My mother is 100% Jamaican, which usually means he ancestors were from what is now Ghana. My Father is 1/2 Jamaican, 1/2 Pakistani.

I'm 100% American.

Well, let's see:

I know I'm part French and part northern Italian (more Swiss and French than what is normally thought of as Italian). I think I might be part Scot and part Russian, though I'm very unsure about the last one; my surname is unmistakably German-Jewish.

Really, though, I don't care very much. I don't identify with any of these nations/ethnicities. I identify with who I am, not with who my ancestors are or were.

30% Irish, 20% Scottish, 40% Scandanavian (Finnish/Swedish), 10% French/Dutch/German
Through some sparse geneology work, it appears I'm likely a descendant of the Vikings.
