    Full-blooded Czech. My Dad went to school and had to learn most of the English, since Grandpa and Grandma mostly spoke Czech in the home.

    Like most people I am of mixed heritage too. My mother is half South Indian and half Jamaican, my biological father is half South Indian and half native South African. I was adopted by my English caucasian father and moved to the UK when I was 3. I am proud of my racial heritage and my cultural heritage (iv been in the UK for 33 years - giving my age away there!!) Sunday dinners growing up were always interesting, we either had Indian, South African or traditionally English roast beef and Yorkshire puds!!

    I'm from England. I'm English, Irish, French, Italian and a little Spanish! I'm very much mixed. Although my mother and father were both born in England, their families are all from different places so I'm truely just a mix. It shows with my features, too. I have olive skin (that goes a little pale in winter) light blue eyes that are almost grey, and although as a toddler I was a platinum blonde naturally, my hair started changing during winter and now I am totally dark brown. Full spanish lips, thick french eyebrows, dainty english cheekbones and thick long italian hair! Oh and, the long irish eyelashes! Hahaha.

    I'm a little bit of everything :) My dad is Hispanic and my mom's mostly German with some Cherokee Indian. My brother and sister both inherited the dark hair and dark eyes from my dad but I was born with the green eyes, freckles and red highlights. I embrace my Hispanic side and I can make the best Mexican food you've ever tasted :)
