If the out of Africa hypothesis for human evolution is true, then we are all Africans!!
 
Same here!!! I get the "What are you?" questions a lot. Is your mom or dad asian? What do you put on applications? I usually put "other" or "biracial" if it's an option, but otherwise, I leave it blank. Is it bad to leave it blank?

Mum's dutch, dad's chinese.

I typically put 'eurasian' in the western hemisphere, and 'chinese' in the east. Less stereotyping that way 😀
 
For the most part African(who knows what part of Africa) and European (Lot of spanish, French, etc.), some Arabic, and Taino Indian (the native Americans of the Island where I was born). 😀
 
100% Korean, I think, but adopted at 3 months old by off-the-boat Italians. I grew up in an all-Italian town. When I first came home from the airport, all the neighbors asked where I was from, and apparently my father stopped trying to explain and just said, "South of Naples," which seemed to do the trick.

My mom is from southern Italy and my dad is from northern Italy, so they don't really understand each other's Italian. I mainly know how to curse in Italian, because my parents thought if they didn't curse around me in English, I wouldn't know what was going on.
 
irish, scottish (scotch?), polish, czechoslovakian, indian, and native american. (is there anyone from the south who doesn't have some amount of native american?)

and i was born in spain. not a drop of hispanic blood in me, as far as i know 😉

and i'm white as a ghost with freckles and blue/grey eyes...but dark hair (see avatar).

what's funny is being mostly irish with the last name cavanaugh and marrying a dyson (a man, not a vacuum cleaner).
