I'm a dual citizen between the USA and the Netherlands.

I'm 50% Dutch and 50% American, well italian actually because people from the USA aren't really from the USA.

Glad to see we're all mature enough to keep this thread from getting out of hand - it has potential to do so. That being said I am:

50% African American
25% Filipino
25% Chinese

I am an American by birth and 100% Portuguese by heritage (all four of my grandparents immigrated from Portugal to the USA just before WWI.) When people in the U.S. ask me what I am, I say Portuguese. However, if I am asked while on travel outside of the US, I say American.

Same here. I would not consider myself Irish if I went to Ireland; just American . It's weird that a geneologist was interested in my family and did a huge report on it.....came here on September 27, 1857 (almost 150 years )!

anthropologists would disagree with you on this. Not all agree.

We supposibly came from 1...yes 1 group of people that at one point had a population of only 10,000....and they migrated and as they did this, reproduced and settled. At least thats' what was on the History Channel !

Other than black pudding, I have no problem with Scots. And I do like Haggis.

Well, I'm Australian born and bred, my ancestors came here as free settlers quite a few generations ago (both sides of the family) and are mostly from Germany and Britain. But there's some Czech and Welsh in there as well.

So I'm...
45% German
45% British
5% Welsh
5% Czech
