My whole family is pretty mixed up!! I am 1/2 black and 1/2 white (Irish). My cousins are 1/2 Korean and half white (I loovvve the Korean culture
smiles.gif
) and my (half) sister is black, mexican and philipino. We have all been really close since we were very young (my sis, my cousin and myself) and everytime we left the house my father would make a comment about us being the rainbow coalition!!
lol.gif


I understand what people are saying about being mistaken for other nationalities--I've been Puerto rican, mixed with Philipino or Korean (especially when I attended Korean church) I hear some crazy stuff! And no matter where we go, I always look like SOMEONE....Are u related to so and so? or Aren't you this person?...u look just like her. I love being mixed tho! Like I always say I have the best of both worlds!

Ok...my maternal grandfather's mother was French, what makes me 1/8 French and 7/8 German. My father is from Bolivia with his mother being a Native, which makes people joke about my Inka ancestors (it's not proven, though

). Unfortunately I got neither the dark eyes nor black hair or nice tan :confused:

I don't have a very interesting combination, lol. My Mom's family was mainly Irish (on her Mom's side), don't know about her Dad's side cause he took off. My Dad's side is German but I don't really know that part of the family. So I really only ever got to know my Irish relatives.

My Irish Grandma ended up marrying an Italian guy who was my Mom's Stepdad and she always said that Irish and Italian was a strange combo-but then I married an Italian myself, lol.

Other than that, I've heard Cherokee, Irish and Scottish coming from my moms side, and Black Dutch and maybe German from my Dad. The italian and choctaw are the only things I claim.

My mother is your basic American mutt mix of Western European descent- French and English mostly. My father is 1/8 Creek Indian (and he looks the part) and a mix of who-knows-what. I ended up with light green eyes, dark NC40-42 skin and dark hair. I look mostly like my dad, which isn't too bad.... except I ended up 5'2" instead of a nice statuesque 5'8" like my mom. LOL

1st gen American- parents are from West-Indian (from Trinidad). I look like a plain 'ol brown-skinned American. Although many people ask me without knowing if I or my family is from the Islands.

Both my parents were Indian, and both their parents were indian too, but i don't consider myself indian - i'm not a huge fan of the culture either
my mom was trinidadian indian (2nd generation), my dad is east african indian (1st generation), i was born in jamaica and spent the first few years of my life in jamaica and trinidad. I grew up in canada and the us and now live in the uk
i guess i'm a mixed up indian - i call myself a child of the world!

I am one half British, a quarter French and a quarter Swiss, along with some Irish and Scotish waayyy back. I mostly indentify with the French and Swiss (I'm in France right now and I was in Switzerland earlier this month). I'm a first generation Canadian so that is my citizenship, but I'm planning on getting both my French and Swiss and living over here for awhile.
