    What's your race, ethnicity, or heritage?

    Just curious of everyone here considers there race/ethnicity. It's a subject I like talking about with new people I meet. It can be really interesting how people relate to there own heritage. For example my best friend growing up is Filipino and german and although he's not ashamed of being filipino he often refers to himself as white. Which is odd considering he really looks filipino. I find it interesting how some people embrace their heritage while others don't or just parts. so what do you consider yourself? it can be as general as white, black, asian, etc. or more specific.

    I myself am Irish, German, Slovak, and Native American with some French and Welsh going way back and of course I am also regular old American. so that's part of my heritage as well. although I don't really know how I feel about calling myself American.

    (Other then that, im from the Netherlands, some of my ancestors appear to be from germany, my mom is always bragging about how her family has ancestors that were french nobility. Apparently my genes come from all over Europe :P)

    My ancestors were mostly English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish. A few Vikings. Someone was German. Someone was French. My dad researched our family history, and every once in awhile, he'll describe how we're related to Daniel Boone or Rollo the Viking (?) or such and such kings. Apparently, I could be in the Daughters of the American Revolution, Daughters of the Union, Daughters of the Confederacy...

    I figure all people are related anyway. I heard something like "you're at least sixth cousins with everyone." Maybe it's not true, but we're probably all related to some degree.

    Well, let me help you prove your point. I too am related to Daniel Boone,Weird! but yeah, I have heard the same thing in my anthropology classes. If you go back in your history far enough you'll be able to connect yourself to a lot of interesting people.

    German, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Spanish, Czech, French, and Italian. I know there are more, but I can't think of them all at the moment. Or as I call myself, "Euro-mutt". lol. I refer to myself as White because I don't want to seem like an ass when people ask and give them a whole list.
