 The mixing started waaaaaay back. Like ages and ages ago.


Oh, so are you counting like let's say your uncle married a white woman then they have kids those kids are your cousins. You counting that as being part of the mixture in you? Or you are counting what is mix from your great great grandparents and your parents not what your uncle married to right?


The second one.

I'm including mixes from my actually family,like grandparents, and parents and such.
Not married family.

nope. I'm pretty indifferent about it, it's not something i've earned, just something I am.
it doesn't mean a lot to me, I'm afraid.

My mother is Scottish but her family are Irish.My fathers family are Irish to the core,my grandfather and his brothers fought the British for years this country's independence,they died for Ireland and for their countrys freedom.For that,I could not be prouder.

i think she's talking ancestors. as for me, it's impossible to tell except for what they call "gypos" in the white man's tongue. lol Romani supposedly originating in India

and i'm just too lazy and tired to type out my whole family history here & now

Personally I don't care, and I think racial pride is retarded. Taking pride in something that you earned and worked for I can understand, but something that's trivial and uncontrollable is stupid.

Exactly.

I do not have any pride in my ethnicity.  But don't get me wrong - this doesn't mean I'm ashamed of it.  It simply means that to me, in the end, it simply just is and there's no point in taking it any further than that.

But from what I do know of it, I am about 75% English / Welsh (not sure which one more than the other) and 25% Swedish.

being proud to be white is not allowed
way to miss the bus.

its about ethnicity not race.

Besides KR said you're not white. So you can't be proud of that

"proud" no

"happy" yes
