I identify as black, Afro-Caribbean. However, my paternal grandmother is of Amerindian descent and my maternal great-grandfather is Chinese. Also, the poll results so far are funny... two black persons. :rofl:

I mean... I am Chinese and definitely living in a Chinese-majority nation (Singapore), so... there you go.

Ancestry's a mystery beyond being born to both a Cantonese parent and a Hokkien parent. Parents of my grandparents could've/likely migrated from China to Singapore, that's about as much as I know.

I also act pretty 'white'/sound the part at least.

EDIT: Perhaps an "other" option would be helpful, though then again I'm guessing this is more meant to be for American citizens/migrants, neither of which I am.

I think I'm white, but I can never be too sure.

Yes. The deicide race, didn't you know? But don't get worried, the good Christians will pray pro perfidos iudaeos.

Depends on who you ask, apparently. Sephardim and Mizrahim are definitely ethnically Jewish, but there's a tossup on whether Ashkenazim are white or not.

Hmm I am Ashkenazi, but I can trace my ancestors back a couple of hundred years and as far as I can tell all my ancestors have been Ashkenazi of some sort (My family is stereotypically from Poland, Austria and Russia). Given that my mom is a Levi, at least on that side I am ethnically Jewish. My dad meanwhile is Yisrael.

I usually go for simply "American" as I'm genetically French, Finnish, Polish, and Scottish. I am however culturally none of these things so I tend to keep them out of my ethnicity because it's diluted to a point of irrelevancy.
Republic of Mazujotai


Politically homeless, nominal liberal. My politics are informed by my edgy middle school ""Clerical Communism"" and my equally as edgy high school Minarchist phases. Nominally I'm a social liberal who believes in the reasonable rights of all to express themselves socially and politically without ramification, I enjoy strong free trade principles with a strong emphasis on anti-corporatism and the need for strong but well checked Labour Unions and government anti-trust and anti-monopoly laws. I enjoy describing my positions as based on the principles of Realpolitik and derive influences from people like Henry Kissinger, Dwight Eisenhower, Teddy Roosevelt, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama.

I'd consider Persians to be white.

That's the thing about "white" it's way to broad of a term. Because you have several Hispanics who say they are white and then you have people who have said the the Irish were not white.

Well, yes. For those who like their spanking sessions a little... messier.
