    My mom is a mish-mash of various European cultures (mostly Scottish, English and German iirc). My dad is Honduran. I was born and raised in California and don't really identify with anything else. My extended family isn't very close.

    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!

    True story

    Me: So dad where did your family come from? Whats your background?

    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.

    what did you expect? He's texan there is nothing else. What's the old joke: I'd rather be a post in Texas than the Queen of England
