So then...what is all the bickering on this forum? We all come from similar places. Except for an outcast...
That's a good question..I never thought about hating nationalities or a country..Now, some governments I'm not too fond of..but most countries are beautiful in their own way and most people are interesting.. I do get fed up with people ragging on the U.S.A. though..I need to learn to ignore them..
Some people get hung up on this stuff, I dont know why. It has something to do with Politically correct I guess. 100% Italian here..[If that's possible]. Proud to be one. My Grandparents came here with nothing. My Moms side had 16 kids, my Dads 18. Believe me when we got together,,,WE REALLY GOT TOGETHER,,,HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Several of my Uncles became wealthy, they bought a farm for pleasure upstate NY, they would have family get togethers there. Relatives would come for weekend feasts, All the neighboring towns knew us, we booked all the rooms solid,,,LOL The Farm would turn into an Italian Woodstock sort of,,,They even had their own plane and landing field. What great memories.... I was a lucky kid indeed!
Human. I think some of my ancestors stole cattle in Scotland but, at that time in history, stealing cattle was more of a sport than a felony as long as you stole them from the English.
I'm 75% Czech and 25% German. Raised Catholic and attended All Catholic school expect for one year at a Military/Prep school outside Philadelphia.
I am half white, but is it really the same as Western Europe? Whites from Central Asia look different. I have no idea, honestly. The point was that we are all basically one big happy family and I was making a joke about me being the red-headed step-child.
I'm a little bit country, and I'm a little bit rock 'n roll. I'm a little bit of Memphis and Nashville with a Little bit of Motown in my soul.
That is very true, though I often wonder what I would do if the world was ever at peace. Seriously. What the hell would I do with myself? Topic for another discussion. You are Irish, right? (Bringing things back around)
Well it began in Afri- ca ca ca ca.......... But more recently, my father is Irish my mother English with some Italian and French in there over the last 200 years!
Obviously, I'm Caucasian. However, I'm not entirely Caucasian and I'm mixed when it comes to what type of Caucasian I am. My last name, for an example, is supposedly Irish. There's obviously a lot of English blood in me and I'm also supposedly have a slight German heritage. In fact, my birth name (Womack) might have ties to the German part of my family. Yes, I was born before my parents married, so I kind of have two last names. The one I was given at birth and the one I got when my parents married. Anyhow, what prevents me from being completely Caucasian is Cherokee Indian blood, which comes from both sides of my family. My mother's side had supposedly includes a Cherokee Chief as an ancestor. Basically, I'm mainly English, but I have some Irish, German, and Cherokee descent.
I am probably one of the few Americans that will say they do not have any native american blood. Irish and German...my wife is a Creek indian and other....I'm not sure what the other is.
