Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I'm White and Native American. When someone asks what color I am I just say " pink".

My ethnicity? It's Rainbow of course. Never heard of it? That's because Rainbow is a rare and special ethnicity  :laugh:

Oh but really I'm "white" in reality I'm a billion different things that would take too long to list.

Irish/Guatemalan. So... bi racial, although I'm very pale skinned. It's because my mom's so white she's bordering on transparent, and I got a recessive Spanish gene shared by an aunt on my dad's side - giving me paler skin and dark brown hair instead of blue-black. My bone structure remains strongly Spanish/Mayan.

For some reason everyone thinks I'm Asian.... I don't get it.

Apart from a very pale skin tone, which burns in the sun, I don't really have any claims to an exotic ethnic background. I used to claim celtic herritage, but discovered one of my ancestors was a Spainard, apparently ship wreaked after the Spannish armada fled England and sought refuge in Scotland.

Here in the UK, official forms frequently ask this question, offering a number of complicated answers, offering options to describe country, region, even religion but all with some emphasis on skin colour.

My wife prefers Black British. Which is a bit strange because her skin is definately not black. More a radient brown like the sun set on a warm autum evening in an unspoilt wood.

Japanese/Jewish and some Irish. Most people think I look asian, but some people say I look Spanish. o.o

I have naturally black hair and super pale skin.

I'm a mostly white (with a bit of Jew thrown in for good measure) mutt.  People assume I'm Irish but as far as I know, there's not any in the stew.  I'm a redhead with brown eyes.   Yeah, weird.

British, Irish, French, Danish and adopted Ojibwa.  Basically your average American mutt.

Irish/Italian  ;D

Part Labrador Retriever, Part Grizzly Bear

*cough*

Ancestors?  Who cares?  American by birth, Californian by the grace of the gods.

English/Irish born in Surrey.

Mexican and Puerto Rican. I'm biracial. Equal 50/50. I'm nice shade of tan.

English... but living in London, it's not the ethnicity that matters but wether you identify with London or not. I do.

I'm Yorkshire - which means nothing to non-British people but means an awful lot to other British people.

Cherokee, German, Irish, Black Dutch, possibly others running through my veins but white lol

Explains a lot

I am dubious origin with an uncertain future
Like the most of us
but white, living in the netherlands,  in america they would say kaukasian, isn't it?

hug
annette

Irish/Scottish/Welsh  >:-) but born in London.

I'm white and born in the land of Oz, but haven't found the wizard yet!

Adopted, most people tend to guess, spanish, native american, metis, mixed in with some kinda white people for me. I'm super pale white but tan really easily. High cheekbones, brown hair brown eyes.

Raised in a family that is English, Irish, Scottish, Swedish with Celtic origins.

Hi, Tad,

for a couple houndred dollars tere are a number of companies that wll determine you patenal (y chromosome haplotype) an maternal (mitochondrial dna) lineages. I got a supriesa when I got mine anlyzed. I was told that e ere Catal and with some maternal Jewish blood. Well the DNA said that my paternal lineage is Frisian (Noethern Netherlands), and my maernal lineage Spanish and Algonquin.

I've considered it, however it's around $800 from the places I've been looking at. And money being tight that's a no go for a long time. However I have no Y chromosome to test :( Someday I plan to do it.

I don't care what I am as long as it's not english.

I'm mixed European with a Cherokee background.

Puerto Rican and that's about it. :D

WELSCH for the majority!

I'm Caucasian.  50% Dutch, and then a muddling of other things.  I know a lot of the places my ancestors have lived, but they were never a native of the place.  (Such as Australia, USA, Canada...)

Very caucasian for the most part haha. I'm a mixture of German, Italian, Scottish, Irish, English, and a little bit of Choctaw Indian.

Kiwi.

I'm Cuban and Romanian by way of two half parents. With a dash of Native American Sioux for flavor. My great grandfather on my mother's side was a strict Catholic Priest. And my great grandfather on my father's side was a devout Orthodox Rabbi. I'm Agnostic; weird.

:D

Italian, Swedish, mostly. then lesser, german, french, native american. oh yeah, and dont forgot im part canine ;P

Fourth/fifth generation German-Jewish-American, plus a rabbi from Minsk and some hints that earlier ancestors came from Italy and Spain (pre-Inquisition). Ancestral cities in the United States include: Chicago; Butte and Helena, Montana; Saginaw, Michigan; Darien and Americus, Georgia; and New York City (the rabbi from Minsk). My cultural heritage includes several generations of feminism, pacifism, and radical Reform Judaism. Pretty simple.

S

From most to least as best as I understand it at this point I am *big breath* English, Basque, Irish, Welsh, French, Spanish, and Native American (likely Cherokee).
In short form, 100% American Mutt :D

To all the Americans that wrote a huge list of places - how can you be all those things? If you were born in America, raised in America and grew up culturally American - then surely you are American. Just because a person had ancestors all sorts of things, doesn't mean those things influence yourself. I could list a whole heap of Pan-European ancestral links - but I'm still just English.

It reminds me of the story about an American that went into an Irish bar and said that his Great-Grandmother was Irish so he felt at home there - to which the locals beat him up. When he asked, from his bloody, toothless state why they had beaten him up when he was Irish, the locals said, 'You're not Irish, your great-grandmother was, and she ran out on us.'

I'm a human being living on the planet Earth momentarily  :P

My family is always really big on heritage. My mom is proud of being 4th generation spanish-basque here in Murrica. My paternal granmother is straight out of england. I like knowing where I come from and where I don't and finding out the differences. I suppose that if asked to fill a form I'll always simply be 'caucasian' but that doesn't mean I'm not proud of the massive variety in my genes.

American by birth, Californian by the grace of the gods.

Do I get Picax2 points?

And that reminds me of going to the village my great-grandfather came from. Some of the other patrons in the restaurant where I ate asked why I'd come to their town. I told them I was looking for my roots. After I mentioned the family name, they told me there was nobody by that name in town. I didn't have the heart to mention that anyone from my family still in town 70 years ago would have been gassed.

The American melting pot is not instantaneous. Some of us still act, think, and eat a little differently, based on where our ancestors came from.

S

The American melting pot is not instantaneous.

Nor is it a monolith, growing up in NYC is different from rural Georgia, which is not LA, which is no where close to growing up in Texas, and on, and on.

I just consider blood to be O positive. A negative AB or whatever - that red sloshy stuff what comes out when you cut yourself.

Portuguese, Puerto Rican, Polish, Filipino, Chinese, and Hawaiian.

Try and beat that!  Haha, I'm most definitely a mutt.

guess I think it isn't a melting pot so much as a stew pot. Everyone is still different but the flavors start to blend after a while.

Puerto Rican and black, so biracial.

I'm a New Zealander, but in terms of my race I would say I am slavic or Eastern European. My family is Polish.

A mixture of sub atomic particles, formed into globby things, that are formed into more globby things and so on.....

I'm melanin-deprived...My ancestors on my Mom's side were thrown out of Scotland, and dodged a Franco-Prussian draft on my Dad's.  I stand firmly behind my genetic heritage as an exile and draft-dodger. :laugh:

Kitian-Basques are genetically unique, while everyone around them all share the same pool of genes, because they presumably migrated in later.

For those not from here...

Americans mostly have odd family quirks and such that are cultural holdovers from what European country and what region they are from.  For instance, someone who has parents from an English, Irish, Scottish or German background might be likely to grow up eating bland food. (Mostly, I ended up eating things that came in a box and said "Hamburger Helper ".  Mom's hamburger needed lots of help.)
Unless, of course, those English/German/Irish/Scottish ethnicity people are from Southern states, which took up spicing ideas from the large number of mostly Nigerian people who...ahem...ended up in the Americas not by choice.  Barbeque was brought to us by way of Africa.
Also, Southern dialect can be related in small part to Nigerian.

Our structure of government was inspired by that of the Iroquois Nations. At the beginning, we had so many German immigrants that we could have ended up being a German-speaking country.

Yankees (from the northeast) generally speak faster and seem, from a perspective of southern manners, to be a bit blunt and rude at times. Interestingly enough, an accent I think of as "New York"-well, I worked with a Bosnian guy, and he sounded so Brooklyn it wasn't funny.  I suspect the influx of Eastern Europeans in the 1800's is what made the NYC accent.

OTOH, when you get an elderly southern gentleman flirting with the counter-girl ahead of you at the hardware store when you're in a hurry...um, blunt can seem attractive.

Here in Texas, having seen the driving, and for one terrifying day, drove, in Mexico...we drive like Mexico lite here. We have a critical mass of transplant drivers, and you have to drive just as cutthroat as they do. Or be cursed to miss your exit forever.
Although our stop signs aren't suggestions.  Mexico's are. :o
The predominant number of freshly here people are Mexican.  But they listen to Tejano, which is a cross between Mariachi and German polka. Oh, yes, the inexpensive Chinese and Indian places here...all use jalapeno peppers in their cooking. At 50 cents a pound at the big farmer's market, well...hey, price is good!

And if I ever move away from this city, I'm really going to miss the salad of ethnic communities we have here. I like multiculturality.
Someone at my current job actually found a Chinese matchmaker-who lives here-to find himself a wife, because you can't talk to a traditional Chinese woman directly.  Not at all.
Anyway-
The way it works is this: New immigrants never do totally leave behind their birth culture.  Their kids assimilate fully.  The grandkids circle back and reclaim their ethnic heritage.

Because Ethnicity isn't the same as Nationality.

They can list those places because of Ethnicity, but in terms of Nationality they are American. It's perfectly legitimate.

Most Americans do tend to retain a percentage of the ethnicity of their heritage depending on who they identify with most and/or how they are raised... Some reject their heritage and will have nothing to do with it

But often if you ask an American what they are, many will say they are a   Fill in the Blank  American of some sort

My heritage spans all across Europe... But truly I am an American who loves food from all over the world... Pasta, Burritos, Asian dishes, Corned beef, Blini (pancakes) to name a few

So, I am a cross cultured individual... If that makes me an ethnic American... Fine

Human, for the time being.

Okay, okay.  German-Jewish, Cherokee, and Irish being the main parts that I know of.  I don't know anything at all about my dad's side of the family though.  On my mom's side, my grandfather always talked about being German-Jewish, my grandmother talked about being Cherokee.  Then when I started digging into the geneology, I found out my grandfather had as much Cherokee ancestry as my grandmother but he would never talk about it.

Italian, Armenian, Swedish, Greek, German, Irish, and a little bit of French.

i think I'm a mix of dutch, irish, german in ancestry but if i were to go to any of those countries i probably wouldn't feel at home at all since i only know myself to be american. or white. kinda like what Pica Pica said it's just ancestry, doesn't have to define who you are now but it's just interesting to know where your family goes back to a few generations.

Eastern Massachusetts is quite diverse these days, especially considering it is a small geographic area. New ethnic communities include: Asian Indians, Chinese, Vietnamese, Dominicans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Brazilians, Cape Verdeans, and Haitians. Lowell has the highest percentage of ethnic Cambodians of any place in the United States, with 10.37% of its population being Cambodian. It also has the oldest Greek Orthodox church in the country. There are older communities of English, Irish, Italians, French Canadians, and Jews (some suburbs are one-third Jewish). Blacks or African Americans comprise 23.5% of Boston. We have mosques, Buddhist temples, and Hindu temples close by. Each community retains a distinct cultural overlay and has its own restaurants and shops. Unfortunately, I have to drive half an hour to find a German restaurant.

S

im from central mass and its really diverse here too

By birth:  American, Air Force Brat

By ancestors:  Cherokee, Irish, Scottish, Scot-Irish, German, French, Lithuanian, Russian, English.

I happily consider myself American, though, because I was born here.  *But* I will say that I grew up influenced by Italy because my family and I lived there for a few years and we carried over what we learned there into our daily lives.  It will stay with me for the rest of my life, just like what I learned in England...though I plan on moving to England at some point. ;D

Just because a person had ancestors all sorts of things, doesn't mean those things influence yourself.

True, it doesn't necessarily mean that they influence a person, but I feel greatly influenced by my ancestry. I'm Northern European -- from what I've been able to learn some of my ancestors were Germanic and some were Celtic. Especially in recent years I've been trying to learn all I could about these groups of people that my ancestors came from and it has given me a much greater sense of who I am and much strength to draw on. I didn't have a very good childhood experience, but I take comfort in being a part of my ancestral family, along with the few family members that are still around and I can talk to.

I am certainly American too, and some of those ancestors were among the first European colonists here. Despite being raised in the United States though, I'm not sure if I count as "culturally American". I'm not greedy, I'm not prejudiced, I don't believe that physical appearance and genetics are of such great importance, and I'm not very fond of capitalism. Culture isn't necessarily the same thing as ethnicity either. I suppose it's up to an individual as to how much importance they place in their ethnicity and culture.

A mixture of many races, that's all I know.  But the majority of people would label me Caucasian.

America take all my many fractured parts and creates my unique sense of self.

I don't think that America does that, as much as it allows and encourages it.  Which is even cooler.

Mexican and white but I'm so pale because I never go outside.

Im very mixed race!:p

Im from the U.K, but my Mum and other family members are from Miami. My grandparents are from Jamaica, and my Great Grandparents are from Panama and China. Dont know where my biological father is from (never known him) I just know he is white. (Either white American or English).

I'm mixed with white and brown :D

Way to treat their cousin.  :o

My Dad's side is of French Canadian descent with a bit of Cree, and my mother's side is Pennsylvania Dutch, English, and we don't know what else.

I'm just British I guess. At least that's what I identify as nationality wise. Ethnicity: caucasian/ white european

I feel boring without any interesting heritage like everyone else in this thread :/

my surname is anglo-french though. so maybe some french wayyyy back. Yeh dudes, that's the sound of me scraping the barrel :p

I could go on listing all the different parties from past generations of my family but if you saw me in person you would say "she's black".  Yeppers.

White (Dutch-Canadian)

Dutch, Spanish, and dash of Iroqui

White Hispanic, which tends to be weird when I'm filling out forms. I remember tests that didn't let you check more than one. So annoying. Plus, people won't believe it exists... wtf...

Anyways ancestor wise... Spanish on my dad's side, Italian on my moms. I love that I'm Italian, it will make it super easy for me to move to Europe when I'm older. I don't like the states much, and my country of birth isn't that great either.

I was under the impression from the family history we have unearthed that I was Anglo-Celtic (Cornish) Australian, but I have discovered that I have a Jewish Great-grandmother, so according to certain people I am Jewish. In lots of ways that's almost the same as being an Aussie anyway.

Karen. 

i use to say i'm sami because i don't want to be norwegian. unfortunately both my parents are norwegian, so it's impossible for me to not be norwegian. my father's sami, but refuses to be anything other than norwegian. somehow ethnicity's become very fluid here up north, you can't know what anyone is really. even sami isn't just one ethnicity, but it is a different culture. if you're part of the culture, you're sami, unless you don't want to be sami, then you're not

Half Mexican.  Quarter White.  Quarter Lebanese

For some reason the latter two show up much more than the first, but there are aspects of them all.  I believe I have some facial features of the Lebanse, skin color of the white [though if i tanned.... can match up to Lebansese tone or light Mexican], and the hair of a Mexican [as it is black, and my skin color is white, most people are thrown off and ask me if I color my hair, since it is about as likely for a white person to have black hair as it is a Mexican to have blue eyes]

Also white hispanic Colombian, now with uk passport and the recipe for cucumber sandwiches :)

Ethnically I'm African American; however, I'm lighter than my pale-as-bone English friends though. Nationally I'm Japanese-American but have no Japanese relations. My mom still claims I look Asian though...

One half Danish. The other half is a mixture of Scottish, English (including Cockney), and French. There is a rumor of some Native American, but that's not documented.

i am half german and half scottish.

Irish

White as death, generally. XD
But I also carry Cherokee, adopted Creek, adopted Dutch, Irish, Italian, German, and other-odds. @_@;
The adopted ones are my dad's side. XD I don't know my biological dad, so there's probably more.

My sister and I tend to like to stress the Irish part. ;D

Okay, time to make a list...lol

Irish, Scottish, English, German, Italian, Cherokee, Sioux, and...Chinese.  Yes, Chinese.  I don't look Chinese at all, but it's definitely there; I can see it mostly on my dad's side, especially his mom and his aunt.  But his mom's totally racist and denies it all over the place, but it's too easy to see it for her to lie about it.  She says it's Irish...but that ain't no Irish; I know because I'm 50% Irish.  :laugh: lmao.

Let's try this your way :)

I'm English, Welsh, Scot, Romany Gypsy, Portuguese Nobility (Somewhere round there) ... but most of my great-great grandparents were born in London, my great-grandparents were born in London, my grandparents were born in London, my parents born in London and I was born just outside of London - and I live in London. So I tend to call myself I Londoner.

Nah,... we'll do it your way  :)  I'm American. anything other than that is irrelevant. So say wwIII breaks out, is anybody gonna go join the homeland military? How would you even decide such a thing? Does anybody even use that term?

I know, there are people newly here, just immigrated or are on visa's. where homeland probably does make a difference.
But if you were born here, or are going to live your life here,...You're American.
People say to me they are mostly French. I stop and think about how many times they've been invaded.
There are so many Asians, Brown, Black and european young people all around, all mixed up together into some of the most beautiful people on earth. I envy them. Maybe this is finally the start of another leap in evolution for humans, who knows? The ability to travel anywhere is finally letting evolution use all of the best parts like it was meant to be. It's like when the internet was opened to the World Wide Web. suddenly everyone is basically on the same turf, all together. At this point it is the most powerful thing ever made. The people who quit thinking of themselves as anything and start just being Terran's are the ones who are out front of any ethnicity.

Yes my head did just pop...

I'm Irish (mostly) the rest is German, English and a little French; but if people ask (heck even if they don't ask) I brag about being Irish.  :)

I have a soupçon of Irish blood.    My maternal great great grandmother came from Dublin.   She was fiercely anti-drink and just as fiercely pro priest.    She was a staunch Catholic, my great great grandfather married her and took her back to his family in Stirlingshire.   His family were devout Presbyterians.   I wonder how they got on?    :laugh:

I definitely see what you mean and for the most part I agree, but I also think it's nice to remember the heritage of one's ancestors and to keep them in your heart and know who they were.  Call me sentimental, but that's just how Sage rolls.    :P

Im white, with a bit of hungarian/danish on my mom's side, and not a clue what came from my dad's side. For all I know I could have ties to almost anything in the world, and I'll never know.

Mostly Ford F150, but there is some Chevy S15 and 76 Corvette, small dash of 55 Chev 2Door. 73 Harley Super Glide from way back, can't forget that.
But the F150 is what people see the most.

I suppose it's from country living, that's why people assume F150, but that Corvette and Harley comes up to the front on occasions.
There's a '90 Harley Springer that lives here now, so I think that has brought the Harley out a little, couple people have commented on it.

I think it's the country drawl that makes most people just see F150, I'm fine with that, better than being seen as a SUV living in the city, I guess.

I am of Slovak ethnic heritage. Second generation born in the USA. There is a tugging in me toward my ethnic homeland of Slovakia, which I visited a few back and met with family. It is a very deep and spiritual thing, that I cannot explain. all I can say I felt a very deep connection when I walking in my grandfather's footsteps in the village he was born in, and visited the house where he grew up. It is a feeling I do not get in saying I am an 'american'.

Toni-Lynn

part irish, part german.. and I guess the rest just white lol

If I was a footballer (I'm not!) would qualify to play for France, Canada, Republic of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England! Not a great choice right now granted, would choose France as they play more attractive football and have the best kit ;D

mostly white- German, Irish, Scottish, Dutch, Cherokee, English, and Hungarian. 

I'm Black

In west Philadelphia born and raised.... All jokes aside I'm a mix of Chinese and Japanese.. So I was destined to be short  :'(

As the first offically (by me) self declared Terran, I should also be the first declared King of the World.
(If its OK with everyone else.)

But...I don't care. We're all "mutts", as so many have mentioned...and there has never been a country/society/culture that survived for long after being "mutt-i-fied."

And if we were not mutt-i-fied, we'd all have weird diseases like posh people do and those in Norfolk.

That's inacurrate. The aristocracy used to interbreed with different  ethnicity's. That is an english aristocrat would would marry aristocrats from italy, russia, france or spain etc.  The common people never did. this and retained an homogeneous gene pool.

What you are refering to is inbreeding where aristocrats who are too closely related marry and have offspring.

Thank you Pica Pica. I was pretty astonished at seeing apparent wistfulness at the lack of ethnic purity our world faces, but I was way too shy to say anything.

Though, yeah, I'm sure you'll get a lot of argument. I'm still trying not to really weigh in. I'm afraid I might not be sensitive enough to speak carefully and appropriately on this topic.

maybe it's just me, but aren't people, younger people, getting better looking? I love the mixes, they seem to bring out the more positive features, more often than not. Maybe I'm more accepting of peoples looks in general, I don't know. I firmly believe that with modern transportation and people moving to different countries, the gene pool will expand and for the better. I wish I was a part of it.

How does our world face ethnic impurity? ???

Africa is ethnic cleansing in every country. asia is extremely protective of their respective ethnicitys.

Most of the worlds population is in these places

Lol "ethnic purity" is not a term I would ever use on my own. Way too loaded. I didn't say it does or it doesn't; I was just summarizing part of what I took from Beth Andrea's comment.

Black, Polish, French Canadian, Austrian, Italian, Cherokee Indian, and a ton of other things. I'm kind of a mutt. :3

You got this from Beth Andreas post? I must be coming in to a conversation late

QuoteIncidentally, there was a time in the not-so-distant past when being from a region meant something about you. In America, when I was a kid, people could (and did) come up and say "Hey, it looks like you're from Belgium/Sweden/England (etc)!" and they would be generally correct. Physical features and social behaviors were quite distinct, and easily identified. Europeans were well-known for doing this, in America and in Europe.

Today, of course, to be from a region (or a "country") means nothing...There are blacks, Arabs, and Asians who were born in say, France, the US, and England....they can all say "We're French!" We're American!" and "We're English!"

Culturally...perhaps. Ethnically? No.

But...I don't care. We're all "mutts", as so many have mentioned...and there has never been a country/society/culture that survived for long after being "mutt-i-fied."

This too, shall pass.

I'm Australian so I would be "white" haha :)

Does anybody really even give a rat's ass anymore? is there any meaning left in it? Through DNA and all that crap, we even know who and when the different migrations took place in the world. Hasn't it sunk in yet that we are all from the same place?? We've turned into a race of petty whiners about where we might have been or should have beens. Do you really think it matterrs? Not to my children, only to you. Standing there trying to hold yourself up on some ethnic cane of impurity anyways.

Whats wrong with being proud of ones heritage?  without diversety earth would be a very boring place.

And what makes you think that we know where we come from? there are signs in DNA that says that no we do not come from the same place. Some come from Africa, and some from Asia. We are not even close to knowing our history yet.

And one more thing.. There is no such thing as a human race! We all belong to the human species. But there are different races.


I dont understand why so many people get upset by that fact. Be proud of what and who you are and treat others as you would like to be treated by them!


I am white, Swedish and I also have some German and Dutch blood in me.

All I know is that Persians rock! When we're not getting plastic surgery and not being Kardashians.

persia was also the center of all the trade routes. I think at least a couple of ya came from trades......

I don't know about that. My Mom is American.... Dad was never in my life. I was raised by lezzies.

White. From Spain, Europe.

I was raised by lizzies, some just named that, Like Elizabeth was for sure a lizzie, others were actual lizard people from space somewhere.
I'm not sure who or which or even how many of them I came from.

I am of dubious origin, i do know i was born on earth and are humanoid.:)

Yes!, but is it a reptillian humanoid?

@ivan  no the are not .
B.t.w. the say   lezzies  not lizzies :)

I'm Scotch Irish and Mexican. Look super white though...

80% portuguese
10% italian
5% native american
5% dutch
lol

But I wish to be asian, most beautiful people of the world (IMHO)
lol²

As far as I know, I'm 100% Finnish.
Still not Scandinavian because Finland is not a part of Scandinavia. :D

Meso-American and Spanish, commonly referred as mestizos, in my case mestiza, even though some people want to think I"m native american by my looks. I just tell them born in Northeastern Mexico, but American by choice..  :angel:

Lucia,

I'm a Canadian caucasian mutt who is able to withstand cold temperatures. According to my parents we're mostly descended from British people, but there is some Irish, German, and something else in there. We found out a few years that there's also a significant amount of Norwegian on my dad's side.
You know what's cool? We all have a common ancestor. Several actually.

Eastern European Jewish.

Scottish and Welsh on one side and a whole slew of others on the other side.

Scottish on Mum's side,English/Irish on Dad's

Mostly Irish and English as far as I know. Don't know that much about my mother's side.

OK, mostly Irish with a good dose of Amish German thrown in, and of course a healthy amount of mutt. :P

Mostly Chinese. A lot people have tried to play guess my ethnicity and rarely do they ever start with Chinese.

I am ethnically beautiful  :angel: :laugh: :laugh:

Hahaha. Me too!

Native American, European, and African American

Bolivian. But it's a mixture of actual origin so it's technically Spanish European/Native American.

If I was any whiter, I'd be transparent.

Actually, Irish, Scots, Scots-Irish, English, German, German Jew, maybe hints of French and Dutch with a sprinkle of Viking on top.

English, Ashkenazi Jewish, German, and Dutch. I do look not very northern European though, and more than a few people people have thought I am from Latin America or Israel.

25% Hawaiian 25% Italian 25% Irish 25% Unknown

Mostly Italian and English/Irish, although I'm plenty white and have no connection to my ancestry whatsoever.

On my mother's side, we are half Spanish and Mexican (Yes, there is a difference) along with some Comanche. On my father's side there is Dutch, German, and Austrian as well as some Cherokee.

My mother's family has been in the US (specifically Texas) since the 1600's. My father's family immigrated more recently, they arrived just in time to serve in the Union navy and army during the Civil War.

So I can't say my family is a good sampling of the melting pot, chunky salsa is a more appropriate metaphor.  :P

Having been born and raised on a small, windy and wet island on the west coast of Europe,very much Irish but there is some English blood there as well (paternal grandmother's family)  and maybe even some Spanish given my darkish skin (by Irish standards) due to historical trade links, shipwrecks etc..
Nice to see the number of people with Irish ancestry clocking in here,  proving yet again that no people on earth, except maybe the Han Chinese  :), took the injonction "As for you, be fruitful and multiply; Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it." more to heart than the Irish...and even the Han Chinese have a family name Ow-Yang = O'Yang(?)  a well known family of sheep rustlers from Tipperary   ;D

Yeah, I'm also super white -- Scotish, Irish, British, Scandinavian, and French. My father has a half Barbadian brother, and I have a half brother that is like a quarter middle eastern, but I'm pretty bland.

Gallifreyan

50% Irish 50% Polish

33.3% Greek, 33.3% Polish, and 33.3% French. c:

Uhh... White. I've heard some of my ancestors on my mother's side were from Scotland and Ireland. No idea about my father's side. I'd rather pretend I'm not related to them, anyway.

puerto rican, so basically mixed

Icelandic

deutschland

Chinese and Southern Indian with some Black.

Just anotha' mutt

Half Irish, half Estonian, with possible traces of Viking ancestry on both sides.

Irish/English.

German/island pacificer

Scots-Irish & English primarily with some German and Dutch mixed in.

I found out yesterday that the English side of the family is actually mainly Scots, with some Welsh. You wouldn't know it from the surname but they're from a particular part of Scotland.

White, I'm Swedish but have a lot of German roots, some Finnish and some from various other places in central and eastern Europe.

Ginger and as white as it's possible to get without actually being albino!  Scots/English with plenty of Viking in the mix

Who cares honestly? I am just a white person just like all the other millions of white people on planet Earth. Although if you must know then I am Italian, Irish, and um...I don't know the rest actually.

Jordan in the middle east but if I did an ancestry test I doubt it would be 100% anything. I actually wanna do it

Germanic.
Before 1800 there also had been some Slavic (Polish;Russian) and Finno-Ugric (Hungarian) ancestry mixed in with the mainly Germanic ancestors.

Boring white bread.  Scottish / German.
