I wonder how many Americans these days are full blooded ANYTHING.

Me, I'm a MUTT. Indian (native American) German, Irish, Scotch. And those are just the ones I KNOW about.

It seems to me that there are probably full blooded Asian Americans about (but this is just an assumption on MY part), but other than that, are there any other "pure bloods" around?

This is NOT just for the Americans out there either BTW, I'm curious about the rest of the world as well!

To the best of my knowledge, I'm full-blooded German-American 3rd generation. Of course this means that I can drink beer like a champ and have the sense of humor of an armadillo. I like Leinenkugal's and think Carrot Top sucks.

I seriously doubt there are many pure bloods left in the US at ALL. Most of them probably have some sort of foreign ancestor somewhere in their background.

As for me, I'm 50% Greek, 25% Irish, 12% Cherokee, and 13% some sort of Euro-mutt (probably with some French in there somewhere).

It has always amazed me that in a country comprised of mostly MUTTS. We can still find it in our collective selves to be prejudice against some of the races we probably have in our own back grounds. :Q

I'm 100% Polish.. lol.. well as far as I know... but yeah it's the natural flow of evolution, and I think it's a good thing.. oh, and just to mention I'm Canadian, just thought I'd mention that you know, not to skew your question geared towards Americans :)

All male relatives of my family were born in Scotland. All male relatives of my family are doctors, with the exception of my father. My family is never changing, it's kinda boring.
