NationState's Ethnicities

[Mushet]

Armenian, Irish, Lithuanian, and Italian.
Question: Is Armenia considered middle eastern or East European?

Middle Eastern, I'd say it's closer to European culturually but it's Middle Eastern

[Azrael]

Whoo! Every mixed abstain from this oppressive poll.

Not really. You can select four options.

Whoops. I wasn't paying attention now was I...

Now, first and fore mostly, this is not your nationality. Many people seem to confuse the two. Your nationality is what country you are from, and generally what citizenship you hold though in some cases you may be a dual citizen. An ethnic group is a group of people whose members identify with each other through a common heritage, consisting of a common culture, including a shared language or dialect. The group's ethos or ideology may also stress common ancestry, religion, or race. This means while you are from the US, you may be ethnically Abazin (from Russia, Turkey, or Armenia), or while you are from France, you may be ethnically Breton.

I am an ethnic Scottish Gael, born and raised in Scotland. How about you all?

I'm an Islander. Nah, I'm kidding.

I selected Western European, although as this is generally a foreign thingie I should have gone with New Zealander. Six generations qualifies me as such, who cares if it is only one memeber in every generation. The others are from the UK, the Netherlands or Ireland.

Kinda both. Genetically, Armenians are related to the Kurds. Based on heritage, Armenians are modeled on European civilization.

[Tlaceceyaya]

Listed in order of what I am most:
1: Slavic.
2: Scandinavian.
3: Germanic.
4: English or Scottish... my grandmother mentioned that her grandmother was from one of those places once, but I can't remember which.

Also, what does "southern europe" mean? Spanish people? People on Gavdos, Greece, which is the southernmost point in Europe?

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Much like my president, I was

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.

Then why did you post here?

[Costa Fiero]

I'm an Islander. Nah, I'm kidding.

Technically, everyone born here is an Islander. After all, we were born on islands in the Pacific, are we not?

As for moi, I am a nice healthy mix of English, Dutch and most likely some Maori. It may explain why my uncle was the only brown child in Mum's family.

[Thesan]

100% northern italian....
so I can have ancient roman, celtic, german, spanish, french, swiss, austrian and mongol blood in my veins... although I'm a caucasian white

[United Star Commonwealth]

English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh and some form of Hispanic we honestly don't know about. All we know was that they were very dark skinned and spoke Spanish and immigrated to West Virginia in the 1890's.

...where they promptly had to prove they weren't black people.

So WASP-oid. Kinda WASP, but not.

It's because we aren't brown. The racists.

Yeah but geographically they're in the middle east, they're a bit close to Europe but they're not considered Europe and not found on maps of Europe, but you'd find them on Middle Eastern maps

[Ulvena]

I'm Asian, more specifically, Korean.

I believe they are allowed to participate in Eurovision. Or at least, according to the Globe&Mail.

[Meryuma]

5 options for Europe, 1 for Africa and 1 for basically miscellaneous indigenous guys? Unfortunate implications, man.

Anyways, I'm English, Scots Irish/Ulster Scots, German, and I think some kind of Native American (my dad was adopted so I can't say I'm certain of that).

In Korea?

ikr

Sheesh, it seems you can always link to TV Tropes. And I've already wasted plenty of time there this week.

[Jawa Baru]

I'm Eastern European (Polish Slavic) and Indonesian (Javanese).

[Dyakovo]

English-Algonquin-French-German for me...

[Furious Grandmothers]

口尺iental, representing! Chinese specifically.

[Bordurian]

Yes! Polish count is now three!

[Forster Keys]

I'm a bloody mongrel.

[Maltropia]

Partly Mi'kmaq, partly Acadian, mostly (and by birth) Irish.

[United Star Commonwealth]

I'm a bloody mongrel.

Even mutt dogs have a color of fur. Any theories upon such an ancestry?

[The House of Petain]

Part Croatian, Slovenian, Italian, French, Korean and Mongolian. My grandfather came over here in the 1950s shortly after being liberated from Dachau, and my mother, who met my father while he was stationed in Korea, became a citizen in the the early 80s.
