my friend brought up an interesting idea in class today; if you could be a member or combination of any race which would you choose and why?

I think I'd want to be more German, Irish or perhaps Israeli

Heck I could run fast and if I were to become a boxer I'd make millions!

I like my current mix just fine, but I would probably change the ratio so that I had a lower chance for certain health problems, and less pale skin :p

Something that involves a significantly lower risk of skin cancer...

Mabye Chinese. They have the best food.

I think we've just failed our party Charisma check, judging by this train of discussion.

Well I was going to choose being a nekomimi but you have forced me to change my mind.

I guess it's Klingon then.

I would like to be purely French. No mix or anything. Just French. (But I just HAD to end up being an American... With all these crazy backgrounds of everything from everywhere mixed in)

The Aryan race.

(As it is, I'm half Irish and half Italian, so i like to eat and i love to get drunk, which is fine with me;) )

I would like some more German in me. I'm half Scottish, three-eighths English, the rest mostly German.

.. perhaps IsraeliIsraeli???

You probably mean Semite. Because Israeli is not a race.

There's only one living race of human beings alive right now and that is homo sapiens sapiens - get a life!

How can you be a third anything? Maybe you mean 3/8.

I would prefer homo sapiens with a much higher level of melanin production in the integumentary system. Breaking out in blisters from just looking at pictures of the sun really sucks. Stupid defective genes. :(

Edit:

That's Homo sapiens.

Nope. Homo sapiens sapiens would be the race. Homo sapiens is simply the genus-species.
(If you're going to be pedantic, at least be correct.)

Homo Erectus :D

Again, that's simply a genus-species. But a bit more original. ;)

I choose H. sapiens idaltu, because at least then we could really have a racial dialog.

You know, I am glad to hang out at NS because I've learned something new today!
Thanks for mentioning the homo sapiens idaltu, seems someone found the missing link to our genetic granny ;)

Oh, you mean ETHNIC GROUPS!

I'll stay the way I am, Jewish Arab/Irish.

True, but improperly formatted binomial headings lie at the fount of sin.

I'll assume you mean ethnicity. Mine would be...


1/4 North Indian/Pakistani, 1/4 Armenian, 1/4 Welsh (or maybe Cornish), and 1/4 Lithuanian.

in reality, however, I am:

15/16 English, 1/16 Welsh :p

Ya know, it's one of the reasons I like it here too. It gives me something new to go scurrying around to research almost everyday.

I'd have more of my Dark Elf heritage show itself. Like maybe have pointier ears and reddish flecks in my eyes and greyish skin.
