I'm gonna go with interplanetary racial divisions are as arbitrary as intraplanetary racial divisions.

Meaningfulness, in any meaningful sense, derives from outcomes.

My mother and father are both mixed. My mom is Korean and Spanish; my dad is Filipino and Irish. So I'm Korean, Filipina, Spanish (Spain), & Irish. :roll:

Autism is not relevant to racial background. I've yet to see any study showing correlation between ethnicity and broad categories like race, being related to learning disorders like autism. I've only seen one cross-generational study comparing first generation immigrants with second generation immigrants, finding statistically significant occurances between autism and acclimatization to the west. So if anything Africans and Middle-easterners probably have less autism occurance in their home countries.

Greek and Polish. But I apparently look very Greek and nobody could tell I have a Polish mum unless they saw her.

I live in England and apparently I'm the first person to be born in the UK in my family line as far as records go.

White. Race has never been important to me so I have never really investigated any family tree or origins.

I'm half Canadian Aboriginal (Mikmaq) and half French Canadian, I have status.

I don't know if race makes a difference or not.
