<p>I know I have a lot of German blood on both sides, one side of my family being staunch German Catholics from Bavaria. There’s some Irish and English thrown in there too. On my dad’s side, I have most of that plus an obscure amount of Native American from the Miami tribe I think, and my last name is distinctly Scottish.</p>
<p>I am by far the most boring blend of ethnicities ever. I’d love to be like, French Canadian and Syrian or something pretty and cool.</p>
<p>I’m 1/2 Ethiopian, 1/4 Arab, and 1/4 Somalian.
I would never wish to change my ethnicity. I love that I have dark skin with Arabian facial features.</p>
<p>My ancestors were from Russia, my parents were from Pakistan, and I was born in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, I am a Russian-Pakistani-Arab. Go crazy. </p>
<p>If I could choose, I’d probably be Korean-Pakistani-Chinese-Arab. Haha, that’d be nice. Korean due to my current obsession with Kpop, Pakistani because it’s my country! :@ Arab because I don’t want to leave here and Chinese because I love those guys :P</p>
<p>Enough for ya? Nice question, anyway, haha. Got me into an ethnicity rant… :P</p>
<p>Asian American. But my blood is Chinese, my mom was born in Cambodia, my dad was educated in Canada, and born in Malaysia, and I used to live in Singapore. And I speak Japanese.</p>
<p>I consider myself an American Malaysian amidst all that. But on college apps, I tick all the above.</p>
<p>If I could change, I would want to be Thai or Japanese, or Korean. And maybe lived a bit in New Zealand. That would be like living a vacation.</p>
<p>Someone explain the difference between race and ethnicity because when I went to my yearly checkup I had to fill out a paper with separate questions for each… one of them the answer was white, and the other was like either hispanic, black, hispanic and black, or neither. I was like, refer to question one.</p>
<p>I’m Italian (mostly) and apparently Russian and Polish (probably one twelfth of half of a percent). Can one be British? I’ve never heard of that. My mom lived there half her life and her whole side of the family lives there.</p>
<p>Race is a genetic niche, whereas ethnicity is cultural. Members of an ethnicity however, can be, but don’t nessecarily have to be similar genetically. An ethnicity can be extremely vague or ambiguous in description. Things such as language, nationality, religion, or race can be used to describe ethnicity.</p>
<p>1/4 Hispanic (thank you AA), 3/4 European mixture</p>
<p>I’d definitely be Native American. Or else I sort of wish I was more Hispanic, because I don’t really look Hispanic but I identify with the culture a lot.</p>
