What is your ethinic background?
There has been a few threads here regarding race and I am curious what the ethinic makeup of SW is. I hope the choices make sense.
Oh and when I say mixed race I dont mean Irish and German (which are both of the same ethnic group) it means like asian and black or something like that.

I'm half Filipina (asian) and half American (caucasian). But apparently that mix makes me look Mexican lol. :)

Re: What is your ethinic background?
My mother is a mix of German and French and my father is from Brazil. I was blessed with a very unique look. When I was younger I used to want to downplay my ethnic side alot. I wanted to be like all my blue eyed blond girlfriends (growing up in Minnesota that is common)..then I got older and realised how silly that was..I started to embrace everything about myself and am a lot happier person because of it. I opened my mind alot to find you never have to pretend to be something you are not..:). Those people who accept you accept you those who don't don't and you never are going to click or appeal to every person you meet.
Most guys can never tell what I am.."What's your heritage?" is the question I get most frequently when I sit down with a guy..but then again I was used to hearing that question way before I went in my first strip club. So it doesn't bother me. I always like to say "Guess!" :) I like to hear all the interesting awnsers. I get everything from Persian, Indian, Greek, Itallian, ect. :)

Re: What is your ethinic background?
Mostly I think I'm German. I get asked often if I'm Italian, but I think that's probably just because of my dark hair. Naturally I'm blonde with blue eyes and fair skin. So yeah, very German/Caucasian.
-
Re: What is your ethinic background?
I'm mixed, half mexican, half caucasian(Irish). Everyone seems to think I'm white, especially since I went blonde.

Re: What is your ethinic background?
My mom is from Argentina and my dad is from Jerusalem, but his family is originally from Yemen.
I look Indian. I am the ONLY person in my family that looks Indian. it drives me nuts!!!!

Re: What is your ethinic background?
I'm British and Spanish, first generation.

Re: What is your ethinic background?
My real dad is German & English. My mother was Italian (Sicily and Naples) & Libyan (All of the relatives I have from there are black Libyan, no one from that side looks Arabic) but I look very white to most.... or at least very pale Italian for those who can tell the difference between olive skin and pink. :D

Re: What is your ethinic background?
^^^Wow, that's an awesome mix.
-
Re: What is your ethinic background?
Irish and American Indian here ... a very volatile combination !
-
Re: What is your ethinic background?
My heritage is English, Spanish, French and Portugese. People think I look Dutch /:O

Re: What is your ethinic background?
Since you put Native American-(indigenous) and White-(euro) in separate groups, I had to pick "mixed race but I don't look mixed" because I have both in my background. I look white. I don't know my full heritage because my mom was adopted so I have no idea about her side. I always just say I'm a mutt ;D
I bet if everyone born in North America knew their full hertiage, 100% would be mixed race of some sort another. If you really start tracing things back, I truly believe there is no true 100% pure ethnicity anymore. Except maybe in some of the most remote tribal areas...
This is why I don't really like racial talk so much - we're all mixed somehow.

Re: What is your ethinic background?
I'm 5th generation American on my mom's side (before that, the family was from eastern Europe) and my dad's adopted, so no clue, but white.
-
Re: What is your ethinic background?
I am mostly Scottish and Irish, but my 4th great grandmother and my 3rd great grandfather were Welsh and my 8th great grandmother was Italian.
-
Re: What is your ethinic background?
I am Black, Piscataway Indian, and French. I've heard that I look Creole, Cuban, and even Philipino.
-
Re: What is your ethinic background?
I believe my background to be mostly a mix mash of white euro bloodlines so that is what I picked in the poll. My father was born in the States but his parents were white European immigrants.
However because my Mother's family has been in the U.S.A. for hundreds of years there may also be some Hispanic, Native American or African blood in me somewhere too. It isn't that uncommon for the social class from which my Mother's faimly originated. All the photo's and paintings I have see of her family were of snow white skin tones but considering the historical situation of the times it's more than possible some mixed people could have been passing for white.
Either way, I could care less if I was mixed or not. I am just happy to be me :)

Re: What is your ethinic background?
I am African American, French, and Croatian. No one can ever figure out what I am! I commonly get mistaken for Puerto Rican, Italian, Philipino(Which i can never understand why), and occasionally mexican.
-
Re: What is your ethinic background?
Mixed Russian (father) and Afghan (Mother).
People can't tell what I am. I have the Slavic/Russian blue-green eyes, but I have my mother's darker skin and hair. I tend to think it's a good combination, so I try to accentuate it.

Re: What is your ethinic background?
Puerto Rican. As if you couldn't tell by the name.. hehe

Re: What is your ethinic background?
I'm almost 100% Irish. Only my great grandfather on my fathers side was not Irish..he was Chech. But since he apparently only stepped foot out of the bar to wander home and father another child...we dont really count him as part of the family. Nobody really knew him.
-
Re: What is your ethinic background?
Oh geez. My great great grandmother was "Cherokee", and many, many more years ago my family came from parts of the UK and France.
-
Re: What is your ethinic background?
I'm Mexican, Brazilian, and American Indian. Mostly those three races. Pretty damn exotic if I say so myself ;)
-
Re: What is your ethinic background?
Father-Some kind of European/Lakota Sioux Indian (1/4)
Mother- Vietnamese/Chinese
Been taken for: Plain white, Japanese, Hispanic, Half-Indian, etc.
ps. There are so many of these threads :). It's nice to see a real love for culture/diversity.
