What ethnicity are you?

100% English. How boring. I know all parents connected to me from the past century have been English, so if there is anything else then it's so old and so minor that it's not worth mentioning.
 
White.
...and yes I want to get White first! :D

Well, a few generations back it isn't white...ish? Idk.
Cause my mum = Australian, her mother = Australian, her father = his parents are somewhat Irish or something, I dunno... aaand my Dad is English, but only lived there for a couple years when he was a kid, so he sounds Aussie - but his mother etc are all English, so yeah.

I think of myself as fully Australian though and I tend to forget the minor details regarding my father :)
 
I am Australian (or English if you want) and I have just have one great-great-great Grandma who was from Spain. Yeah and that is it :)
 
I'm pretty white. To break it down, I'm pretty sure I'm part German, Finnish, maaaaybe something else in Europe (god knows), and a tiny bit Native American.

...so yeah.
 
I'm very white, and according to my family, I'm 1/5 British, 1/5 Polish, 1/5 Lithuanian, 1/5 Russian, and 1/5 Austrian.

.... Yay?.... ^^;
 
Well let's see...

I'm mostly Irish, with some Italian, a bit of Dutch, and a drop of Russian.

Yet, I look German!
 
Everyone in America claims to be part Native American. We all know that only a very small percentage of those are actually part Native American. I bet you all posts trying to debunk this obvious fact will be Americans claiming to be Native American..or Canadians. :P

Anyways..

I am NOT Native American.

I am basically a mutt. A small amount of everything. My family has a very long history of marrying foreigners, I find this pattern very interesting.

I am mostly Irish. And by mostly, I mean it's the largest percentage, and that percentage is not big. About 20%. I am also French, Nordic (Norwegian, Swedish, and Icelandic are all Nordic, no I am not all three), Russian, English, Slavic, German, Dutch, and I even have a Chinese great-great Grandfather. Hurray for technically illegal bastard children from a long time ago! :D

And all that is just in the family history that I have traced back. O_o
 
I'm not... even totally sure. :( I know there's definitely English in there (more than the rest, I would assume?) because my Grandfather was born in England. French is present because my grandmother's line was Métis (part-Aboriginal, part-French). Fun fact: that sliiiight amount of aboriginal blood got my uncle into the RCMP back when it was mostly only accepting minority applications for a while. xD My last name is Scottish (and I know one set of great-(great-?)grandparents on my dad's side came over from Scotland. There's a bit of Irish in there too, and hell if I know the rest. I ask this question quite often and sometimes my parents will remember an extra part. I only learnt the Irish bit last year and I've been asking for years before that so... 8/

I tend to just say I'm Canadian because 3/4 of my grandparents were born here. :/ Good enough even if it's not an ethnicity shut up!
 
I'm a little white mutt. I'm 3/8ths German (dad's mom's side and I think some of his dad's side, too), 1/4 Danish (mom's mom was straight from Denmark), and I know there's some Irish (my last name is Irish, and my skin has a rather Irish hue) and maybe Scottish in there somewhere, as well as probably some other miscellaneous western European heritage. I was born 'n raised in 'Murr-ca, though.
 
what ethnicities make up your family?

I'm three ethnicities - Spanish, Filipino, and American. My mom is all Filipino, so I'm half Filipino. Really, I hardly know anything about my Filipino heritage... Except for the fact that my mom's family immigrated here before World War Two. I got mostly American from my dad, and a bit of Spanish from my grandmother, or Nana, as I call her. I'm a Christian, Catholic in specific, and my mom occasionally makes Filipino dishes once in awhile. It's amazing I don't know any Filipino dishes of my own, seeing as my mom's mother was a Filipino chef. I wish I knew more about my heritage and family.

How does your family recognize and celebrate your ethnicities?
 
i'm adopted, so i don't share any ethnic background with my family- my mom's filipeno, my dad was german, and i'm a mixture of irish (iirc) and malaysian. i don't really acknowledge my cultural background with a celebration or anything, unless celebrating american holidays count. but i do like to use my being part malaysian to excuse my shortness.
 
I've answered this a couple times before in the last month or so, but I'm Swedish, Norwegian, French, Scottish, Irish, English, Danish, and German. My mother's all of those except German and Danish, and I get the other two from my biological father, while my legal father is largely Swedish, probably with some French and English mixed, in, amongst other unknowns. And then my brother and sister (whom are genetic half-siblings) are what my mother and my legal father are combined.

So we're all white European, but we're a heck of a lot of different nationalities.
 
American is an ethnicity now? Or did you mean Native American? XD

I'm biracial, which means my family is fairly diverse. On my mom's side there are your average Mestizo Hispanics and some Spaniards and on my dad's side, there are Scots and Irish as well as a couple of Hispanics and maybe a little French as well. :D
