<p>I am Moldovan! Very proud of it</p>
<p>Pro: Two languages spoken in Moldova: Romanian AND Russian. </p>
<p>Con: No one knowing where my country is ; Mistaking me for a Mongolian ; Mistaken for a mail-order-bride</p>
<p>I’m Somali..</p>
<p>Pros: Food!,the parties,the culture,etc.</p>
<p>Cons:My parents homophobia! The fact that they really don’t like me hanging out with my non-Somali friends,overprotectiveness,people never guessing my ethnicity,and once I tell them,they say I don’t “look” African..</p>
<p>Chinese</p>
<p>Pros: Food
Two languages
Knowledge of shopping bargains (especially for electronics and media)</p>
<p>Cons: I’m compared to children of other families going into Yale and Harvard. I sometimes get ridiculed because I’m not up to that standard.</p>
<p>
^lol.

<p>Pre-Revolutionary African American, Pequot/Powhatan Native American, Pre-Revolutionary European American (English/German), Jamaican </p>
<p>Good-- Psshh, everything! My family is like the United Nations. I have family members from literally every ethnicity, so its fun to learn about other cultures and stuff. I couldn’t even name all the fun stuff about it if I tried. The food is awesome and all my family gets along really well. </p>
<p>Bad-- When my mom introduces me to people and they get that look on their faces like “Whoa! Where’d you come from?”
- Getting spoken to in languages I don’t understand because people mistake me for Hispanic, Pacific Islander, or Southwest Asian or something
– Filling out Ethnicity paperwork hahah.</p>
<p>There’s white kids wearing low rise jeans with their car windows open blasting music… hood rats, right? </p>
<p>Maybe people think you wanna be white because you look down on your own race? </p>
<p>I am no better than anyone in my race. I do understand were your coming from with the white kids. I will take note of that. My feeling is, I am no better than any person on this earth. I just may make better decisions or have better oppurtunities. Thats all I am saying.</p>
<p>Malaysian Chinese</p>
<p>Pros:
- Good fusion food! (sad to say I don’t like authentic Chinese food)
- I know 3 languages + dialects
- Culture is amazing.
- History is even more amazing!</p>
<p>Cons:
- People are stunned when I open my mouth because I don’t speak Chinglish/Manglish and I talk loud. (apparently Chinese peeps don’t talk loud)
- People doubt me when I tell them that I don’t know much Mandarin & can’t read the words. Then they start blabbing in Mandarin and laugh when I tell them I really can’t understand them.
- I’m expected to have a J-pop/whatever you call it style. Jeans & tees or sweaters are weird and considered “trying too hard to be white” (this also applies to my lack of knowledge in Mandarin & my fluency in English. BAH!)</p>
<p>Half Iranian, 1/4 English, 1/16 of each Scottish, German, Irish, and Swedish</p>
<p>Pros: I’m exotic looking. i also have extreme curves, but I don’t know if that’s part of my heritage or what. I tan really well</p>
<p>Cons: The terrorism crap. Dark hair… it’s everywhere. I typically get mistaken for Hispanic, and constantly get people speaking to me in Spanish.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not Ukrainian? Or are Ukrainian and Russian so similar there is little practical difference between the two?</p>
<p>Indian</p>
<p>Pros: food, family stuff (my parents aren’t going to kick me out when I’m 18 if I don’t want to leave–just stuff like that), and India is a pretty decent place to shop</p>
<p>Cons: the whole “supposed to be smart thing”, meeting 1000s of relatives when we go to India, indian parties (they bore me to death!), and the boys are generally not very sociable</p>
<p>Italian, German, English, Scottish, Irish</p>
<p>Pros: I have an excuse to learn the somewhat useless language of Italian (not as widely used as literally all the other languages [okay, not Latin] offered at my school)</p>
<p>Cons: The German comes from my paternal grandfather, so our last name is German. It’s a somewhat common German last name that a fairly famous Nazi had (not the most famous, but he was up there)</p>
<p>For the English, Scottish, and Irish stuff…the only effect it really has on me is the fact that I’m pale. That’s it.</p>
<p>Chinese</p>
<p>Pros: Clothes, everything comes cheap, smarts</p>
<p>Cons: Parents, hippies who like to harass me over China’s human rights record (what the hell did I ever do?)</p>
<p>I have a bunch of stupid white ethnicities that shouldn’t even get listed…
Pros - I’m pale, blue eyes, blondish hair
Negs - I’m white. Which is boring..</p>
<p>Lol I’ve avoided replying to this thread 'cause I’m sooo boringly white. But I’m gonna try to think of stuff 'cause I’m bored.</p>
<p>Ethnicity: nothing exciting… 3/8 Italian, 3/8 Russian, 1/16 Polish, 1/16 Belgian, 1/8 English? Or something.</p>
<p>Pros
– Since I’m white, people are more impressed with my accomplishments than the corresponding ones of my Asian friends. I mean, it’s not really a pro (more just a con of being Asian), 'cause it’s SOOO ridiculous and annoying! In Art 1, my really talented Asian friend and I were both working on a project, and both of ours were really good, and when someone came up and raved about mine I pointed hers out and he was like, “well yeah but she’s Asian!” :rolleyes:<br>
– My Italian family members, who live near me, always make amazing food!<br>
– We have amazing websites [like</a> this](<a href=“http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com%5Dlike”>http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com) dedicated to us… hahahaha!
– Get to date interesting, exotic races and experience culture. XD</p>
<p>Cons
– Boring.<br>
– Jewtalian nose. Mine isn’t bad, but it could have been. XP
– Feel like I have to prove myself often, since most of my friends are Asian overachievers.<br>
– White supremacists. 
(I know every race has supremacists, but still.) I recently discovered an internet forum called “Stormfront White Nationalist Community” and couldn’t stop looking at it out of morbid curiosity… it was disgusting.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>ha don’t worry i’ve been on there too..and I’m asian. it’s funny how in the “opposing viewpoints” section i see fellow asians (well they claim to be anyway) say things like “I am preparing to go back to China one day and hopefully make China a better place to live comparing with the current decline of the western civilization due to the multicultualism that has wipe out the foundation of this country.”</p>
<p>Good things: Immigrants to the US of this ethnicity are usually fluent in Spanish (or can at least carry a conversation in it) and since we’re a URM, we get AA and we stand out when we do good.</p>
<p>Bad thing: People usually have a prejudice that we don’t do anything good except lawns :(</p>
<p>Belgian/Luxembourgean/English. White as anything.</p>
<p>I’m like Patsygirl, the best thing is my blue/yellow eyes and blonde hair, but the worst is when Jewish people tell you you’d be saved by the Nazis. Kay…?</p>
<p>Russian</p>
<p>Pros: I get to travel and not stick out like a sore thumb, people think I’m some vodka-drinking cold-blooded badass, capable of withstanding subzero temperatures in my swim trunks. I’m initially expected to be a chess grandmaster and nuclear physicist.</p>
<p>Cons: People at times imagine me to be unfamiliar with U.S customs, or some sort of drunkard/communist.</p>
<p>Although, having no easily discernible accent, nobody really knows that I’m Russian, so I’m treated for the most part how any other light-skinned European/American is.</p>
<p>spanish, irish, scotish, german, native american (basically i’m white)</p>
<p>pros: fair skin that tans quickly, light freckles on my nose and cheek area, straight blonde hair, blue eyes</p>
<p>cons: people in my community seem to think that just because i’m white, i get everything i want, i’m rich, and i’m racist..three things that are absolutely not true</p>
