Anna Adrielle wrote: Thanks! You are so generous! You are so pretty! Nov 26 13 02:05 am Link Well, apparently I'm a total mutt. But what I know for sure is: Japanese, Filipino, Irish and German. Nov 27 13 10:01 pm Link Ukrainian. Irish. Swiss-German. French. And can speak all the languages HOLLA except German. :'( Nov 28 13 09:27 am Link German/English/Scotts-Irish/Scandinavian/French I'm basically a caucasian mutt. Nov 29 13 01:05 am Link Syncope wrote: haha:p Nov 29 13 01:14 am Link Nov 29 13 02:13 am Link I've German roots, also Polish. I think I took for themselves the best  Nov 29 13 02:24 am Link Eugenya wrote: LOL We the little people. Nov 29 13 10:27 am Link MY mother was from Venus, my father was from Mars. Nov 29 13 10:40 am Link In Europe we find this US obsession with national roots wierd, as English, Scottish, French, German, Italian, Spanish and all the rest of humanity since man discovered travel, rape and pillage, We are all mongrels and mixed race for 2 to 3 thousand years. For example the relatively modern/current countries in Europe are populated by the earlier Vikings, Danes, Angles, Normans, Goths, etc. 2000 years ago Alexander the Great and his (Greek) army were intermarrying with Persian and Indian people they conqured. Now with modern political history we have divided the World with new name countries, Italy and Germany are barely 100 years old and did not exist when the United States broke away from King George. We may all have identifiable mixed ethnic roots but modern names countries really do not apply. What do I know? Nov 29 13 11:12 am Link Fotoartist wrote: Interesting you should say that. Nov 29 13 11:49 am Link It is just a point of interest. One's ethnicity is one of the things that gives them a unique look. Certainly not anything to get one's undies in a wad over ! I seriously doubt there were any nefarious intentions here, (or in most cases where ethnicity is discussed). I like to fantasize about different mixes, and what phenotype might result - it is fun, and uses up some time ! -Don Nov 29 13 12:03 pm Link Irish/Scottish/French Nov 29 13 12:08 pm Link Italian and ??? Haha Nov 29 13 12:14 pm Link I'm mostly Hungarian, about 25%. I also have some German, Irish, British, French, and Dutch in my bloodlines. Nov 29 13 12:26 pm Link I'm a American. Mom's side is traced back to a revolutionary war gun shop. I'm Danish, Norwegian, a bit of English, French, and German for good measure. That side of the family mostly inhabits the MidWest, where many Scandinavians ended up. Dad's side is a little more of a mystery. There's definitely a smidge of Cherokee, it shows in my eyes and cheek bones sometimes, and a lot of people think I must have a dabble of Asian. They're mostly in the Virginias and the Carolinas. My dad and I both start talking with a hick twang once we've been drinking. Nov 29 13 12:56 pm Link Caitin Bre wrote: Wasn't the civil rights movement like 50 years ago? Nov 29 13 04:58 pm Link Gosh...I don't really know. Family history is murky at best and Eaton is not my "real" last name. Nov 29 13 05:00 pm Link Italian, German, Polish Nov 29 13 05:05 pm Link i love this thread! isnt the human being just the most amazing breed of animal, with the most beautiful variations in the universe? i am a pure bread russian eastern slav lol. next gen will be mixed for sure. Nov 29 13 05:14 pm Link German Jew from my mother (Holocaust survivor), and Spanish/Irish from my father. Nov 29 13 06:30 pm Link I am descended from the waves of Middle Eastern Migration (a line that may have kicked off in Western Asia) that passed through the Iberian peninsula through to the British Isles. On my mother's side it is English and Irish. In my youth I displayed strong auburn hints in my hair-a colour that is strongly featured throughout Europe, and may be a sign of a link to haplogroup R1b, but different from the Mediterranean group in that red hair seems to have correlated with fair skin. I am quite fair. My hazel eyes show that I may derive significant points of origin from where blue, brown, and green eyes intermixed in the movement of ancient peoples across Asia and Europe. My mother's eyes were green. That eye colour may have first made its appearance where brown and blue eyes met. She had the rarest eye colour and mine is not common, shifting through spectrums of light gold and shifting to light green. My eyes can get easily burned in Southern California and take a long time to recover. My father's side included Irish, French, a lot of English, and also on his mother's side, Native American. You could see that in the cheekbones of my grandmother and her hair. My father had black hair and brown eyes. And so to boil it down: I look Celtic/Germanic. Nov 29 13 07:21 pm Link Human, and I am constantly apologizing for it. Nov 29 13 09:51 pm Link (Hong Kong) Chinese and I'm on MM Dec 01 13 11:02 am Link Elektra Yu wrote: ... and your look is just a m a z i n g !
