I don't know what I am.
 I just mean it strikes me as odd that people attach so much meaning to something that means so little. That people would break each others jaws or take pride in something they didn't really have a hand in. I've known such proud people with so little to be proud of--so they'd look at the ethnicity of their ancestry and create a myth around themselves, and they would really go gung-ho about it, they'd get really bigoted about it. They looked to their ancestry and applied positive generalizations to themselves and negative generalizations to others. To people they didn't know. It bothered me. Maybe it skewed me. To the point where hyphenated americans in general bother the hell out of me. But I won't go any further into that. G'day, thread  |

Being aware of your ethnicity and being some kinda crazy violent supremacist are two different things y'know. |

Well, both my parents are US born, so yeah. For a rough overall estimate (not including the american part),
1/2 German
1/4 Swedish
1/4 Scottish
(On another note, my great grandpa came to america with a motorcycle and 1000 dollars. Fuck yeah)

1/4 Swedish, 1/4 Polish and 1/2 something else. Pretty sure there's some Native American and Scottish in there. Born and raised in the US of A.

Weird mix of Italian, Mexican, Spaniard and English, as far as I know. Born in Mexico and raised in the INTERNET. Moving to Spain soon, hopefully! |

They are more hairy than before, yes, but is not as bad as the news make you believe. They make it seem as a doomsday scenario. You know, there are "zones of danger", the cities near the border, especially. Most of the violence victims are other criminals, it's like a war between drug gangsters, revenges and that sort of stuff. But honestly, I try to avoid watching or reading news, they do no good for my stress levels... heheh |

If Chihuahua were a country, it'd be the most violent country in the world. Or at least that's what I read somewhere. I live in Toluca, near Mexico City, and it's very calm around here. As for my ethnicity, I really don't know. Mexican, Korean, Spaniard, but I don't know if I look like any of those. |
