Oh, montjuic, silly! He doesn't care for those annoying, liberal-minded, highly-sophisticated, cultured Gauls... :wink:

Yay, Freedom Fries! Good grief. :roll:

Heh. Apparently Canada and Denmark are having an argument over who owns some little island in the arctic (no, not Greenland) and one of the editorial cartoons in the newspaper showed a box of cinnamon rolls with "danishes" crossed out and "freedom pastries" scrawled on the box....

Maybe Sean is just tired of having the urge to surrender any time he gets into an argument. :-)

True. That would probably be correct.

I'm a little surprised at the results of the poll. I knew that the majority of us are of european ancestry, but I didn't think it would be as high as 90%!

I could have sworn there was some Asians among us...

anyway, when did 'middle eastern' get to be an ethnicity?

good point. i was wondering about the term "ethnicity", but it is different frm "race", so i suppose the boundaries are somewhat blurred.

i have just decided that i belong to an ethnic (and every other subdivision of people) group of one - me.

now all i have to do is form a pressure group and demand equal opportunities...

(a moment of light relief and not to be taken too seriously, by the way - might be obvious to some, but just in case...).

Think about it: this forum is fed mainly by people in Europe and America.

Family originally Irish, but been in Scotland 3 generations. I have a serious envy of the Indigenous Central American, especially Mayan.

Same, except I am fith Gen, my kids are 6th, old great great (...) grand folks came over on the JAne Gifford in the 1840's...

Got the same heritage as you but thrown in some souhtern spanish, and the moorish blood from that reagion, and maybe remove the welsh, but with Irish and Scotish a bit of welsh has to be in there some where,

With enough records I could probably trace my Spanis/Moorish blood back to Judea circa AD 0.
