What is your Ethnicity?

ksfrogman · 02-08-2006, 11:16 AM

(NOT Nationality, but Ethnicity)

I'm doing this poll out of curiosity. I noticed that there are a lot of Asian e90 enthusiasts (me included) in the meets I have attended here in the Southern Cal area. Surprised me.

I was born in the US, but Both my parents and my entire family were born in Sicily... SO, im 100% Sicilian. Purebred :rocks:

Squawks · 02-08-2006, 11:22 AM

1/1 Chinese.

Technically I'm half Vietnamese but since my Chinese parents despise Vietnamese, they inculcate the fact that my lineage should only be carried on paternally. Thus, I should be pure Chinese despite the fact that my grandmothers are Vietnamese. And that my parents grew up in Vietnam. And my first, lost language was Vietnamese. Heheh. There's quite a few folks like me, actually - I think they call them Chinese refugees from the Vietnam War or something.

ksfrogman · 02-08-2006, 11:23 AM

Ethnicity is your race (country of blood origin), whereas Nationality is the country you are a citizen of by birth or by nationalization.

For example, a Mexican person born in the United States would be Hispanic by Ethnicity, and American by Nationality.

I knew this would get me into trouble. Yeah, I'd categorize you as White bella, even though you have a few extra virgin olive oil tones.
