LeiaRules · Beast

im a mix too.

Dragon Wing · Gone

I'm a plain old whitie. But I'm 25% Armenian, if that means anything.

But 70% Irish, so that kind of dominates.

Ayelet_Ripley · Frelengian

I'm as white as some frightened milk. D:

Italian of hungarian heritage.

zadavias_spirit · Out of This World

I'm 1/2 American and 1/2 Japanese.

I may have some German/Swiss blood in me somewhere from my father's ancestors, but not much to talk about.

Rye · Angela is always right!

I'm half Colombian and half French Canadian.
First halfbreed on my dad's side of the family. Hehe. xP
On my mom's side there's also a bit of Italian, Portugese, and Aztec.

Bandkanon · Amazing

100% Irish. >_> My family is strict for personal reasons.

Rye · Angela is always right!

Oh my goodness, everyone is Irish these days. xD
Must be good signs, considering my move... -ponders-

Ayelet_ripley: Thats like me. You should know you posses some rather speacil genes. Hungarians have some very unique genetics and are one of the only ''non-indo European'' countries, together with Estonia and Finland.

Dragon_wing: I believe Armenians are an ethnic group for themselves, but I'm not sure. They could just be slavs though, which is considered caucasion.

50% other?

You guys know caucasion means white, right? Or did the people who voted other vote other because they're such a diverse mix?

I voted other becose I'm not jest white. I look Irsh byt I have indian heratige Latin English.
Race itn'e the coloer you are or what you nessasaraly look like. Race is your back ground so say your Caucasion tells people what skin tone you have but not what race you are.

to tell some one your race would be like

I'm a native american
I'm a african american
I'm English
I have a German back ground.

XtreamCrazy · BUT MY CHEESE WILL GET COLD. D8

My father was born in Phortzheim (sp?), Germany and moved over to Australia after my Oma and Opa were invited over to build up the population. My Oma was born illegitimately to a German woman by a married Italian man.

My mother was born in Sydney, Australia and is decent of Scottish convicts who were sent here after stealing a sheep to feed their family… My Nanna paid a heap of money to have our family tree explored and apparently we’re also decent of the Scottish king Robert de Bruce or whoever he was… That feller from Braveheart… XD

So, I’m as white as they can get. c(X

I’m finding more and more people with German in their heritage… Man that country must’ve sired many a children!

I don't mean by skin color. Your a pretty big mix, so I would have voted other, if I were you too.

Akira_Cat · Your local cat

I'm a white British. Yeah I know. Boring! I think my ancestors might have been German cos our surname sounds German. But I have no clue.

techfan979 · MagykWire

You voted caucasion, right?

Yes I do.

And just a FYI that's caucasian, not caucasion.

To that I say ''D'oh!''

That's probably it. Interracial marriages are evermore likely these days. I can't vote any one thing and have it be true because my blood is too mixed for that. Hence... other. =P

Natynicky · Martian

I'm latin ^-^

I have african, american, Spanish, and our own indian herritage
WOW I have a little of everything

Well even though I'm a mix, I'm still caucasian. While slavs are still considered caucasian, I feel they're a big enough branch that I could make slavik into a seperate option.

Rye · Angela is always right!

Well, yeah, I assume it'd be easy enough for people who are a mix of, say, two caucasian backgrounds or something. It's a little more difficult for people like me who are caucasian and latina, for example--polar opposites. Half and half, so none overrules the other, too... I'm a mutt! xD

*pets Rye on the head* Awe! Can I keep it?? *puppeh dawg eyes*

Dragon Wing · Gone

NO. Go clean your room young lady.

dOMITUPSYK · Loonatic

XD

White- Part German; Part, you guessed it- Irish. (My ACTUAL surname is Torres which is Puerto Rican, but it came from my mother's previous marriage, and she had to keep it for the nursing field back then, but had she gone back to her maiden name, I would have been COGDELL which is as Irish as it gets. XD)

The German is there, it just chooses to manifest itself in the form of personality- I'm secretive, the toilet paper goes with the part you pull on on top, whatever it is you're doing I can do it 50% better 50% faster while giving 50% of the effort (not that I'm being snobby- it took my grandma 3 hours to polish the wooden furniture. Took me 30 minutes, and I got props for a job well done. XD GO ME! XD), and other stuff.

jurassic drak · Beast

Chinese-Spanish, otherwise known as Filipino ^^

Born in Hawaii. I identify as a Hawaiian more than anything in terms of culture. Hang loose dudes.

Ayelet_Ripley · Frelengian

Yeah, I understand perfectly, 'cause that's pretty much like me. Both my parents are Hungarian but I grew up in Italy and thus, I relate to them a lot more. I actually feel like such a foreiner whenever I visit Hungary. I don't think I could live there, I'd feel like a fish out of the water.

techfan979 · MagykWire

Theres a big difference between Italians and Hungarians, thats for sure.

Rye · Angela is always right!

Wait, isn't neyojii black?

Shirako · Anthros

Who is Neyojii? And how would you know his/her race? I did not see their post on this topic yet...

Anyway, I wish that I could say that I am blue...but I am not. I wish that I came from Dillydale...but I do not. Anyway, my name actually has a meaning. If you look it up, you might be able to tell what I am.

techfan979 · MagykWire

Neyojii is one of the users here. And I think he might be black because of his choice of slang, and he's mentioned he has an afro. So either he's black, or he's trying to be black, which IMHO would make him a loser.

Shirako · Anthros

How can you try to be black (African American)? It makes no sense. Many humans nowadays use slang, whether they be black (African American) or not. It really is strange. Well, my question should be "Why would you try to be black (African American)?" I cannot understand why anyone would do that.

techfan979 · MagykWire

Don't ask me. Some people just try to imitate the ''black style'' and be a gangsta or a player or something. And I find it so pathetic. If your white your white, that's the way it is.

By the way, I found out Shirako means white child in Japanese. It can also mean albino. So I take it your caucasion.

-- Edited by techfan979 at 15:16, 2008-05-01

Shirako · Anthros

..."Gantsa"...? ..."Player"...? I apologize if I seem like an idiot, but I have never heard of those words before. These are slang words, correct? Slang is not allowed in my house, so if they are, I would not know their definitions...and I am unsure if I want to look them up. They sound...nasty, for a lack of a better term.

And you would be correct in your guessing.

techfan979 · MagykWire

Slang is not allowed in your house?

Shirako · Anthros

Correct. Slang is not allowed in my house. My parents forbid it...besides, using it makes humans sound really unintelligent...

techfan979 · MagykWire

I see, your parents must be strict.

Shirako · Anthros

Strict? Not really. They are pretty lenient about general things, but they are obsessive when it comes to language. No cussing and no slang...that is their policy.

techfan979 · MagykWire

They should feel blessed they didn't have to be my parents then.

-- Edited by techfan979 at 15:46, 2008-05-01

Shirako · Anthros

Blessed? What makes you say that? Do you use slang and cuss words?

techfan979 · MagykWire

Not so much slang, as cuss. I cuss like an eccentric old man.

Lumosnight · Loonatic

Excuse me, but why is Slavic separate from Caucasian?
I mean, I'm a Slav, therefore I'm caucasian, so I don't know what to pick.

And why is it that Slavs have to be the ones segragated? This reminds me of when Hitle spoke about the 'undermensch' (or 'subhumans') and Slavs fell into that category.

Oh and you spell it 'Slavic' not 'slavik'. It's bad enough that we are now separate from Caucasian but we also have to tolerate our group being spelt wrongly.

techfan979 · MagykWire

Oh dear jesus, I knew this would happen.

I know Slavs are caucasion, but I felt they were such a big branch, they could be a seperate option. I was interested in seeing if we would get a signifigant Slavic percentage. I find Slavs interesting.

The spelling mistake was just a mistake, I spelled caucasian wrong too. I don't count Slavs for anything less than anybody else. I stated in the beginning of the thread I'm not racist.

Read all the posts in the thread before responding. That should clear some things up.

Dragon Wing · Gone

And also "Asian" and "Middle-eastern oriental" are mixed up. Rather, it should be simply "Oriental" and "Middle-eastern".

Shirako · Anthros

"Slavic" is an ethnicity, not a race. I just realized that "Slavic" was up on the poll.

I think I'm going to have a stroke.

Oriental and Asian means the same thing, but everybody has been using the word oriental to refer to middle-easterners.

I've changed that now anyway.

...What? Why? Was it due to the fact that we caught a few errors?

Dragon Wing · Gone

Well, the way people think of it, Asian and Oriental are the same thing, yeah. But it kinda bugs me. I mean, is a person living in India not technically Asian?

If you want to go for being completely correct, then its Oriental.

I must say, though, I've never heard a Middle Easterner be referred to as "Oriental" before.

techfan979 · MagykWire

I know Slavs are caucasion, but please read the other posts, and you'll know why they're an option.

I'm gonna have a stroke because its past 1:00 AM, and I just racially offended someone.
