That about covers it.

I have two of those in common with you, although I've been told one of them is not actually a legitimate ethnicity but more of a political tool.

I have Irish, Scottish, English, and German ancestry. This means I likely also have DNA originating in Scandinavia, taking into account the ethnic genesis of the Germanic peoples and the history of England. It boils down to Celtic and Germanic, with a dash of Gallic romance.

Long story short: I'm a white guy.

I do. He didn't admit it either. I don't think there is anything wrong with pointing out how ethno-centric this forum can be. I also wasn't talking exclusively to you, so why bother to respond if you don't care for my comment? :roll:

1400 years ago, this man of great renown was among the most powerful men in Arabia. His children were highly sought after among all the greatest families of the Middle East. Soon, much of the nobility were descended from the Prophet. In Islamic Spain, the nobilities of the Muslim kingdoms intermarried a lot with the Christian kingdoms. The blood of royal and aristocratic families disperses quickly throughout Europe. And a ot of people are in fact descended from the royal families. And these are just the more high-profile routes of descent.

I appreciate the fact that you think this is true, given that you are muslim and you may have told this by an imam or something, but that is false. I could say the exact same thing about a medeival Chav from Milton keynes! I am descended from Vikings not some self rightious gobshite from Arabia, pardon me for my harshness.

Northern, Western, Eastern (Non-Slav), and arguably Southern European.

Northern = Norse-Swedish (father's side), which lived in England for a while.
Western = My father's side (Scandinavian) is partially English... arguably the German-Austrian side (mother's) of my family too.
Eastern = East Prussian and Austrian (possibly Hungarian)
Southern = Austrian... maybe (not sure if that's considered "Southern" European, which I generally consider Mediterranean).

I would have chosen central instead of eastern, were it an option, but...

Idk if I consider Austria "Western European". I'm not cultural historian, but I've always thought of Austria-Hungary as a gateway to eastern Europe (the gates of Wien was the farthest west the Ottoman Empire ever reached). But yeah, you're right that it isn't "Eastern European"... these categories ("Eastern" and "Western" "European") don't make a lot of sense for ethnic taxonomy... I identify my ethnic heritage more as "Germanic", "Scandinavian", and "Semitic", than "Western European".

I believe the Nordic Countries are considered "Northern European," so are British Isles and Ireland by some, others consider it Western Europe. Austria, Germany are both Western Europe according to the UN. So you'd be Western European and Northern European.

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear communist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a humanist. 
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realistic egalitarian with several strong convictions.
