What race are you?

I'm Caucasian and I'm whiter then a ghost. Irish, and German

Cacausian and a born US citizen according to the IRS and government. ;)

However, I have Native American (Choctaw), Irish, and Dutch roots from my mom's side and probably a little of everything on my dad's side.

My dad got the last remnants of his great-grandmother's coloring, his hair when he was young was the thick, glossy black, (started turning grey in his twenties) and he turns a lovely red-brown if he gets enough sun. I, alas, more inherited the Swedish and English coloring of the well-mixed gene pool - I BURN in the sun, and just get more freckles!

I also put other. I also fall into that pasty-white burn-in-the-sun girls. I usually say my skin is clear:)

I'm 1/16th Canadian Blackfoot. On my father's side of the family there is probably also some unidentified either Native American or African American blood.

My general feeling is that I can't claim one race. How can I just say that part of me doesn't exist? I like multi-racial the best for me.

I have NO idea!! But I am "full-Belgian", europian white. Does that make me a caucasian then??

Irish.

Yep, you are considered caucasian.

I am Scottish but my mum is Irish!!!! :D

I put other, I'm a little bit of everything. :p I'm German, Scandinavian, Norwegian ( :o ), Mexican, Caucasian, Native American....that's all I can think of. I am pretty white though, I look a little Mexican I guess. A lot of my "friends" make fun of me sometimes for being Mexican, cause they know if pisses me off....though I dont know why. I'm hardly at all Mexican, but w/e haha.

I'm caucasian.

Yes, dear. You would be classified as caucasian. Me, too. I'm "Euro-American" - Canadian French & Czech, with a dollop of MicMac Indian - hey Karen, maybe we're related? :D

94% Mexican with a pinch (6%) of Aztec. ;)

**Edit to add: 100% American!

Think she was just curious!

I don't think the topic of races/ethnicities should break people apart. Rather, they should bring us together as we discover the similarities that are so apparent throughout each culture. I am human, as are the rest of you, but the world would be quite a boring place if we banded together as a single ethnicity :p (IMHO)

We like to travel because we love to immerse ourselves in foreign places and experience the authenticity of the culture. I don't think these different "classifications" should be used to break people apart, but they should be used to expand our knowledge and help us to understand and appreciate the world around us. I am Asian (Chinese) and I'm darn proud! My ethnicity is something that brings me much pride and joy. It's something that sets me apart from others and I'm very proud I was blessed with this opportunity to actively engage in two entirely different worlds (American/Chinese).

Giselle- I totally agree! I don't think it's wrong at all to be proud of your heritage, but judging people because of their heritage is always detrimental.

Nascar!
