I dunno, white and British.

Other than being completely unsentimental about that sort of thing, I've also decided to not find out, in response to all those people who insist on telling you they're 3/11 Mexican, 2 acres German, and 4 double Big Macs Latino, when what you've actually done is ask them if they're American.

They also inevitably claim that they're related to some historic figure of at least some minor importance.

English, with English parents, both of which had English parents, all of which had English parents. Even the surnames of all my Grandparents have English origins.

I know there is no such thing as "true" English but as far as I can tell I'm not even 1/8 anything else. They are even all from the same two counties which are next to each other so I can't even say I'm diverse in an English sense.

It kinda makes sense now why I don't really find English girls attractive and long to emmigrate, my biology is telling me I need to shake up the gene pool a little.

Purebred Korean. If you want me to specify North or South, I have no idea, since my parents were born shortly before the war started.

European American, which is longhand for white.

Something more specific? Okay.

I've got ancestors from Sweden, Germany and I think Switzerland, just off the top of my head. Probably got a little bit of other stuff too. I know that one of my eigth great grandfathers was a pirate! (but ninjas are still cooler)

German, English, Irish, Dutch, Creek, and Chickasaw. I know I have more ethnicities than this, but this is the all I know at the moment mostly because my Dad's family has a past that is hard to dig up. Still, I have some interesting combinations right here already. Should be interesting to find out more.

Since I have German roots from both my Mom and Dad, I guess that makes me mostly ehtnically German by plurality. However, my European ancestors arrived in America in the 17th century (possibly earlier from my fraternal grandpa's side) so that pretty much means I am about as Americanized as it gets.

I have more than I think is considered reasonable as far as ethnic backgrounds are concerned, but this is all of them:

German (Mostly)
Finish
Swedish
Norwegian
Czech (A little)
Irish (Again, a little)

As you can see I can clearly hold my liquor :p
