Everyone is MIXED (dont' ever forget that) but some are just mixed more so than others. I myself have a mixture of african, cherokee, american indian and german...I try not to use the indian mix though seems like everyone trys to take credit in having that. ;0)

I was also born in Kiev!!! ;D

They do say that the most beautiful women in the world are from Ukraine, hehehe...

My dad is Uki, Rus, and Jewish, my mom is a Russian Cossack. I still speak Russian because we smuggled my babushka over here and she raised me...

I think that customers in clubs here really like the exotic aspect of dancers, its an interesting conversation piece. I sometimes even affect a Russian accent for the hell of it even though I've lived here for 20 years. 8)

In Europe its different. There is lots of bad blood towards women from Eastern Europe..many western Europeans think that we are all prostitutes because of the sad problem of trafficking women from East. Europe... >:(

I only know part of the story because my mom was adopted. On my dad's side there's Irish, Scottish, Spanish (black hair, blue eyes) and Native American (Osage). My paternal grandmother traced her family history to a guy with the last name of O'Flynn who landed from Ireland in 16xx. Don't know as much about paternal grandfather. I'm thinking my mom MUST be very irish because she is a flaming redhead freckled nutball.

100% Nigerian. All family history traced there to date, born there, raised in UK. I keep getting mistaken for being biracial because of my rather light skin tone, but that has worked in my favour many a time! If there were LD clubs in Nigeria, I'd bag coz they all LOVE my complexion (rather in the same way that most people here like the look of tanned skin over very pale skin)!

Both of my maternal g-parents are from Italy so I am half Italian and my paternal g-parents are French, Italian and I think something else but not sure. I basically say Italian because that is what I am mostly I guess.

It so beautiful to see all the differnt backgrounds here :)

I was born in the US as were both my parents.

My father was 1/2 German and 1/2 Italian ( my grandmother used to tell me we wre from Royal blood but who knows if that was just fairy talk for a child ) and Dad was raised in New England.

My mother is a mix of French, Irish and Blackfoot Indian and she was raised in the Blue Mountain area and was a coal miners daughter.

My father's family are German and English, my mother's family are Italian (northern and southern) and African (Libya).

If I wasnt such an anemic goth, I'd be darker skinned. A lot of folks mistook me for Hispanic when I was young.

Interesting thread. I happen to be a second-generation mix of Irish and Mescalero Apache. That is to say that my parents were also a 50/50 mix. I attended reservation schools for about three years and am a full tribal member.

I was born in St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands. All my family on both sides is from there...my mom was born here in NYC, because my grandmother moved here, but my grandmother and everyone on back is from St. Croix. Technically I'm American, as far as ethnicity I think we're Black and some kind of Native American, either Carib or Arawak. I consider myself Black/West Indian. It's confusing, I try not to think about it.

I am Italian, Scottish, and Cherokee Indian.

Hubby is 1/2 Scottish and 1/2 Cherokee. Their family still has their castle in the lowlands in Scotland. We are planning to go to the huge 10yr family reunion in a few years. We are planning to be gone for a month so we can see all of Scotland and maybe play golf at St. Andrew's (I will be able to die happy then,lol!)

My natural father is old-country Italian and Black Irish. A serious, dark, brilliant, sexually adventurous bad-boy with even more serious connections. Chicago family line.

My mother is German-French (Alsace-Lorraine) with a hell of a rebellious streak, movie-star good looks and red hair to die for. Also, a father in the Secret Service and a mother in military intelligence.

My mother knew how to seriously piss people off. She had bodyguards all through high school (when her father was still in the Customs Service and was interdicting drug runs across the Texas border) and still told everybody to go fuck off. God, I love this woman.

These two lines pretty much define who I am. ;)

100% Polish! I'm second generation. Both my mothers parents are Polish and my fathers parents were Polish also. And I went and married a Polish guy from Greenpoint Brooklyn who came to the US when he was about 11 and his entire family is Polish too on both sides. My mothers father used to tell stories about when he was a kid having to hide in the forest when the Cossacks (sp) raided the villages on horse back with swords. And my husbands grandfather was part of the underground during WWII and did whatever he could to save Jews. He was caught by th SS and taken away and never heard from again. I named my son after him, Nicholas.
