one is going to say an Arab or Morrocan is the same as a Norwegian.

Anywho, I am Latino-black (grand father was belizian)- Asian (great grandmother was japanese)


What is a Latino? I hate that term and Hispanic as I am not from Hispaniola because I descend from neither Dominicans or Hatians. Say your Belizean/Japanese and watch the puzzlement on peoples faces. I meet people who think Choctaw is in India and I must be a Hindu. :rolleyes:

[Midoriko87]

people from Eurasia and north Africa are technically Caucasion but no one is going to say an Arab or Morrocan is the same as a Norwegian.

I would hope not, seeing as how that archaic classification system (Negroid, Caucasoid, Mongoloid) is based on skull size and nothing more.

[Evil_Koala]

Wow, people still use the term Caucasian? >_> I thought that was like...someone from the Caucaus Mountains in Russia...

[Soluzar]

What better term is there? I mean, the proper term might be "white", but I don't really feel that term fits very well. White people are no more white than black people are black. Better terminology would be nice. I suppose I could call myself "off-white". That at least would be closer.

Well yeah, Indians called us the White man. I suppose we could be Anglos...But that sounds gay. And black people are black. My friend Hezron, he blends into the dark. He has real white teeth and eyes too. Geez. I'm sorry, I'm not politically correct. >_>

Hmm, is this really a ZING moment? Well, I'm in a good mood, so I'll give it to you anywayz... ZING!!!

Hmm, when I hear the word Caucasian, I think of the of the dreadfully vicious Caucasian Mountain Dog... which hails from the above-noted region. A deadly, deadly bastard of a dog whose feroricity rivals that of the savagely beautiful Perro de Presa Canario and/or Dogo Argentino.

Indeed you are not! :P

However, only some Black people are actually, literally black. I've met a few people who could be accurately described that way, but damn, there are people with a whole range of skin-tones who somehow fit into the category of "black". I think they deserve a better term, too.

As long as you're a citizen of the USA, there's always "African-American", but that excludes Carribean heritage. I'm sure that they are "African" if you go back far enough, but it's not entirely descriptive.

As for myself, I'm really more of a pale beige, than I am white, like most "white" folk. I ain't going to go around saying I'm beige though. That sounds horrible. :lol:

Don't worry any politically correct term that you could think of would be long and over complicated anyway. It is true there is a large range of colors for "black" people from "high yellow" to "blue black" Line us up we make a rainbow.

And yes Beige sounds horrible. Hey kinda off topic but has anyone ever used those Muticulural Crayola Crayons? LOL

When I said 'sounds gay' I mean it in the literal sense. Anglos sounds like...Some name of a street in San Francisco.

But then, they used to be black, so it became a tradition, and we used to be white so it also became a tradition. I'm tannish. My skin's white, my neck's red, and my collar's blue. :cool:

I had one of those color boxes once. It was...odd...But I always take off the wrappers so yeah.

[Bernard_Monsha]

No, that went out the door with phrenology. You can determine a caucasion by a bow in the femur that no other race has. Mongoloids are missing an muscle attachment scar in the eye socket. There are also some slight variations on Negroid skeletons and even Aboriginal skeletons that declare race. In fact they found a skeleton while doing road work in Jasper County north of here. They called in one of my friends who determined he was buried around 1880's and was upon examination an Asian. More than likely he was a Chinese rail worker who passed away while the tracks were being built and was buried on the side of the tracks. It looked like he mmet with an accedent as both legs had compound fractures.

Nope, I guess there's no comparison at all. It's still not the term I'd choose to represent my own ethnicity in a more accurate manner, though. In the ideal world of which I speak, nobody would dare refer to you as either of those things. I'm just trying to figure out what polite and respectful term fits the various ethnicities best. I've always disliked those two terms, and I'm sure that we as a society can do better.

but wouldn't you call someone from the bannana republic a bannana and not homer simpson. Like this one guy I used to work with, we nicknamed him bannana boat, he was dark as night. He's a good guy, his name is luceni(no, I didn't spell that right), but we felt bannana boat rolled of the tounge a bit better.

I'm a wrong person to answer, but that never stopped me before........
Asians brought up in the west sometimes called 'bananas' meaning they are yellow on the outside and white on the inside. East asians(subcontinent)people brought up in the west are called 'coconuts' for same reasons.

You realise that calling a black person "Banana Boat" is a horribly offensive racial slur? I just can't see how that would ever be acceptable. That seems very wrong to me, and I'm surprised that he accepted that without comment.

nope, had no understanding of the term at all... still don't... could you possibly help me out here? no idea where it originated from and no I wouldn't call someone else a bana boat.. infact I just considered it his exclusive nickname..

I figured you might not know, otherwise you wouldn't have used for a work colleague lilke that. As far as I know it come from the expression that someone "just came over on a banana boat", which means that they are an illegal immigrant who hid in a shipment of bananas to get to where ever they currently live.

[Midoriko87]

So... out of the frying pan into the fire, eh? Hmm, or maybe it's reversed or somethin'... The skull method, to my knowledge, was flawed because a title as heavy as "race" couldn't be decided on the shape or size of one's head alone. Or somethin' like that... maybe. Actually don't believe it had anything to do with the whole race-mixing thing. Although, I am curious... Wonder if darling Chelsea has the "Caucasian bow." So, would it at all be possible to move out of the skeletal system for a little bit? I'm thinkin' somethin' smaller... much smaller... like genes (another can of worms)... Or, maybe we could do the Geography thing... Or, we could get all super shallow and go super big... I'm talkin' skin colour and hair alone... maybe the occassional facial feature thrown in there for kicks.

Haha Yeah, the skeletal thing is fine by me. Hey, it makes things much easier for the forensic scientists... kinda... Although, "race" has some gravity. I think "breed" would be more suitable. "Yeah, are you a purebred and is your breed recognized by the AHSKC?"

[Gannon]

nope, had no understanding of the term at all... still don't... could you possibly help me out here? no idea where it originated from and no I wouldn't call someone else a bana boat.. infact I just considered it his exclusive nickname..

Yeah, this is usually where common sense comes into play, but apparently it doesn't always kick in.

Mexicans use the term Chicano as a slur against Mexican Americans, usually it is some drunk cholo using it who passes out after you beat him sensless.

My nationality is American. Ethnically I'm African-American, Black whatever you want to call it and Nicaraguan (Miskito).

I'm fully white mostly irish and scottish with possibly a hint of german. Hell I don't know it could be anything.

[HELLFISH88]

I'm White. As from What Part of europe I'm from I have No idea. I was Adopted so my origins are a little Fuzzy.

Did you know that America's favorite fruit is Bananas? The only imported fruit we have. Everything else is homegrown. O_o

Okay, so? First of all, I'm not American. Second of all, I don't care.

I was kiddin', by the way.

I don't mind being called a banana or yellow. It's all in good fun. Though, I'm tanner than most. You could say that I was "brown," and actually get away with it.

Soluzar shush, and tally me banana!

Day O, me say Day O
Daylight come and me wan' go home...

Apparently, it is a term used for persons of African descent (from the Caribbean)... And, you're probably right about the other part too... You look at these lyrics and tell me you're wrong:

A beautiful bunch of ripe banana!
(Daylight come and me want go home)
Hide the deadly black tarantula!
(Daylight come and me want go home)


I've only ever heard the term used by old black people indirectly addressing straight-up African blacks. I thought it was like a replacement for "monkey," but you learn something everyday, huh?

Says the man with the Confederate flag as his profile picture.

So bananas being America's favorite fruit, is that based on a national survey or the fact that bananas are imported?

It was in a book I read. National survey I think.

[Suiko Eiji]

:lol::lol: Nice pick-up line, there.

And it's the honest truth, too ;)

And, to sound intelligent on a closing note, I believe most anthropological schools of thought consider 'ethinicity' to be genetic and aesthetic appearences with family history while 'nationality' is in the modern geographic sense, and 'race' being completely influenced by culture.

[EmberAlchemist0]

My Dutch background is Pennsylvania Dutch. I forgot to add the "Pennsylvania" part. It's rather funny tho. One time I told a friend I was Pennsylvania Dutch and he said "What your ancestors are Amish?" I just laughed. :lol:

I'm a mutt American (meaning, a mix of several things). French, Italian, German, Polish, etc.

[Haro!]

I'm 3/4 Mexican and 1/4 Japanese. And an honorary korean.

[Lemina]

So you want to know my ethnicity. Well, even though I was born in the US, both of my parents are Mexican, so you can say that I'm a Hispanic/Latina. As far as race, I'd say I'm about 75% Spanish and 25% French. From my mom's side, her mother's side of the family comes from French ancestry while her father's side is Spaniard. From my dad's side, his mother's side is native Mexican indian while his father's side is Spanish too. So, I guess thats how I come to be what I am today. Techically speaking, my blood runs Mexican through and through since my parents are Mexican. All of my family is Mexican and most live in Mexico too. ^_^

I know what you mean. It happend to me too. In America at least it's just a leftover from segregation. The whole brown paper bag thing. But then again if you want to get technical in America it realy started when slave owners started to separate where slaves worked depending on their skin color. I.E. in the house or outside.

[Lady Lyra]

Caucasion... although I guess I'm half Blackfoot indian... *shrugs* My biological dad is supposed to be full blood Blackfoot but I don't know for sure.

Well yeah, Indians called us the White man. I suppose we could be Anglos...But that sounds gay. And black people are black. My friend Hezron, he blends into the dark. He has real white teeth and eyes too. Geez. I'm sorry, I'm not politically correct. >_>

Just call em white devils Hahaha.

Bernie, if you hate the term hispanic, what would you call latin-americans with native indian blood? Mesoamericans?

[sailornyanko]

Funny. Everytime (the few times I have) seen papayas sold in supermarkets when I visit the states, they sure don't look like they were grown there. They always look moldy. Unless it's grown poorly on purpose over there.

However, I strongly suggest you to never eat a papaya as the smell and taste can be easily compared to what a rotting dead body must taste like. *shudders*

I'm really surprised. When I saw your photo, mexican was probably the last thing I'd think. Course I don't look too mexican myself, though my teeny tiny height blends quite well with the rest of the chusma. Maybe your Spaniard origins are Catalan, they are light complexed.

Do you know which area your mexican relaties live in? Kinda curious.

Don't worry, your not the only one. Many people have always told me that I don't look Mexican, and some even thought I was Caucasian. I'm a natural red-blonde so looks can be deceiving, and I can understand everything that's being said to me in Spanish too. Yeah, my mother and her family are quite noticably white complected and my grandfather from my fathers side was really white too (I say that because he passed away before I was born). Don't be surprised to see more white complected people in Mexico because there are many in the North. Most of my relatives live in Coahuila, but I have some other relatives living spead out in Mexico towards the south with many of my closest cousins living in Nuevo Leon studing for their majors. Now that you mention Catalan ethnicity, I remember my mother telling me something about that long ago, though its hard to remember. When I look at myself and my family, I think we very much are Catalan. ^_^

Sailornyanko, I remember reading somewhere that your were an exchange student living in Mexico city or maybe just living there in general, I'm not too sure. Its nice to know how interested you've always been towards the Mexican culture. I think its wonderful you enjoy the country very much. I'm proud that I can call myself a Mexican even though I'm really a Mexican-American. I know I've always loved going to Mexico all the time. I'm really close to my relatives and we always end up missing each other.

[NGT]

Im half Greek. The rest is a mix of German, Italian, Astonian, and a little Spanish.

[sailornyanko]

I was born in the US, but I've lived over half my life in Mexico City (though I've only lived in the north-west part of the city, I personally like the southwest of the city a lot though none of my relatives live that far down).

I like this country very much despite all the weird/vulgar/WTF moments you can experience. Your view of things changes radically when you're walking downtown all normal and you see a huge parade of fat naked men with machetes and straw hats demanding.. uhh, what they demand isn't ever important, it's that they are parading everywhere butt naked blocking traffic and nobody seems to care. The funniest is when you see the tourist buses filled with europeans and americans taking photographs of the whole disturbing scene in complete awe. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I don't think these kinds of incidents happen in places like Japan. I don't ever remembeing seeing such things happen in the US.

I wished more people would appreciate their own culture. Like in Japan, a lot of mexicans like to copy everything american cuse it's cool to be hip and not because you just personally like specific things. However lately everything Argentinan has suddenly become hip here.

Of my mexican relatives live in the city relatively near where I live (I come from a very small family, most of my relatives are over 30 years old and have few kids if any. I even have a nephew who is one year older than me, and a cousin who's like 6 years old. I'm one of the youngin's of the bunch.). I have a few relatives that live in a small, cloudy city in the jungle in Orizaba, Veracruz though I only met them once and it was ages ago. I have a few non blood relatives in Acapulco who I never see. Most of my american relatives still live in my native Minnesotta.
I don't know much of the north of the country cuse my family doesn't care about travelling, I have no known relatives over there (though surprises could always happen, we found some lost relatives in the yellow pages searching for a vet and we found a vet who has our really unusual last name). Your relatives might be studying in Monterrey Nuevo Leon which is a major city with a lot of good universities. The Tec of Monterrey is still considered to be one of the best private universities to study medicine. Such a different world from how crummy the Tec of the State of Mexico is (my mom taught there for two years and says working there is like legal slavery). ¬¬

[Tiiba]

Do Hebrews count as Asians? Israel is in Asia. But I guess you would normally call me Caucasian. Although where I come from, Caucasians are NOT white (Georgia, Azerbaidjan...)

Do Hebrews count as Asians? Israel is in Asia.

Wouldn't you be a... Jew? ...

[sailornyanko]

Yeah, that would make more sense. I'll tell you this: Sepharadite Jews aren't white. Though I mostly know light complexed Ashkenazis.

[MIKE123]

Well I have a very wierd combination..Dad's Croatian and Mom's Japanese..but I was born in Canada so I guess I'm not exactly half and half...don't know why I don't have a Croatian name though..they are pretty cool..oh well I like Japanese better :P

Irish. With a little bit of accent. =D Mostly white though. I'm about 2 generatons from living in Ireland.

Yeah, it sprung up the nickname "Mexinese" in high school. I still use it as online handles to this day. I think it's got a pretty nice ring to it.

DUDE? Mexinese! That's awesome.

Mexican. Japanese.

Quite possibly the most interesting combination ever. I take great pride in being a freak.

Hmm, a couple interesting things here. I have a friend who is Cambodian/Mexican and he is practically Mexican in looks, manners and bilingual etc. You really can't tell he's even half.

My friends mom is Japanese/white (which I guess is now a country). She's been mistaken for being Mexican before even. She told us that at Taco Bell they asked her if she spoke English.

Haha, yeah.

Hahaha, what did you expect at a Taco Bell? That's not even remotely close to mexican food. Though I do like their cheddar cheese.

I'm so white, I rarely dance without alchohol. Or if I'm in my room, alone, listening to Moby's Natural Blues. ;)
