Ah Molson.

I drank ridiculous amounts of that in Montreal. Beer of choice, everywhere we went.

I still swear that the Molson I find here doesn't taste the same as the Molson I had up there. Maybe I'm crazy, but damn it...!

I loved Montreal. Its about time I got back there again.

I picked White American, mainly because I'm white, and was born and lived in America my whole life. My parents have too. I thought the classification was accurate.
NES, SNES, PS1, N64, DC, PS2, GCN, Wii, PS3, 360, GB, GBC, GBA, GBA SP, PSP 3000, and 3DS XL

All this time I thought you were Chinese, or at least part Chinese since you mentioned you have Chinese relatives.

Well, I was raised in a Irish-Catholic community in the Midwest (USA). My surname is Scottish, and I work in an Italian restaurant. Yet I really like Cypress hill.

Call me crazy, but I never found these things a problem. Maybe it's because I'm basically 100% English, but I always considered these things to be as simple as marking down your race and the place you were born. If you're black and were born in France, I'd say you're Black European. If you're Asian and were born in Africa, you're an...Asian African? (lol confusing).


I'm sure plenty of you will disagree with me, but I was never too fussed about where peoples ancestry was from in regarding things like this. You were born and raised in Germany, you're German.


There are exceptions. If you spent most of your life in a country other than the one you were born in, I'd porbably class you under that - it's the culture you're most familiar with.


Anyhow, I ticked White European for those reasons. Even if i'd used my ancestry it would hae been the same anyway - I had a Belgian great great grandad, but he was the last membewr of my family from a country other than Britain that I know of.
