First off Race doesn't exist... there is only 1 race of humans and that is homo sapien sapien... contrary to popular opinion the cromag's and neandertals are dead...

Second ethnicity is a wrong word to use because if you break down the word from its origin ethnos means "heathen", so to ask someone's ethnicity already implies inferiority.

how do you like 'dem apples for PC? now kill this thread.

:p

I voted mixed...on the basis that i am about 75% irish, 10% italian, and 5% other (including welsch, portugese, and who knows what else.), and that i'm a first generation american for 1/2 of my family..

however, i'm not a fan of the poll. how can you combine white and black with chinese, japanese, etc? gotta either go by your heritage (whereever your parents/grandparents/etc came from), or link us to a color chart so we can pick our accurate skin-tone :p

Just a guess based on the poll without looking through any of the responses: By chance are you Asian? The reason I ask is because the poll breaks down Asians by a rather detailed list of nationalities compared to other ethnic groups. I am half Italian, half Anglo-Celtic whatever.
