What is your ethnic background?
OP - September 19, 2010, 06:06 PM

Just curious what the breakdown is. Seems like mostly folks from Bengali and Pakistani origin here, with a slight edge to Bengali-- we'll soon see.

I'm voting Mixed/Other (Arabized North African + White European)

fuck you

If you were to look at me you would think I am Caucasian of the British persuasion, but I am mostly Chinese and Native American with a little bit of German and Italian thrown in.

So once again I'm left with the classic Irish man's dilemma, do I eat the potato or do I let it ferment so I can drink it later?

Canadian > Bengali

But on my Canadian side it goes like this :-

People from Ireland moved to Northern America (now canada)
and mixed with the native americans.
After many generations, my grandmother married my grandfather who was from scotland who also moved to canada
and my mother was born in canada.

So bengali,canadian,irish and scottish.

I'm Italian and Irish... family on both sides used to be very Catholic (now they are apostates or other denoms of Christians). I get the mob jokes a lot too.
