I think this is a good oppurtunity to meet other OB members if you discuss your heritages. I know several people have multiple heritages, but just name the most prominent ones in your life.

I don't know how many of the OBers have actually seen my temper, but it's not a pretty sight. Here's where I get my fiesty-ness and playfulness. [b]Italian[/b]- My sweeter side. More of the romance comes from the Italian blood. Can't help it, Italians are lovers ~_^. Although, you get me rawled up, I can pull the Mafia routine. Is it as bad as my Irish temper....god no, lol. Plus, here's where I get my unruly hair -_- [b]Russian[/b]- This is where I get my looks. If you have ever seen a picture of me, I look more Russian than I do Italian. I've got the eyes, lips, and nose..and also my skin tone and dark hair. My personality leans more on the Russian side; reserved, quiet. The Scottish and German traits really don't take too much presidence over me. You can see those traits in my older sisters. But I love my heritage. All of those three emphasized give me the boost in life that I need. I'm calm, collected, and very reserved; yet, I'm not a prune. My Irish and Italian traits get activated, and I'm playful and talkative..gives me character. Plus, I love the Russian heritage for the dark features ~_^ So, it all balances out.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic Webb Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Well, I'm an interesting blend of Black and Blacker. :p Seriously, I consider myself African-American and Creole. For those of you who don't know, Creole is a term used to describe the descendants of the original French settlers in the Louisiana Territory-- what is now the Southern region of the United States. It's not to be confused with the similar group, Cajun, which consists of descendants of exiled French-Canadians who migrated to the Louisiana Territory much later. Creole is also (although rarely) used to describe the descendants of Spanish settlers in the same area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad was born here in the States after his parents moved here from Japan. I don't think I really need to tell you guys what my features look like. I have jet black hair, I am fairly short (only 5'2") and have brown almond shaped eyes. It's funny, my mom has been here for decades but she still has a super thick Japanese accent. Most of time I have to translate for her even when she is speaking english! Many people can't understand the accent. Oh well. My husband's roots is a mixed bag of German, Swiss, French and a dash of Native American. I find a mixed heritage very interesting. He has fair skin, brown hair and beautiful blue eyes. His family has been in the States since the early 1800's. He pretty much considers himself just an American. He has been so far removed from his roots that I guess you can say he has been replanted here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I've been in New Zealand since I was 8 months old and I've experience little of the kiwi culture, yet I never got involved with much Chinese either. How I managed that is a mystery. Good thing I can speak Cantonese, a smidgen of Mandarin but I can not read nor write ^^" EDIT: Just a bit more on the HK vs China, apparently people from China look different to people from HK.

Even tho they have been here 10 years before I was born (I am 15 btw). Most of my hispanic friends would rather speak English than Spanish. I think that is pathetic and sad.

Heh, after I think about it, when it comes to the history of my heritages, they both don't have many positive sides. Because, you know, the Polish were tourtered for years and millions of them died in the Holoucaust, and then Ireland has the potatoe famine and the Catholic/Protestant battle, too.

Retribution Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 My father had two African American parents, making him 100% African American (with slight trace ethnicities thrown in the mix far back.) My mother had a white (Scottish... I think) mother, and an African American father. She's 50% black, 50% white. This makes me 75% African American, 25% White American. Heh. White American... sounds so wrong, but that's what there is on the standardized questionarres. Aside from being black and white, my (biological) brother has extremely Asian eyes. It's really strange, as I don't know anyone in my family who was Asian. At all. But I guess that's cool. My aunt-by-marriage is 100% Korean. I love making people think I'm Asian, telling them that she's my biological aunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Dagger Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I'm half-Polish, half-Korean. Some people think I look Asian, some don't--when I was little, strangers often assumed that my mother was my babysitter. I guess the fact that she looked really young then (and still does, actually) probably added to the confusion. I used to understand quite a bit of Korean, but it sort of flew out of my head or something after I began learning to read in English. The race polls on standardized tests are pretty annoying, especially if they don't let you pick more than one option (or if they include bizarre choices like "multicultural"--since when is that an ethnicity!?). ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[And kimchi.][/i] [color=darkslateblue][size=5]ROCK ON.[/size] :) Anyways, I'm Korean (obviously) and I'm proud to say...I eat kimchi on a daily basis. :3 It is quite good if you Americans get used to the smell. XD Excuse the discrimination, there. Hm. Koreans. We are pretty dang cool people. I'm an odd one because most of my friends are white (Koreans in the whole Atlanta area tend to stick together in this massive Korean group), but I still like to hang out with Koreans. Most of us are proud to be asian (You'd laugh at all the people at our high school who want to be Korean, so they ask us the 'dub' them Korean. The initiaiton is to be able to twiddle your pen in a circle with two fingers, LOL) and we're supportive and all that junk. Some downsides: I tend to dislike the 'FOBS' [Fresh-off-the-Boat], basically Koreans who just moved to America, because most of them have this very irritating America-sucks-Korea-Owns-Everything attitude. Once I heard one of them say she didn't care about the election because 'American wasn't her real country' and I wanted to slap her. A lot. Another 'bad' thing...I have to go to Korean school every Saturday. I've went there since what, Kindergarten? I'm fluent in Korean [which gives me another cool thing: I'm bilingual!], so basically I just go to Korean school now to learn evil grammar things and read poems and stuff. Fun. And then there's the racism...bleh. A lot of Koreans my age (and parents) expect all Korean guys/girls to marry other Korean guys/girls...I think I'm the only one in the group of Koreans I hang out with that would marry another race. And a lot of Koreans (in the Atlanta area, as far as I know) tend to not like Japanese people at [i]all[/i]. Or white people... *shrug* It's understandable for me, though.

When I was young, I spoke Icelandic fluently. However when we moved to the U.S., I forgot it all :( . Someday I would like to get a comeplete backround check on both my parents sides.

MissWem Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Well, at least I can make this short and just say I'm purely Hong Kongnese or however you say it :P My mum did tell me which part of China my ancestors were from but I can't quite remember.... Seriously, I'm Chinese but just about every Chinese will have a problem being grouped into being from China. For goodness sakes, I'm from Hong Kong not China, that's completely different XD Although culture wise I'm lost. Even though I've been in New Zealand since I was 8 months old and I've experience little of the kiwi culture, yet I never got involved with much Chinese either. How I managed that is a mystery. Good thing I can speak Cantonese, a smidgen of Mandarin but I can not read nor write ^^" EDIT: Just a bit more on the HK vs China, apparently people from China look different to people from HK. Supposedly people from HK are better looking. But that could be because the adults I know are slightly prejudice.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shugo54 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 [COLOR=Navy][FONT=Book Antiqua]hmmmmm. Well I am pure Chapin. Both my parents were born in Guatemala. I would have expected to be a bit tanner but No. I am not that Tan at all. I am very white but I still am Tan. I am a pure Meztiso.A meztiso is a type of culture that was created when Spanish/English settlers came to Central America and raped the ingigenous people. It's a sad story really. My roots lie in rape *sigh* how sad. I speak Spanish and English fluently. I mostly speak spanish to my parents because they dont know English yet. Even tho they have been here 10 years before I was born (I am 15 btw). Most of my hispanic friends would rather speak English than Spanish. I think that is pathetic and sad. They say they are pure latinos and yet they dont act like it. They use their Heritage as an Image. it's really pathetic.[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Shears Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Since my last post didn't really justify much... My mom's side is Irish, dad's side is Polish. I kinda have the Polish look; dark-ish hair, the longer nose. Both my parents have brown eyes, so I dunno where my blue eyes came from. Heh, after I think about it, when it comes to the history of my heritages, they both don't have many positive sides. Because, you know, the Polish were tourtered for years and millions of them died in the Holoucaust, and then Ireland has the potatoe famine and the Catholic/Protestant battle, too. I really like Polish sausage. It's good, for those who haven't tried it. -the one and only[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retribution Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 My father had two African American parents, making him 100% African American (with slight trace ethnicities thrown in the mix far back.) My mother had a white (Scottish... I think) mother, and an African American father. She's 50% black, 50% white. This makes me 75% African American, 25% White American. Heh. White American... sounds so wrong, but that's what there is on the standardized questionarres. Aside from being black and white, my (biological) brother has extremely Asian eyes. It's really strange, as I don't know anyone in my family who was Asian. At all. But I guess that's cool. My aunt-by-marriage is 100% Korean. I love making people think I'm Asian, telling them that she's my biological aunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I'm half-Polish, half-Korean. Some people think I look Asian, some don't--when I was little, strangers often assumed that my mother was my babysitter. I guess the fact that she looked really young then (and still does, actually) probably added to the confusion. I used to understand quite a bit of Korean, but it sort of flew out of my head or something after I began learning to read in English. The race polls on standardized tests are pretty annoying, especially if they don't let you pick more than one option (or if they include bizarre choices like "multicultural"--since when is that an ethnicity!?). ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Harris Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I am about a quarter Irish, a quarter English, a quarter French and a quarter German. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleanor Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 [i]I am full-blooded Korean. If you ask me North or South, I'm afraid I'm going to have to slap you with some random large solid vegetable. [And kimchi.][/i] [color=darkslateblue][size=5]ROCK ON.[/size] :) Anyways, I'm Korean (obviously) and I'm proud to say...I eat kimchi on a daily basis. :3 It is quite good if you Americans get used to the smell. XD Excuse the discrimination, there. Hm. Koreans. We are pretty dang cool people. I'm an odd one because most of my friends are white (Koreans in the whole Atlanta area tend to stick together in this massive Korean group), but I still like to hang out with Koreans. Most of us are proud to be asian (You'd laugh at all the people at our high school who want to be Korean, so they ask us the 'dub' them Korean. The initiaiton is to be able to twiddle your pen in a circle with two fingers, LOL) and we're supportive and all that junk. Some downsides: I tend to dislike the 'FOBS' [Fresh-off-the-Boat], basically Koreans who just moved to America, because most of them have this very irritating America-sucks-Korea-Owns-Everything attitude. Once I heard one of them say she didn't care about the election because 'American wasn't her real country' and I wanted to slap her. A lot. Another 'bad' thing...I have to go to Korean school every Saturday. I've went there since what, Kindergarten? I'm fluent in Korean [which gives me another cool thing: I'm bilingual!], so basically I just go to Korean school now to learn evil grammar things and read poems and stuff. Fun. And then there's the racism...bleh. A lot of Koreans my age (and parents) expect all Korean guys/girls to marry other Korean guys/girls...I think I'm the only one in the group of Koreans I hang out with that would marry another race. And a lot of Koreans (in the Atlanta area, as far as I know) tend to not like Japanese people at [i]all[/i]. Or white people... *shrug* It's understandable for me, though. Eh...anyways, I love being Korean. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juke Box Hero Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I can almost say I am a pureblooded Scotsman... but no. I am 70& Scots, 20% English, and 10% German. I arbitratily picked those percentages... so I may be way off. Anyhoo... I am the typical Anglo-Saxon/Western dude.. 5'11", (although I like to say 6'), emerald green eyes, jet black/suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper dark brown hair, and a lean figure. I also have an elf ear... lol. My left ear is really pointy! And no, it wasn't a car accident, just genes. One strange thing is, my cheekbones are really high, but they aren't prominent... I am never asked where I am from... lmao!
