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.

meh

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.

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.
