I would consider myself american. Family came over from England/Ireland/Scotland during the late 1700's or early 1800's. We have family kept birth/death records dating back to the early to mid 1800's someplace.

i will be the first one out of my race to say i am martian(cabpatch)

haha nah j/p, i am flip and cracker

i just read your OP. everyone who is a US citizen is an american persey(sp?), but when you ask "what nationality are you" you're basically getting to the roots of what country a persons family came from. In truth, the only real americans are native americans(aztecs, incas, cherokee, navajo,etc...)

You know, IMO, i think racism can help to be stopped, if people would stop asking "race" questions in the census,and job apps, and what-not. Until people stop looking at religion/tradition/racial background, racism will always be on peoples minds. but then again this is america, land of the free, so long as you're not communist, you communist

 

[SwampAss]

brit/german. 2nd gen. My grandparents from both sides immigrated during the late 30s.

 

[Akaveli]

the only people that can really be an "American" are Native Americans....the rest of us jumped onto this boat at some point in our family tree....

Ethinicity: African

It's funny because the term race (as we know it) was defined in the 1500's by European imperialists to set up a class system,
The narrow minded savages who thought of this basically used color and size as the basis. When color means s*** to actual ethnicity, culture, origin.

"Mainstream scientists have argued that race definitions are imprecise, arbitrary, derived from custom, have many exceptions, have many gradations, and that the numbers of races delineated vary according to the culture making the racial distinctions; they thus reject the notion that any definition of race pertaining to humans can have taxonomic rigour and validity.

Today most scientists study human genotypic and phenotypic variation using more rigorous concepts such as "population" and "clinal gradation." Many anthropologists contend that while the features on which racial categorizations are made may be based on genetic factors, the idea of race itself, and actual divisions of persons into groups based on selected hereditary features, are social constructs"


THE TERM AND IDEA OF "RACE" (AND THEREFORE RACISM) WAS CREATED BY PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO DOMINATE OTHERS.

It's the ****** modern day equivalent of the 3 kids in a high school saying those kids talk about video games all the time. We talk about football. They are different. We need a name for those kind of people. I know... geek. Yes, we shall call them geeks.
Africans were just Africans, till the were brought here and someone called them "Black" (Negro actually- which means black).
