what is your ethnic background

My family are big genealogy nuts (on my dad's side, at least), so I know exactly where I came from. I'm:

  • 12.5% Norwegian
  • 12.5% Swedish
  • 12.5% Scottish
  • 12.5% Austrian
  • 12.5% Hungarian
  • 12.5% Métis (which is technically half French and half Native)
  • 6.25% English
  • 6.25% Welsh
  • 6.25% Irish
  • 6.25% Dutch
I know I have extended family as far as North America to Australia, scattered throughout Europe and even some living in China.
 
The only nationaly I'm aware that I am is Korean. Which makes me 100% Korean and 100% awesome.

Not that I know anything about Korean culture (and have no desire to try the food or their cars).
 
I'm mostly Belgian, but I'm pretty sure I have a little Italian. I don't really remember.
 
I don't know the percentage, but I do know that my mother's side is mostly purely Italian and my father's side is Irish and English. I suspect I have some French descent, but I don't have any proof of that.
 
I'm a European mutt, from my understanding. The only ethnicity I can name with certainty is German, from my mother's side of the family. I also heard Finnish, but idk. My father apparently did a genealogy book when he was in high school and there were several ethnicities in it, but I haven't actually seen it.

To be honest, I don't really know much about my family's past to begin with, let alone where my far-flung ancestors actually came from. So it's hard for me to pin down exactly what I am. :/
 
I'm English English. There's some Irish ancestry somewhere along the line, but it's pretty far back (like, before 1850). I associate myself as fully English, though.
 
English through and through. Everyone breeding on this island has left our gene-pool like something that should be on the Galapagos.
 
Last time we had one of these threads, I said I was English, Scottish, Irish, French, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and German, but I have since found out that I'm actually part Dutch, not part German, though the surname that ties me to either of those comes from both countries, so I may actually be both. In all, that's 8 or 9 European ethnic groups.
 
As far as I know, I'm 100% African-American. Although, there has been some talk of me having a bit of Caucasian mainly because my hair is a dark redish color.
 
American English for ethnicity.

You sound disappointed by that.
 
I believe that I am 25% Hungarian, 25% French, 25% Irish, and 25% Italian.
One side of my family has lived in America for five generations, while the other side has been here for either five or six (about the late 1800's).
 
Don't know the percentages but I'm Filipino but with part Spanish and I'm also apparently part German as well. Though I've only ever lived here in NZ since I was born - never have I lived in the Philippines
 
I'm a white Australian, mostly of English background. There's some German and Swedish in there, too. My favourite relative is named Theophilus Fuggle. I kid you not.
 
I am certain that I am 100% pinoy(Filipino). But my dad said I have small Japanese traces in my gene.
 
I am 100% Filipino, and have a few other traces of other Asian blood somewhere down the line.
