[MR. LEE'S]

i have many- i mean me myself doesn't even confirm about my ethnicities

[starrynight288]

I know a guy thats 33% Phillipino 33% Portugese 33%guyanese so that means hes 1/3 asain 1/3 white 1/3 african pretty cool though

[agnes.]

yeah that annoys me a lot. personally i only trace back until my parents lol.

[GeneralMarshmallow]

i'm 3/4 japanese and 1/4 taiwanese, but you could still see the chinese part of me though the majority of my face is very japanese. my mom looks like she's full taiwanese.

btw, i never understood the whole japan obsession? i'm japanese and in all honesty, who wants to be japanese? to me they're just like any type of asian.

[iyagi]

As far as I know, I'm 100% Chinese, a mix of mainland and Hong Kong ancestors. Mostly Cantonese speaking areas like Toi-San, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen if I remember correctly.

Wish I knew more about my background ): my mom says as far back as she can remember, we're totally Chinese lol. I always have a kernel of hope that maybe there's some Taiwanese or something else in there haha. Then again, Chinese heritage is usually pretty straightforward and from a solid bloodline if you're really traditional like my parents.

[green.teax]

100% Chinese.
A lot of people think I'm mixed or not Chinese at all, since I have brownish hair.
Apparently, I could be descended from Mongolians from my mom's side and a 少数名族(national minority/ethnic group) from my dad's side. My last name is really rare, and most other people that have it is a national minority/ethnic group so yeahs. People think my dad isn't Chinese either. They say,"How come you're Chinese is so good?" to him all the time. = =

[Liandon]

My friends are not trying hard when they tell me all of their ethinicies.
Is it so wrong to be proud (not egoistical) of all of the things you are?
Unless you are trying to make it sound cool.
It's really lame if you do it because you want to sound exotic, as honestly, it really doesn't.

I'm 100% Korean.
Mom is from this small village - I forget xDD
Dad is from Seoul. Although, people ask if my dad's Phillipino(spelling...D:) all the time.

[xChristineee]

Lol. I could rant on this, but I won't.



I'm Vietnamese for the main part. 25% French... and I believe my great-grandmother was Chinese... Who knows. My mom's half french/half viet, dad's viet

[NEEKA902]

Yeah, that does bother me.

I'm half chinese (hk) and half caucasian (canadian/scottish)

[LiSAiSViPx3]

I'm Canadian & Chinese . o-o?

[akanesan]

Oooh yeah... sometimes it annoys me, lol
other times it amazes me? O.o;;
I met someone who looked typically african american, but his mother was japanese! could not tell, lol, at all x_x;;;; go me! xD

Anyways...I'm
Ethnicity: 50%Korean 50% Chinese-Malaysian
Nationality: American

Everyone thinks I'm one or the other

[cerys]

Lol yes, that is absolutely annoying and comes off as 'fake' - when people list a bunch of ethnicities to appear exotic (especially when a lot of the times, it is an obvious lie). I don't mind 1/4's and the like, when it is truth, but when it is BLATANTLY fake then.. lol.

I've always regarded myself as Australian. Otherwise, Chinese if we are talking about ethnicity (which is the conversation in this thread).

However, I think that for everyone, it's rare to have stemmed from just one ethnicity. Looking at genealogy and along the family tree, there are probably instances where ethnicities have mingled.

[pico]

u just listed ur own ethnicity, therefore u calling yourself silly.
well i dn't think it's silly... it's interesting fact to know...

[eloquence]

I'm from Eritrea ( don't know it? search it up. ), Italy & Yemen.
I'm African, European, & Arab.

The Kingdom of Italy created Eritrea btw~

My Dad is full Eritrean. Mum - half Italian & Yemeni.

[Jaejoong's wife]

My paternal grandfather hails from China, maternal grandmother's half japanese.

From what i know, I'm raised according to Chinese lifestyle, so I identify myself as so.

If people wanna break it down so much, I'm 50% Cantonese,25% Fujian and 25% Kyoto. There.

[eledoremassis02]

lol I know what you mean, otherwise everyone wouldn't be Cherokee lol

On my 411 I list Native American, German, and Irish as they are what I mostly am lol I have like english and russian but it's sooo little I don't count it.

Hey if I go back enough.... like my great great great grandfather x 20,000 years ago, I'm Asian!!! As Native Americans crossed the Bering strait

Acculy alot of west coast tribes got alot of Japanese in them since boats in Japan got lost and ended up in Washing state area, and they traced Japanese DNA too around the Dakotas....well what ya know!

[RockStar17]

I'm 3/4 Filipino and 1/4 European (from my mom's dad). I don't know exactly what that 1/4 is, so I just say I'm Filipino.

[Mochiin]

Im 1/4 fulani, 1/4 french, 1/8 itallian, 1/8 irish, 1/2 korean

Mom: A french fulani
Dad: An Irish/Itallian Korean
O_O''
I look like.
idk.
a persom

[MangoStar]

On my mom's side, African-American/Irish, I did hear something about some Native American blood but I won't even claim that. On my dad's side, just plain ol' Black American. However, I'm always mistaken for a Dominican or a dark-skinned Puerto Rican x.x

[joogrlpekaun]

I don't like to list all the ethnicities that mixed in my family's history even when people ask out of curiosity because yeah, it sounds like a lie or like I'm trying to sound exotic or something and trying to claim heritage that really doesn't have any practical or cultural meaning at this point. I know exactly what you mean, OP, which is why I don't do it without prompting or pretend to have any real connection to any of those ethnicities. I'm just a white American mutt with distant splashes of color, that about sums it up. The truth is my family is just so crazily mixed when it comes to ethnicity and our history on my dad's side especially is such a mess that I only even know the real percentage from two ethnicities out of more like ten.

But since you did ask...I'm probably mostly German because I have a large dose on both sides of the family, but I don't even know the percentage on EITHER side, so I can't actually say how much. The one thing I know with absolute certainty is that I'm 1/4 Polish from my mother's side. Thank you for one unmixed grandparent out of four! The rest is a mess of three different Native American tribes (Osage and Cherokee from Dad, 1/8 some northern American/southern Canadian tribe from Mom's side), Dutch, French, African-American, and who knows what the hell else might have made its way in there at some point. The most significant are the German, Polish, and Native American. At this point, who even cares about that, much less the rest?
