heritages

fairieslight · #1 (**permalink**) 06-19-2006, 04:09 AM

okay, i was thinking today (which is a bad thing)
and i was wondering if people in other countries
have different heritages and stuff. I'm not even sure if
heritage is the right word, it might be nationality.
For example, i am german, dutch, irish, and a few other
things. And i was wondering if people from germany are
made up of any other nationalities, or if all germans are full
blooded german. Sorry if this doesn't make any sense, or if
this is just a really stupid question. And i apologize if i might
have offened anyone by my question.

hmm, i'm not quite sure what you're asking, but i think that a lot of people are mixed/ bi-racial

i'm bi-racial myself, i'm 7/8 filipino & 1/8 white (german i guess)

mm it depends on the country i guess (for instance in japan pretty much 99% of the population is ethnic japanese).. but i think the united states most definitely has the most diverse/mixed people. or if not the most we have a lot, especially since no one besides native americans are actually ethnic americans..er something : \ im not sure what that would be called.

i hope that made sense haha. sorry if i got something totally wrong, this is sort of confusing to me

im half polish (dad's side) and the other half is english, welsh, french, irish, and a million other european countries (mom's side)

sometimes i wish i was just from one place : (

I'm half British and half German.

Canada's full of crazy nationalities, lol. I used to know a guy who was half Indian half Chinese...

Most of my friends are asian, but the most amusing asian "mix" I've met is a half Chinese half Cambodian guy, lol. He only knew Cambodian though, as a language, not Chinese.

Not where I live ~.^ There's a very small Cambodian community here, but from what I've heard all their relatives live in California... rofl.

I'm 1/2 Chinese 1/2 Irish, although, I think the Irish is more like 1/3 Irish. I'm supposed to have some Russian and Comanche in me some how or another, but it's easier to just to leave it as half-and-half.

Everyone tells me I look hispanic.

yeah, aren't they racially the same? only mainland china houses the communists & taiwan the nationalists. so it's an ethnic difference not a racial one.?
