I like how you just made several options for white people and clumped native americans with aborigines and polynesians

Why must these polls be so Eurocentric?

Because NSG is mainly white/European, and the world is mainly Euro-dominated.

Pretty much. It should still be on the poll, though.

Anyways, I'm a mestizo (mixed Amerindian+European). My European heritage is (in no particular order) Spanish, Basque, Irish, French, German, English, Scottish, Dutch, and Norwegian.

Just your average stereotypical white guy (Irish, Scottish, British, English).

However there is a foreigner here and there in the family tree, if I didn't have so many Irish or Scottish ancestors I think I would be a mixture of everything.
This test is biased and has stupid questions, but anyways:
Old (from when my nation was founded):
Economic Right: 6.50
Social Libertarian:-3.67
New (11 December 2012):
Economic Right: 2.50
Social Libertarian: -5.23
Be aware that I am only so near to the centre of the economic axe because this test associates being right-wing with crony capitalism, trickle down, and letting business be held to lower standards than individuals under law.

I'm mixed similar to that too, I just don't like the mestizo concept so I don't identify as such, I'm Indio and European, not Mestizo

I feel you, bro. But we can't have separate options for Bantu, Aleutian Islander, and Civilized Southern Native American. There'd be just too many of 'em.

It made sense at the time.

Europeans > Mezistos > Mulattoes > Half-Native-Half-Africans > Africans > Natives

was basically how they laid it out. According to some bullshit a bunch of Italians cooked up, that was how logic (TM) worked!

I am a mixture of British, Swiss, Irish, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and mostly, Puerto Rican.

Yes, even though I am blond, blue eyed, I am still Puerto Rican y puedo hablar espanol.

However, I consider myself to be American.


So, yeah my background doesn't matter a whole lot to me because it is so mixed, there is not one part that I can single out for pride and heritage reasons. For this, I am American, and damn fucking proud of it.

Puerto Ricans have been fighting for the US since 1917, you all are Americans in my book.

And I'm mixed race too, so folks have been trying to divide me against myself my entire life, so I'm not going to vote in this divisive poll, nor do I care about the results.
