Irish/Scottish/English/Danish

I'm more Irish than the others, so I selected that from the poll, but my last name is Scottish.

Alright, I added a button for non-white people if they want to participate.

Italian, Spanish, Portugese and Greek are -not- "white"

They are still counted in the "White" demographic group.

Really? Wow. I didn't mean to crap on them but they are a different tone of skin than say scandinavian people. Many Greeks and Italians I see are more olive coloured than white. Compare north and south Italians.

As for Spanish and Portugese I think those are self-explanatory as far as "whiteness" goes.


Most Italians and Greeks ive seen are 'white' looking, yea theyre slightly darker than a Scandinavian but then again so are germans.

About spanish and portuguese... they tend to look like greeks and italians.
And im talking about Spanish/portuguese from spain and portugal, not mexico since mexicans are predominantly native american mixed with a little bit of spanish, which is why they dont look european.

All I can say is American. As far as I can trace back, it's all in the US. I don't know where everyone else came from so I can't say anything.

Ooooh. There are 100 votes right now so the percentages equal the votes for each category. I know it won't last but it's quite a sight to behold for right now.

Edit: Yep, it's gone already. Man, those were good times.

The last name only traces back the male pathes while ignoring all female paths that exist.

I don't know how many generations you guys count here in ATOT.
One part of my family is a decendant of a mercenary in the Preussian army during the 30 year war 1618 - 1648 so I guess I am part Preussian then.
