African American, Irish, German, and Sioux. Although I just say I'm black since that's what I look and identify with the most

I'm not sure about percentages.
I know I'm part Indian (Goan) on my momma's side.
My dad's side of the family is really mixed though. My pops looks white and I ended up taking after him as well. My last name is of Portuguese descent, so we assume that we look weird cuz we have Portuguese blood. My parents have a stronger bond to East Africa though cuz they were born there (dad - Kenya, mom - Tanzania).

Mostly Irish, thanks to my dad's side of the family, mixed in with a bit of Dutch and English from my mother's side of the family.
Purely Finnish. That seems so boring when looking at everyones answers, but as far as I know (at least a few generations back) there has not been a single non-Finnish person in our family. Maybe I should fix that and marry a foreigner so that my kids wouldn't have to give boring answers in internet forum polls 
Are we talking genetically or as a background?
Genetically, I think I'm the product of a sheaf of paper and some snow, one of which had dark hair, because I'm about as white as either of those.
If you go by those who're my official parents, then I'm Irish-English-Welsh in that order.

Norwegian/American. Though, my direct ancestors [small](parents/grandparents/great-grandparents and so on for as far back as I've read)[/small] down to myself were all born in Norway. The American side of my family just moved there at some point.
[sub]Technically that makes me completely Norwegian, but I have both passports.[/sub]

1/2 of me is Danish and Norwegian.
The other 1/2 of me is somehow split between being Welsh, Scottish, Irish, English

Mostly Lithuanian, and damn proud of it too . . . this eastern-European blood, man . . . too stubborn and proud for my own good.
Mothers side: pure Dutch.
Fathers side: Who the hell knows. My fathers ancestors were gypsies until two generations before him (and pirates before that, if my grandfathers tall tales are to be believed). Half of Europe? What I do know is part German, Polish and Norwegian.
I've been told I look more Polish than anything else, but I pass for native Dutch, German and Belgian as well. Then again, those are just varieties of caucasian, so it's all a bit vague.

White American.
Ancestrally speaking somewhere between 50 and 75% Irish (at least fifty as my mothers side is 100% Irish) but I am unsure of my ethnic origin on my fathers side but my surname is of Norman origin so I have some English descent as well. I think I heard that Scottish was in there too but thats dicey.

Panamanian, Cherokee, English, and a bit of Canadian. The Panamanian is the dominant ethnicity though.
