    What Nationality/Ethnicity is Everyone?

    This came up in a conversation at work the other day, so I was wondering: What nationality/ethnicity are you? Or are you more than one? I'd be curious to see what everyone says

    Me personally, I'm mostly Irish-American, and a little bit Italian and Polish as well.

    The lines are muddy for me. I was born in Canada and I consider myself to be half British and half Portuguese. My dad was born in England with French Canadian and British parents. My mom was born in Canada with two full Portuguese parents.

    Nationality: American...I guess — I don't really personally identify as such just because I was born here.

    Race/Ethnicity: African American, Irish, Native American, maybe other stuff. I generally just classify myself as a mixed breed.

    Nationality-British
    Ethnicity-Half Scottish, half Cornish, but we don't really have them over here. You're basically just your nationality, since most people here have ethnicities that are pretty much nationalities.

    Austrian (not Australian! I dunno why people ALWAYS mix that up! That's why we say There's no Kangaroos in Austria) and British. The latter because my father's dad was diff from the rest of the children (Wartime fling when my grandmother's husband was thought to have been lost) and he came from Manchester, so I have family in England I don't think I'll ever know exist.

    whiiiiiiiiite.

    i have zero idea where any of my ancestors came from on either side of my family and no desire to know. okay, i have some idea, i know it's from europe. would it be cool to claim i was polish? maybe, if i could locate poland on a map. but to me it's all just europe (i know how to point to that) and there's no meaning to me in any further subdivisions.

    Ah merrrrr i can!

    But we in Ah merrrr i caaa are so different that I'm really New Orleanian which is vastly different than people from Utah and Maine.
    We're pretty close to being like people from New York, but without the buildings and subways...............too much water for subways.
    We're fishing, shrimping, partying, drinking, eating, cooking, family kinda people.

    And we talk funny.

    But I'm also a mutt................... Spanish, French, Irish and German..............all coming through the Canary Islands, so we are considered Creole Islaneos with Cajun Flavoring.

    Oh wait....
