Nationality: Southern.

Citizenship: American.

haha. me too.

my dad's side is basically a mix of southern, mostly from north carolina, mostly franco-german, with some english, scots-irish, and supposedly cherokee, but i don't believe that. they've been here since it before the revolution. i keep meaning to get around to joining the DAR, for shits and giggles. but i've also noticed a lot of guys get a kick out of this too.

my mom's side is mostly german, with some irish and supposedly mohawk. they've been here for about 100 years, though, so american really. my grandpa's mother's family is a great curiousity to me. from what i can tell, they were fairly shady people, and i hope one day i can find out their real story. i'm pretty sure my greatgrandma at least was a prostitute in her younger days. she became a fervent catholic around age 40.

Half British / Half Spanish! My mother was full blooded Brit (I say "was" because she is deceased) my Grandmother & Grandfather on her side immigrated here from Southhampton, England. My Mother was born here however. My father immigrated as well.

My mom is Canadian (immigrated from Wales 3 generations ago) and my father American (grandpatents on that side from Jordan and somewhere slavic). I have the right to American citizenship but never exercised it since a Canadian passport is just as good.

I have no interest in Jordan Wales or anything Slavic. Not in the least.

My nationality is Filipina/Portuguese/Canadian/American. My mother is Filipina with 1/4 Portuguese from my great grandfather who was a Portuguese American citizen. He was a US soldier and met my great grandmother during WWII in The Philippines and they later made Filipino/Portuguese babies. http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif

My mother met my full Canadian father from Vancouver in The Philippines and they made me. Later on, she left him and we moved to The USA when I was 3, and I later became an American citizen. My first language was Filipino when I was a child... I didn't even start to speak fluent English until I started Kindergarten at the age of 6. :)

Filipino Pride!!! I love being filipina. We are good people, very friendly, festive, fun-loving, and extremely musical and artistic people... who love to share all of these traits with people from every nationality. ;D


As far as the Canadian part, well... one of these days I would love to visit Canada and learn more about the culture period. Canadians are just HAWT! Having Portuguese in me just makes me feel fucking sexy, and I love being a US citizen. Yes... I'm a mutt and I love it! :D

I am half Mexican, a quarter Native American, and the rest of me is a mix of Irish and German. Unfortunately I didn't even know I was Mexican until I found my birth certificate when I was 10. So my family never celebrated any traditions. I do eat at Taco Bell tho!!!;D
