Hi,
i was just wondering, how many people on this site are not americans. In other words, you live in U.S./Canada/Europe but your nationality may be russian, greek, german etc.
Thanks!

I'm Canadian and I am Swedish, Polish, Ukranian and Norwegian.
Alright.
so I'm an odd mixture of German (dad's side)
and Dutch & Sioux (mom's side)
and as odd as it sounds, I have had multiple people see my myspace pictures and ask me if i have any african american in me. ME? the blonde, green/blue/gold eyed girl? lol. when i ask why they've asked, they say its the cheekbones. But I would have to assume that came from the Native American in me...

half Italian, the rest is Russian Jew, and a little Mongolian.
I'm from Taiwan living in the U.S.
One problem with border-crossing is the different standards in different places. I'm trying to lose 19 lbs that I gained after coming here, so that I'll be able to fit into my old clothes again. Most of my friends here think I look fine, while I know very well that I will be considered fat in Taiwan.

Dad from Mexico, maternal grandparents from Greece, living in US.
I'm the Canadian-born offspring of a Chinese father and an Australian mother.
My mom is 100% Portuguese, but she will be the first to admit that her family looks as if they used to get busy with the slaves many years ago.
My dad's dad is German (but from Mexico) and his mother is Spanish and Indian (from Mexico.)
That makes me a Portuguese German Spanish Indian Mexican American.

1/2 filipino
1/2 lebanese

Mom is half japanese, and nearly half irish with 1/8 cherokee indian. (although I have heard there is some black dutch and eskimo from her side too, so the numbers are really really vague).
Dad is nearly all irish with 1/8th cherokee indian as well.
So that makes me something like this: 1/4 japanese (possibly a small part eskimo), and nearly 3/4 Irish (although possibly a small part black dutch) and 1/8 cherokee indian. I tell people I am a heinz 57 but mainly irish and japanese. I only tell them more if they push it....
Ok so my hubby is Half Mexican, half Welch... My kids are so screwed if someone asks them this question! 1/4 mexican 1/4 welch, 1/3 irish, 1/8 japanese, 1/16 cherokee indian.....and negligible amounts of black dutch and eskimo if any.....
Oh no you made me go crossed eyed!
Anyway me and my hubby and my kids were all Born in California :) --Sumi

My Ethnic backround is full German on Dads side and Full Ukraine on my mothers. So, I am a big fan of beer and perogies.
I'm British but my heritage includes mainly Southern Irish, american indian, swedish and welsh.
I dont think this topic I can give an answer but here it is anyway.
I am southern, pure southern to the bone. My pa would say our
family tree is full of nuts. I am proud of where I came from and everyone
should be. God made us all so there ya go. Like that songs says
