My Dad is turkish and my mom is turkish/english. My brother did a DNA test thingy and it came back with 27% Italian, 27% Turkish and 27% English (and some other smaller percentages). I was suprised by the 27% italian. Dont know anyone in our family that it could be traced back to
I don't think it's what you think it is.
I am half white, half very brown. I do not appear white at all, so I don't really identify as "white"
I'm super pale white, but my heritages is everywhere with a coast... Like actually, the DNA test thing came back and it just highlighted coasts everywhere.
So, White Canadian, but the other part is pretty cool, any port in a storm right?

I was born in the USA but my family is from Mexico. However the people that led to me were immigrants from European and South American countries so I am def a mutt. My ancestry is Spanish Jewish, Afro-Latin, Scottish, North African, and German. Due to slavery and jewish diaspora, its complicated. I just identify as a Biracial Jew and leave it at that.
I'm white Portuguese. Most of my ancestors going back 5 generations were quite pale (or so I've been said) and stuck living in the deep portuguese countryside so probably not much mix there. But going centuries further behind I can see some north african, middle eastern acestry in my facial characteristics. My genetical base probably came more from those parts than the Iberian natives or German Visigoths that were here before the muslim arrival. But I'm probably a mixture of all of those.

I'm a German white ass dude...like really white...and pale. People might get blinded when looking at me in the wrong lighting.
My Grandmother, who died before my birth, was from Romania. I have no traces of that culture in me though, so I'm just a German guy.
Taking that DNA test does sound interesting though. xD

I am Balkarian (no not Bulgarian) with a very little drop of Ossetian and Central Asian blood quite a few generations ago. I bet DNA test might reveal some of the East Asian ancestors from a yesteryear as well, but it's almost inconsequential at this point.
This is kind of how I feel as half-Viet and half-white. I call myself a mudblood.
Back in the UK I always ticked the "Other White" box... Was there also a "White Non-British" option? I think I remember that.
Generally, I'd say that I'm ethnically "Southern European" or "Mediterranean", because despite being born in South America, my family comes from people who migrated from Europe in the early XXth century. But I'm not "pasty white", and I can get fairly brown given the right conditions. Some Indian friends were pretty surprised about it a while ago.

I definitely learned a lot from it and not just about my heritage. It was well worth the money for me. :D

I probably could have word it better, but oh well I think most here understood what I was trying to say.
American white person I guess?
Not really proud of the rest of my American white people, but I don't really have anything else in me unless you go many generations back.

Haitian although I have secret Dominicanism in my blood. My grandma wouldn't even admit this under torture lol. Why's the island still beefin with each other after Massa done left?
White.
I have a very Italian last name and used to identify that way when I was younger, but the Italian is only on my dad's side and I've since learned his "100% Italian" claim is bullshit. There's some Austrian in there and they just deny it. It's freaking listed on the web that my great grandmother was born in Austria in the 1940s census and still no.

Well considering Italy and Austria were fighting for centuries over the claim to southern Austria/north Italy I don't think being Italian and Austrian is that weird.
White American, mom's side is Scottish, dad's side is German. I was born one generation too late to meet any of my immigrant ancestors, they mostly came over in the wave around WWI.
hi five bay-bee
God, I can't wait to have pho tonight. I'm not even joking. I feel it in my soul when I go too long without it.
