My mother's ancestry is Scottish and Welsh, while my father's is African (Somewhere) and Mi'kmaq.

So white/black/red.

You're a full White if your Jewish half is Ashkenazi.

My pronouns are he/him.
Any posts that I make as GenSec will be clearly marked as such and OOC. Conversely, my IC ambassador in the General Assembly is Ambassador Fortier. I’m always happy to discuss ideas about proposals, particularly if grammar or wording are in issue. I am also Executive Deputy Minister for the WA Ministry of TNP.
Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war. Read the factbook here for more information; perhaps, I will eventually finish it.

I suppose that is true, I don't know much Spanish at all so I couldn't speak to that. In other race-related discussions and events etc. that I've attended that's generally the term used. I don't know if it has something to do with nonbinary genders or maybe if people formulated a strong argument for Latinx over Latino but that was the reasoning that was given to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I'll look into it.

People who tell you to use Latinx and not Latino are either non-Spanish speakers or just plain dumb imo

I'm nether Pacific Islander nor "Far East" Asian, so I'm not exactly sure what to answer here. Austronesians and Southeast Asians such as myself don't exactly fit either bill. I do have Chinese, British, and Spanish ancestry, apparently.

I'm Italian but with French/German and some Arab/Berber admixture.

I have olive skin and pretty standard Mediterranean features. People have assumed that I'm Hispanic more than a few times.

Poll could really use some work. Hispanic and "Latinx" are linguistic classifications and not races, and neither is "Asian ("Middle East")", the middle east is ethnically diverse and includes arabs, kurds, whites, and native middle easterners (Mizrahi Jews, Assyrians, etc.), none of who refer to themselves as Asians. South Asians (Pakistanis/Indians/Bangladeshis) are absent from the poll, as are Turks, Arabs, Filipinos, and several less populous races (IE: Aboriginal Australians, Native Siberians).
