Where is everyone from, heritage.. ethnicity etc.

fteale

I was born in England near London, but I am not from anywhere. My family are from all over the world originally. I have Asian, African, German, Scottish, Welsh and English ancestors. Ethnicity is much less of a big deal here than it is in the US. I find it really funny when people know where they are from. It just doesn't matter.

I'm American born and raised in Hawaii.

My ethnicities are Hawaiian, Filipino, Portuguese, Irish, English. I identify most with my Hawaiian & Portuguese culture though I don't speak either language fluently. I'm mostly Portuguese and I've been told I really pull that side as far as looks. My father-in-law (also Portuguese) went to Madeira (an island off of Portugal) to visit family and he swears he saw me walk down the street, lol.

This is a great topic! It was fun to see all the different cultures on MFP!

Dad: Texas

Me: Dad, no like BEFORE texas. We're not natives here.

Dad: We're Texans. There was no where before Texas.

To this day I honestly have no idea about my dad's side of the family.
