pure breed Puertorican,mom and dad Puertoricans, that said 4 generations back Spaniards from Spain.
What, who and where about Puerto Rico... for those who dont know, Puerto Rico is an island in the Caribbean, its a US territory and we are made up by Spaniards,( and some other Europeans who went to colonize)Africans ,and Taino indians. No more Tainos though the Spanish terminated them and those left fled the island. This was back in 1500's when Spain took over the island.The island has been territory of the US since the Spanish American War I believe 18980 -

How far back are some of you going?
Lmfao RIGHT?! Didn't know we were naming the ethnic background of our ancestor's ancestors. Lol0 -
I'm confused. Mutt = bi or multi-racial?
Because Irish, Scottish, Italian etc = caucasian. So if you're a 'mix' of these, you're still caucasian.
It's like saying you're half Ghanian and half Jamiacan (yes, I know lots of people who claimed this). You're still black.
I'm not being *kitten*-y, just saying.0 -

Ok, I'm caucasion. I consider myself a "mutt" because the borders in eastern and western Europe changed often when my grandparents were there and getting ready to leave. For example: My maternal grandfather was technically born in Austria. The border put their town or village in Austria at the time. A couple years later, it was back in Czechoslovakia. I also consider myself a mutt because I'm not all German, or all of any one nationality.0 -

Caucasian/white is a race. You asked for ethnicity, no?
I am also a mutt and take NO offense to the use of the word.
Father is Cuban born but both of his parents came from Spain.
Mother was born in NY but of Puerto Rican decent which included Taino, Italian, French, Irish, Spanish and African.
I was born in Puerto Rico but raised in New York.
I am most definitely a MUTT!0
