NationStates Jolt Archive

I was just curious to see how nationstaters would ethnically identify themselves. I´ve tried to make the list as comprehensive as possible but I´m sure I´ll receive some flak for making some sort of politically incorrect distinction. Let´s just go with it this time, will you please ;) ?

White.

I prefer a touch of blush, and just a hint of mascara ;)

It's totally ethnic, too. It has a French name. http://i.imdb.com/Photos/CMSIcons/emoticons/basic2/yes.gif

My skin is kinda pinkish...

I´ve tried to make the list as comprehensive as possible but I´m sure I´ll receive some flak for making some sort of politically incorrect distinction. Let´s just go with it this time, will you please ;) ?is there supposed to be a poll or something?

Polish

Polish

A bit ironic, considering the fact the post before you was about a poll... and your Polish... oh the punnage.

As for me, I'm a shmorgasboard of different things:

Italian, Scottish, Native American, German, Norwegian, French Canadian, Swedish, Finnish... and a few others I don't remember.

I look Caucasian though.

I'm ethnicly New Zealandish.



Well, more whitebread, chicken eating honky..

My mom is white, my dad is Asian.

Polish

As in fingernail or toenail?

Irish-English-Scottish and slightly French.

But no Welsh thank the FSM;)

My mom is white, my dad is Asian.
I'm the other way around. :)

Pale

I'm a half-chink, or off-white if you will.

"Latino" isn't really European.

Part Italian, part greek, part Arab, part German. not all equal percentages, but they are all there.

My dad's family is Polish, my mom's hails from Iraq, originally.
I'm Canadian.

off-whiteThat should so be an official category. That, or eggshell.

I honestly never understand the North American (for it is mainly North American) 'fascination' with 'ethnicity' and 'heritage'.

It baffles me. It really does.

Human - mostly.

My ancestry is apparently half German and Dutch, a quarter Italian (my grandmother was born in Argentina to Italian parents, moved to Italy as an infant, and then came to America when she was maybe two or three, in the 1920s), and a small percentage Cherokee (like 1/32 or something like that). The rest is a combination of other European groups, which I'm not sure about.

You consider this a north american thing? No offense or nothing but aren't you, ya know.....German?

It's a very modern and progressive nation now to be sure, but I don't think it's entirely fair to label the North American continent as the place that's generally been most concerned with ethnicity...

Yeah, because I was clearly referring to the 1930s.

And no, I'm not German.

Thats cool I find it a weird question too. Not so much on this forum where we talk about racism and politics because its kind of relavent. But in real life its an odd question.

Well, I certainly don't share it but I guess I can understand it. I mean, you can see where it would come from, considering that, with the exception of the native peoples, the US and Canada are nations made up exclusively of pretty damn recent immigrants.
I mean, when most people's families didn't even live there 200 years ago, it's easy to see that it's still a pretty big and interesting topic for them.

Something to do with the fact that they are still a very young country and harking back toi ethnic roots seems to give them a feel of historicity. I mean they do consider any building dating back to before the 1890's or so to be pretty much an ancient monument.

Well, you come from a comparatively homogenous society.

Also it's the logical outgrowth of identity politics been given so much weight in the US.

And no, I'm not German.

Ah, but are you a hun?

I'm the other way around. :)

I'm a half-chink, or off-white if you will.

Half Asians, unite!

The same applies to Brazil, but we just don't give a damn. What does the ethnicity matter? The specific family or even nationality may matter, but not the general group of humans that you happen to be lumped in with by chance.

The concept of 'race' is false. :D
Genetically, all modern humans are identical. Any physical differences that are visible are merely the result of micro-evolution, or environmental adaptation. Skin colour, eye colour, hair texture, and features such as nose shape, height, breadth or any other possible 'racial characteristic' you can think of is purely superficial.

That being said, it can be fun to trace your roots, I am Choctaw, French and Greek, with a bit of Mexican Indian (Mayan) thrown in - and I live in Australia - what a great world where we are able to travel and witness the amazing variety of cultures and people who practice them :)

Hmmm...still seems odd, even still.

i live in new mexico. i consider myself anglo (as opposed to hispanic, black or indian).

my mothers parents immigrated from lithuania, my fathers parents were from maine and nova scotia.

Well, my ancestors were all Eastern European jews (Russia, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia are the ones I'm sure of). Being Jewish, I suppose if you go waaaay back I'm Middle Eastern as well.

Fair point.

50% Croatian/25% German/25% Scottish

Yeah, because I was clearly referring to the 1930s.

And no, I'm not German.

....woah, I totally wasn't quoting who I thought I was quoting. Totally misdirected comment, I thought you were someone else, heh.

Ah, but are you a hun?

Ah, good old Northern Ireland.

Let's just say that I'm MOSTLY Irish...Beyond that...I really don't know, nor do I particularly care. The ethnicity of my forebears may be intresting, but not particularly important.

....woah, I totally wasn't quoting who I thought I was quoting. Totally misdirected comment, I thought you were someone else, heh.

What, you meant to yell at me instead?

25% Basque 25% French 50% Spanish


Iberian French?

....woah, I totally wasn't quoting who I thought I was quoting. Totally misdirected comment, I thought you were someone else, heh.

Ah, ok. Who was it aimed at?

I just bought a most fabulous new mascara. *nod* One flutter of my eyelashes will blow the strongest man off his feet.
It's totally ethnic, too. It has a French name. http://i.imdb.com/Photos/CMSIcons/emoticons/basic2/yes.gif

oooooooooooooo, what colour? black? dark blue? brown? I love dark blue mascara. *nods* :)

I think I'm the only East Asian female who posts regularly on this forum, though I could be wrong.

oooooooooooooo, what colour? black? dark blue? brown? I love dark blue mascara. *nods* :) Black, blue looks terrible on me. I don't actually have it yet - it's really expensive, so I bought a sample size on eBay first to test it. :p But it's all fancy and stuff, and I just know it's gonna look most fabulous. *nod nod*

What, you meant to yell at me instead?

actually....yes. It seemed like an odd comment for you to make. I have no idea how i read that to be you. I think you were right above.

I was born in australia, im half irish, quarter serbian, quarter French.

I can pull off any colour of mascara other than dark brown, which makes me look like I'm trying to hard to be a white person. The expensive stuff are always so fabulous and pretty. If the average woman could only afford that kind of make up.

Speaking of which, a girl at my school lost her make up kit and actually went on the announcement to ask the school to look for it, and said that there would be cash rewards for anybody who found it. She made the people who lose ipods at school sound smart.

50% Calabrese, 25% Napolitan, 25% Milanese. 100% Italian-American.

Probably the last generation in my family that can make that statement :cool:

...how much can makeup really cost?

Chinese British... although no one in our family is British, from Britain, or has been to UK. I just say the British part so people don't mistake me for an American... in the states. :confused:

I am a bona-fide brothuh*.
*white boi

...how much can makeup really cost?

The average skin care set from name brands cost about $100-200
foundation = ~30
lipstick = ~30
eyeliner = ~30
mascara = ~40
eyeshadow = 20 - 50
and that's only the stuff I would buy. There's also nail polish, face powder, blush, skin toner, cover-up, that eyelash squeezer thing that I'm afraid to use because I might poke myself in the eye, make up remover, facials, extra skin care stuff, etc. etc. etc.

So if you're an avid make up user, it would end up being about $500-$1000

Blue doesn't work for me either. I stick to shades of black and occasionally very dark brown.

I actually have the Ferrari of eyelash squeezer thingies, the Shu Uemura one, but take it from me: it's not all it's cracked up to be. Or maybe my lashes just suck, who knows.

The coveted new mascara would cost about $30, full size.

Oh, and make-up is not even the actually expensive part. Skincare is where it really gets crazy.

Did you know they make one that's 24k gold? My crazy friend has it. :p

Did you know they make one that's 24k gold? My crazy friend has it. :p Okay, that is crazy.

I wish the poll was open so I could see who else here is an aboriginal :P

I am of german, english, french and irish ancestry. I associate myself more with my german ancestors as I have a german surname and still celebrate some traditional holidays.

Okay, that is crazy.
Yep, it comes with its own carrying case. Personally I think her eyelashes look the same when she uses it as when she doesn't, but she swears she can see a difference. Me, I'd rather spend $30 on something else.

A lot.
Advantage to having black hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and eyes, I guess...

I'm scared to use the eyebrow squeezer things. Watching other people use it makes me feel weird. I'm scared that something that menacing would come close to my eyes.

Yeah, skincare gets so ugly it's scary. I can't afford Clinique stuff anymore and it makes me feel sad. :(

Let's see... I'm half Russian, but I'm Jewish by inheritance, so I think it's safe to assume that there's some mid-east heritage mixed in there as well. I'm also part Irish, part Scottish, a few other European nationalities mixed in there as well, and part Seminole (Which is a type of native american, for those in other countries).

roughly 75% German 25% Norwegian

Other: I'M FREAKING WHITE OKAY???

Seriously, I'm scottish-irish.

Norwegian, german, dutch.

I wish the poll was open so I could see who else here is an aboriginal :P

I voted for it among others, my great-grandmother was American Indian, iirc.

Irish and Tsitsistas.

Ireland, and.. um.. It's either Poland or.... um.. Lithawhatty.

Wait, what?

Ireland, and.. um.. It's either Poland or.... um.. Lithawhatty.

Why on earth does everyone think that?!

Interesting..

Mostly Western European, with a dash of North American - which shows up as a recessive trait in me, but not in my four siblings.

Mom is from Taiwan.
Dad is from Hong Kong.
I was born and raised here in Canada.

So that makes me Chinese-Canadian!
So, ethnically East Asian.
:eek: ;)

My parents were from vietnam and I lived my whole life in the United States.

New York American of Sicilian and Puerto Rican descent.

Mixed Germanic, Polish and English ancestors who settled in the North East US and Ohio.

Mostly German
Then Scotts Irish
Irish
Scottish
English
Welsh
Breton

Supposedly there's Manx and Cornish in there, too, but I doubt that you would be able to know for Cornish because it was pretty well integrated into England. It seems like someone just wanted to say "I'm everything Celtic!" to me.

Very similar to Andaluciae, actually: German, Polish, English and also French. In other words, I'm white.

Irish, German, Lichensteinian(er?), Austrian.

...how much can makeup really cost?

You'd be surprised... you can spend anywhere from $3-27 dollars for a lipstick, depending on brand.

I am 70 percent German, 20 percent Scottish, and ten percent Spanish.

A mix of Etruscan, Roman, Kelt, Goth and Slavic, most likely.

That is, 100% Italian.;)

Mutt honky american. I know I've got some Irish in me, but as my mom was a cuckoo's egg (which makes me a grandson of a bitch, technically speaking), I really have no knowledge of a quarter of my background.

White, with a Austrian mother and Swedish father. I guess I'm pretty much the Nazi ideal :( Life's a bitch when you can't get a proper tan...

I am an American. A Minnesotan.
My father's side of the family comes from Germany and from England through Jamaica.
My mother's side is mostly Irish with some French.

European other? European OTHER?

I'm Alemannic German and Galician Ukrainian.

I'm Bosnian Serb, Croatian, a tad bit of Austrian (waaay back) and Russian (but my guess would be Ukrainian since that part is supposedly from where Ukraine is today).

European: Irish-British.

A bit ironic, considering the fact the post before you was about a poll... and your Polish... oh the punnage.

As for me, I'm a shmorgasboard of different things:

Italian, Scottish, Native American, German, Norwegian, French Canadian, Swedish, Finnish... and a few others I don't remember.

typical yank. thats stupid. you can only be a mix of two, fucktard.

me. i'm irish.

A mix of Etruscan, Roman, Kelt, Goth and Slavic, most likely.

That is, 100% Italian.;)

I almost misread one as "Eutruscan".

Me, I'm American/European... Scots-Irish, English, German, Dutch, and Sioux. :)

In other words, white with a trace of Native American.

Polish.

I'm a true Brit which means I'm a true mongrol Haha.

I am white English, but come from an English Dad, and Anglo Indian Mum.

my immediate family are scottish but further back there is a whole mix up. but mostly from vikings and polish immigrants, and also the irish immigration thing to.

for make up i prefer Benefit, Chanel and Laura Mercier bands. they may be expensive but last much longer than the cheaper bands.

masacra colors i suit - black, brown, blue, olive, and purple.

fuck knows? who cares?

i was born in aberdeen, brought up in jersey, and i live in edinburgh. that's all i identify with.

[QUOTE=Peepelonia;12083069]I'm a true Brit which means I'm a true mongrol Haha.

Did you see the Channel 4 programme "How British are you"?

They asked loads of BNP Nazi a holes for samples of their dna, did tests and told them their true genetic make-up. most were from Eastern Europe, middle east, african influence, asia - all of them absolutely gutted.

i thought it hilarious. why is it white anti immigration/asylum seekers/daily mail readers believe that they are whiter than white? they forget the contribution of immigration to british history and economy and war efforts?

this dna testing should be made complusory to all brits and then they can form their views whether immigrants should be thrown out the conuntry.

Irish-English-Norman-Viking

Polish.

slav? i think thats the ethnic term. unless the other type. which i dont know the proper term is. prussian?

They asked loads of BNP Nazi a holes for samples of their dna, did tests and told them their true genetic make-up. most were from Eastern Europe, middle east, african influence, asia - all of them absolutely gutted.

anglo-celtic-balto-slavo-germanic.

typical yank. thats stupid. you can only be a mix of two, fucktard.

me. i'm irish.

Hahah typical Irish, what if his dad was half Irish and half Indian, and his mum was half English and half Polish, then that would mean he has Irish, Indian, English and Polish genes would it not.

Heh yeah I did see that, any Brit that knows the history of our Island nation, knows that we are all mongrols, Viking, Pict, Irish, Saxon, French(for gawds sake even French), Roman, and from the roman empire, we have captured peoples from all over the world that settledd here. True Brit, hahahah that does make me laugh. Gaaaa even the Scots came from Ireland for gawds sake.

they went back hundreds of years......50000 is a slight exageration.

Sooo the county of your parents birth has no respect on your origines?

Course they do, I mean yes you have a point your nationality is deterimined by where you were born. Yet we all have a soft spot for our roots. Would you tell a man of African/American origion that he has no right to say he is of Afrian descent because he was born in New York?

when i'm talking to black americans and they call themselves 'african american', i always reply, where in africa? if they cant answer, i rank them as just americans. my opinion is that if you dont know anything about a culture, you cant claim to be apart of it.

my opinion you cant claim more than 3 cultures. where your ma and da are from, plus where you grew up. mostly were you grew up.

its why in ireland we usually hate irish-american cause they usually know nothing about our culture and have a very vague claim to the heritage anyway. i'll accept any irish american who speaks irish. which is about 7 million in the usa, more than we have people here.

just looked up Wikipedia,

Ireland was first inhabited 8000 years agos, scotland 11000 years ago. it doesn't say where we came from really.

On my dad's side, English mostly with a bit of Scottish and Irish. On my mum's side, English Scottish and Ashkenzi(?sp) Jewish.

Plus, born in Scotland, living in England, so I'm a bit of a half-breed.

Then frankly in my opinion,your opinion is not worth much. It's not cultures we are talking, but origin. If you done a DNA test we could find out exactly what you ethnic origin is, and if it turned out that say you had some Indian in you, you could not say ohhh I can't have I know nothing of Indian culture, because the test would prove conclusivly your ethnicity. To say to a black American that he cannot say he has African in him is plainly a mistake, and I should imagine insulting aswell.

Ohh and with this bit of twaddle

Your racism shines out for all to see. Why are people so caught up in culture, you do know that if you just lived in another part of the world your culture would be differant? So culture is no more than an accident of birth, in the long run it means nothing, except yet anoter way for us to find differances and thus learn to hate each other because of them. Culture huh it is soooo dangerous and yet we are all ohhh we must protect our culture, rubbishm, what a load of rubbish.

Look at the words you used, you HATE Irish Americans, because they don't know your CULTURE, man that makes me feel sick.

I never really know how to answer this question, I am from America, my ancestors came here from Ireland and Scotland in 1909 and 1913 respectively, so we really haven't been here long, but long enough that I can't truly say that I am "Irish" unless you count my obvious Irish-like features.........

Irish Mother, English father. Pretty boring.

However, if I have a kid he/she will be an interesting mix of quarter Irish, a quarter English, a quarter Italian and a quarter Seychellian if that's a word. With a massive american influence too.

Such as general aweomeness :D

Such as general aweomeness :D

sure, my keen wit as well.

however I do have very pale skin, very green eyes, and very light strawberry blonde hair (when I am not dying it another color)

I'm mostly French and English, with a bit of Welsh. Considering the amount of ethnic mixing that has been going on within Europe for thousands of years, that makes me a jolly mix of Anglo-Saxon, Celt, 'Frank' and many other things I might never imagine.

I'm ethnicly New Zealandish.


So what would that be? Part Anglo-Saxon Pakeha, part-Maori, with a fair amount of Anglo-Australian, a bit of Irish, non-Anglo European, East Asian and Pacific Islander thrown in? ;)

:mp5: a mutt. english(w/germanic roots), scots-irish, french, dutch & cherokee. mix that all together and you have a drunken lover on the warpath.:upyours:

Irish, Scottish, and multiple Native American tribes make up most of my genes. There's also some English, French, German, and Scandinavian (most likely Swedish) from a long, long ways back.

Something to do with the fact that they are still a very young country and harking back toi ethnic roots seems to give them a feel of historicity. I mean they do consider any building dating back to before the 1890's or so to be pretty much an ancient monument.

We do? I must have missed that meeting. :rolleyes:

Look at the words you used, you HATE Irish Americans, because they don't know your CULTURE, man that makes me feel sick.

if i move to iran now. married an iranian. completely absorbed thier culture. if we have kids, i would consider them iranian with of irish inthem. my grandkids would then just be iranian.

Who fuckin' cares? Someone's race isn't important at all.

Oh, and there should be a "fuck you" option in the poll.

I'm an Oriental Asian one...

The majority of my ancestral lines are Han Chinese. A bit Korean and Mongol, because some of my ancestors ever married a few Koreans and Mongols centuries ago (remember the Mongol conquest over China; most Chinese have Mongol genes because the Mongols married many Chinese during the time).

And all of my grandparents came from China to Singapore.
