I'm more english than the Queen herself. But then she is part German...

I drink tea, eat crumpets, go hunting and shooting and can only handwrite in cursive. Most of all i accept that every other country hates me for historically being a bastard and probably going to war with them. O and my parents brought me up to hate americans (didn't work :p)

I remember when I had to fill a form from the American government, all the guys who were living with me in Florida were confused, we were supposed to mark our ethnicity.

Since we are Brazilians, and Brazil is in Latin America, we're actually "Latinos". But we all had different skin colors and so we had to ask an American friend how we should fill the form.

He told us that we should just consider our skin color. So I marked "white", a friend marked "black", and I really don't know what a "brownish" girl who lived with us chose.

We spent some good minutes discussing the matter. These forms are horrible.

P.S.: I still don't know what I'm supposed to mark in this poll.

Pfft, either you are our hat or we're your boots. You're our backyard or we're your front ditch. :lol:

BAH!

I thought this thread was about what each individual's interests, not their race.

Filed under not important.

I'm not American, so that won't work. I am part North American Aboriginal, but it's Native Canadian... which wasn't in the poll. I guess that would fit under Native American, since North American Aboriginals have freedom to live and work anywhere in Canada/USA without worrying about silly things like passports or work visas.

But... I'm only like 8% Aboriginal, so that doesn't work.

The rest of me is English/German/Irish. I mostly identify with the British culturally, so I guess that makes me white European? Then again, I'm very entwined with Japanese culture since I lived there for quite a while, my wife is Japanese and I party think Japanese (I think...). However, Japanese people are unlikely to ever consider me Japanese even if I became a citizen there.

I put white European, but that really isn't true.

Therefore, I am beer:

this silly poll wrote:East Asian ( Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Tawain, )
Taiwan is spelt wrongly, and you forgot to include Mongolia in East Asian (amongst other things, but that would make for a very long list).
