irony? *cuz you know, juggalos are bad at stuff.
not sure if you did it on purpose?
i want to make sure i read that right.
oh and herb- your ethnic make up is 'sloppy white guy'.
Nothing wrong with spanish - hard working, religious people.
I can say with some confidence you have never been to Spain.

i think he means south americans lol.
My mom's a brit, my dad's american.
I was raised in the USA, so I'm American.
This is what gets me about Americans to this day...how fucking long does this country have to exist before American's say they're American? How many generations? If you have to look back 200 years to figure out where you're "from" here's a hint: You're American.
I'm American...that's my lineage. Not Irish, not British, not African, not Spanish, American. My father, my grandfather (who was born in 1898, BTW), myself...we were all born here, that's enough for me to call myself "American".
"American" is not an ethnicity, its a nationality.
"Ethnicity can be defined as a group of people who regard themselves to be different from others. The ethnic groups are united by common traditional, cultural, linguistic, ritualistic, behavioral and religious traits. On the other hand, nationality does not pertain to these characteristics, as one can come across people that have different cultural, traditional, ritualistic and religious traits living in the same country."
i am 200% nigger
By that logic, wouldn't "mentally retarded" be considered an ethnicity?
At this point in human history, nothing is purely "American". Unless you live in a place thats so isolated from the rest of the world and anything that could influence your specific culture, there is nothing that is "Purely-_____". Everything is so diluted, that to say your ethnicity is strictly "American" means that you truly believe that your entire lineage has had no contact whatsoever with ANYTHING outside of its own culture/race.
My father was a mix of irish and scottish - my GF on that side was off the boat Irish, while my grandmother was half scottish on her mother's side. My mother was born of an off the boat german mother, while my grandfather was 3rd generation american-born (if the way i explained didnt make sense: my 'Pa was born in the US, as was his parents and their parents).
YOU HAVE TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE! AMERICA DOESNT COUNT! ITS A FUCKING NATIONALITY!
I disagree...read this:
"Ethnicity can be defined as a group of people who regard themselves to be different from others. The ethnic groups are united by common traditional, cultural, linguistic, ritualistic, behavioral and religious traits. On the other hand, nationality does not pertain to these characteristics, as one can come across people that have different cultural, traditional, ritualistic and religious traits living in the same country."
Anymore, "American" is easily as ethnic as any other. American culture is vast and completely unique from other countries. I feel "american" can be either a ethnic, or nationality description.
people will accept "German", "Irish", "Russian", "African" or "Spanish" as an ethnic description...why not American?
I think the difference is that people in America are usually aware of a change in location at some point in the past - because the past isn't that long ago. Families in a lot of other countries have been in that country for so long there are no records of anything being different.
As far as I know my family are English as far back as anyone has ever looked, it's a bit dull, if I could say with some confidence I was 1.8% Albanian or something it would be something I'd be happy to learn about. If anything it might give me a reason to go and piss about in a new country for a holiday or something.
I'm half White (Irish/English) and half Chinese. Not a fan of either White or Chinese people. Wish there were more Black and Mexican people in Canada.
Well, you don't hear that every day.
I eat sausage, but that's about it.
I fucking love how every white person* says they have a little Native American in them, are 1/16th Native America, etc etc.
Even my retarded as hell parents told me that bullshit.
