I'm looking for ethnicities here. What do you consider yourself? Lists of composing factions are good, and so's a blanket assessment, but whatever it is...

Ethnically, I'm about half Southern European (Spanish and Sicilian), a quarter other Western European (British, Irish, French), and a quarter Northern European (Scandanavian, German), with a trace of Native American mixed in, tribe unknown. Racially, I'm white/caucasoid/whatever un-PC term you want to call it. You know, that Indo-European thing. -------------------- Kelandon's Pink and Pretty Page!!

I identify as Australian. One parent is Welsh, on the other side my family has been here since the first British ship arrived in my state in 1836. On that side my ancestry reflects the immigration waves of the 1830s and 1840s - English/Cornish and German. EDIT: I'd say that means my ethnicity is either anglo-celtic or anglo-saxon [ Saturday, May 29, 2004 21:57: Message edited by: Kyna ] -------------------- We meet and part now over all the world; we, the lost company, take hands together in the night, forget the night in our brief happiness, silently. -- Judith Wright My website Posts: 512 | Registered: Wednesday, February 12 2003 08:00 |

Mostly Western and Eastern European: English/Irish on my father's side, Russian/Ukranian on my mother's. I think there's a little German in there somewhere too.

I'm a Finnish Swede. This often confuses foreigners as a better term would be Swedish Finn. Anyway, I live in Finland, am a Finn, and speak Swedish as mother tonge. My family has belonged to the Finnish Swedes (a minority, 5-6%) for as long as I can know. This would suggest I ultimately descend from people from Sweden, real Swedes who conquered Finland during the crusades. The other posibility is that I descend from ordinary Finns who changed their names and language in hope of earning a better social position. Here's a map of the areas inhabited by Finnish Swedes. I really do love to talk about myself, don't I? *sigh* Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

English.

I'm Finnish on my mother's side, Irish on my father's. My name is Lena Suksi-McShane. O_o However, since both my parents are third and second-generation Canadians, I guess I consider myself to be just plain Canadian. -------------------- "This was like having Arctic, Thuryl, Khoth, TM, and Scorpius with me naked in a broom closet full of tentacles" - Sir Motrax Polaris My BoE graphics Posts: 407 | Registered: Friday, May 14 2004 07:00 |

I am many things. Lets see... I'm French, Canadian, German, Scotish, Irish, Dutch and English. Mostly German and Irish.

Russian Jewish. So, for political purposes, caucasion. Parents are from Lithuania and Ukraine. I'm German about 400 or 500 years back, I think, my last name has a Germanic origin, but my family tree stops in the middle of the good ol' USSR/Eastern Europe. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1614 | Registered: Wednesday, January 23 2002 08:00 |

Amer-Asian: 1/2 Korean, 1/2 mutt (French, Welsh, Norwegian, English, German) The South Korean side is probably pure. The whole Country has a racial purity thing. The american side is more questionable. I am sure of the first 3.
