Bittersweet Candy Bowl

I must’ve been reading it and a post of yours talking about your locale at the same time and got the two mixed up. I am rather glad you have no idea what I’m talking about.

*Sigh* I guess i can forgive you for your faulty memory. <3

I’m American by nationality but my bloodline is 31/32 German and 1/32 Iroquois native American.

According to my uncle’s research into our family tree, my ancestors were of the first to emigrate from Germany as Quakers under religious persecution from the mandates to unify religion in the dutch territories, apparently we sacrificed a veritable fortune to get here as well, since some of our ancestors were vassals.

the 1/32 Iroquois comes from one of my great great grandmothers being 100% Iroquois, so imagine the shock my purely German family underwent when she showed up at the wedding ;D

Something like “The tribal convention is a few miles down the road.” “I know, but why would i want to be there? I’m getting married today.” “D :”

I’m a Native American (1/4) who resides in North Carolina (USA). The rest of the bloodlines are Finnish, Irish, Scottish, German, French and probably something else…

Celtic, German, Swedish, Native American.
lulululul so special
EDIT: I am such a ding. America, the usual.

AMERICA F*** YEAH!!

but seriously, american, born in alabama (roll tide! ) moved to VA at two been here ever since. Little bits of german and british. though my ancestors have been american since the civil war. Witch also happens to be around when this house was built. Oh say 200-220 years now. Got us in the paper. not anything to special though. just the bull run observer, a local paper.

California, USA. I can trace my ancestry to the original colonies, so I’ve given up recording my ancestor’s nationalities.

Oh, & I’m 1/4 English, 1/4 French, 1/4 German, 1/8 Italian, 1/8 unknown (I had a great-grandfather who was adopted with no known records of his actual parents).
@Aidinthel: Yay for more Californians

California loooove~

Notice how when asked about which country they are from, all americans actually answer abot their STATE and ocasionally their ethnicity? What is this, some type of hidden nation-wide feeling of shame? Though, of course, that could be justified…

@Lyucs: I’m terribly sorry for your recently decided doom. My only advice is to get out as fast as you can. That’s what I did.

Migrant: originally from wonderful (but sadly chaotic) Brazil, currently residing across the ditch from Taeshi.

We’re not ashamed, we’re just not used to other parts of the world having internet yet. n_n

@Migrant: If I were to say, I’m just ‘from the U.S.’, what picture would come to your head?

OUTERSPACE in trancendence and not the religon da game
in real life california

oh, Migrant transcended to a better life. xD
I’m currently trying to go to Japan to do my Masters Degree.
Kinda hard, thou.

Pure blooded Filipino hailing from Manila, Philippines who doesn’t understand much of my native language but totally excels in the English language. XD

@bigdogstan
As much as I dislike Hamilton, I must say that’s pretty sweet.

@ nameless: Texas! First image that’d come to the head would be some crazy dude from texas wearing a cowboy hat who can’t place mexico on the world map! That’s what all the USA is like, right? Hehehehehe.

No were not. >: (
First thing to my head is a map of the united states. And I’d bet that if you asked 20 texans where mexico is they’d tell you right.

@HB: Actuallly I saw a piece of research some time back where 45% of american high school students couldn’t even place the USA on a world map. more than 60% couldn’t place mexico and canada. 95% couldn’t place Iraq and afghanistan.

Also, chill mate, I’m just making fun

Wow, funny how I asked people’s nationality and they come out with the percentage of genes they have XD

I myself am probably mixed blood from various regions around the globe. Who’ll know.

@Lyucs: It didn’t feel right to say I’m “American” when that naturally means a lot of things. Like almost every country in the world, you’re rarely made up of just one nationality. Being part of the melting pot, especially in cities that had historically high immigration rates, usually means people come from some interesting backgrounds so it’s fun to hear about them. n___n; unfortunately, America was still a pretty new thing when my ancestors came over, so we were well entrenched in Pennsylvania by the time everyone else got here. Otherwise, it is very likely I would’ve been much less of a pureblood.

Actually, you can only have more than one nationality if you manage to get a passport for another country. You can have mixed ETHNICITIES, but most of the time only one or two nationalities. Also, as a general rule, someone’s place of birth and where they live tell more about who they are than their ethnicities do.
From what I understand, the US is a bit of an exception as it isn’t truly a “melting pot” of people from all over the world, but more of a mixed salad -> Several things mixed together, but you can still pick out and separate the ingredients into their groups if you want to. In Brazil, for comparison’s sake, people from different places married and had children much more frequently, resulting in a population which is mostly brown, with neither african, european nor asian ancestors being easily traced. Maybe that’s why no Brazilian says the state or city when asked where they’re from. The same is true here in NZ, though 90% plus of immigrants and decendants are British and hugely outnumber the native Maori decendant poplation.

And just because I feel chatty:
Of course the US = Texas stereotype is unfair (though funny!), but the same is true of anywhere. It’s not like all Kiwis are sheepshaggers (most of the population has already been urban for decades), Australians don’t fight crocodiles and wear those wierd cork hats on a daily basis and I’ve never seen anyone in Brazil wear fruit on their head. Still, Ozzies are ozzies, kiwis are kiwis and brazucas are brazucas. But americans can be californian, new yorkers, alaskan, texan……

I’m a thorough bred Dutchman, decended from potato farmers, sailors and boat builders
But i currently live in australia because of my dad who worked there for several years

Britain, born and bred. Except for the few years I spent in Spain/England. Argh, I can’t tell if Gibraltar would be English or Spanish.
And the latest government satellite maps suggest that Ninja lives in a house that can move independantly, much like Howl’s Moving Castle, but all over America.

United States, specifically snowy northern California

THIS IS THE WATTLE THE EMBLEM OF OUR LAND

”livin ina land down under, where women gro and men plunder”

@Raxki: Why do you say so? My mother would be able to kill me if that permits her to go there :asd: (obviously I’m joking… At least, hopefully :look: )

You have been watching How To Recognise Different Parts Of The Body a little too much, Johnny. ^_^

I posted that before I told you how much I absolutely love that episode.

But, to be fair, it is saved on my DVR. That and the Royal Episode are my favorites, I think.

I live in the US and have the ethnicity of:
Belgian
French
Congalese
Russian
Polish
Ukrainian

Also I am from New York and used to live Sleepy Hollow(Scary(not really))

My mother is Japanese. And my father is english. And I live in england. Where the weather is bad. And the taxes are high. If you’re going to england for a holiday. Go to Scotland. It’s nicer.

I’m from Lincoln in England. Not America, ENGLAND.

USA; the east coast.

Go to Edinburgh or Inverness. Avoid Glasgow at all costs.
London is a great city though, as are York and Manchester. And some of the country is nice. But i wouldn’t recommend England for a holiday.

pretty much from everywhere.

at the same time I take it?

I’m a pretty large mix.
Chinese and Japanese on my mother’s side.
English, German, French, Dutch, Irish, Scottish. Northern Irish, Welsh, and Italian on my father’s side.
Sorta like an everything bagel.
