caucasian is the main white ethnic group. Caucasia are mountains between Europe (west side) and Russia (east side). since "occident" means west in latin, occidentals = caucasians. so you're basically white. ok, that's the worst ethnic class ever. please don't take it too seriously, its accuracy is as good as my tas skills (look at my submissions to understand... yeah, there's none U_U)...

Short answer: white American male. Longer answer: While my parents and their parents were all born here, their parents before them (my great-grandparents) were all from various eastern-European nations like Poland, Austria-Hungary, Prussia, etc. Half of my family is Jewish which counts as an ethnicity to some people. Culturally speaking, I was born in New York and raised in the suburbs. Safe, quiet, dull.

For how long we're able to track down (Great-great grandparents), my family is pure-bred Danish.

I was born in Estonia, I live in Finland. My mom is that finnish-russian (Inkeri in Finnish, don't know what it is in English) type and my dad is estonian. I suppose I'm part german too because my lastname (Reichardt) comes from Germany.

Mostly anglo-saxon, some german, some norman, some french, some welsh. My surname, Davis, is welsh, and my mum's was english. I'm not exactly pure, but still proud of my germano-celtic ancestry. I currently reside in America, but intend to leave as soon as convenient.

I'm 75% Dutch. Three of my grandparents (both my moms parents and my dads mom) came to America During WWII. My last name is French, but all our geneology books put the last major French influence in the late 1600's. Six generations ago a Navajo married in. My dad's dad's part of the family arrived in America late 1600s and afaik they never left. Some pretty funny stories come from that part of the family.

How many generations does a family have to live in a country before it is "100%"? We are all 100% African since the first Homo Sapiens was created there. I'm all Swedish (I think).

My grandmother did some genealogy research, and at least 8 (or was it 7?) generations back, I'm all pure inbread Swedish, after that there was one frenchie. So I guess that makes me 1/256 part French or something.

100% Finnish, at least if there wasn't any mix-ups at the maternity hospital... That's because I was born in Sweden even though my parents are (supposedly) Finnish. Whatever, I just think my self as a member of Homo Sapien rather than Finnish.
