What race are you?

[LittleMissPanda]

I'm latina, 100% hispanic. My family, from my mother's side and father's side, is from the Dominican Republic, but I was born in the US~ I speak both languages fluently but I'm most comfortable and accustomed to English.

My skin is not too dark and not too light. I'd compare it to caramel.

 

[Antonio]

I'm Hispanic and white, my momma was white and my daddy is Hispanic.

 

[Firesquids]

I'm German, Dutch, and Irish, in other words, whiter than printer paper.

 

[DJ_Saidez]

Mexican on both sides
Let's just say the town my parents lived in was pretty small

 

[thatawkwardkid]

I just put other since I'm mixed. Japanese on my mom's side, Spanish, Puerto Rican, Portuguese, French, and Native American on my dad's side.

 

[Kattea]

I'm Asian, specifically Vietnamese!

 

[tiffanistarr]

My family is Italian on one end and Irish on the other so white af lol. I think my great parents on my moms side immigrated to the US. I know my grandfather was also from Italy. As far as my dads side, all I've heard is that they're pretty new here too. I think my mom's generation in the family were the first born US citizens. I've always wanted to do one of those DNA things though to see if there is anything else in me. I don't know a lot of my family ancestry so it would be fun to find out things.

I'm Latina, of Mexican descent. I wish that I could say more about my ancestry, but my parents don't know a lot about their roots. Although one of my elder sisters has already taken an ancestry test, I hope to buy one on my birthday or Christmas.

Regarding my skin tone, my sisters and Dad agree that I'm pale like my mother and nephew. However, I think that my mom and nephew have different tints to their pale skin. My mom's is more yellow and my nephew looks more like an e-girl with his rosy cheeks and nose. So...now I'm just confused on how my skin tone looks to other people.

I identify with latino/hispanic, which is still an ethnicity and not a race, I believe. But defining race is a murky area to begin with

there’s also an important distinction between latino and hispanic (they cannot be used interchangeably all the time). Hispanics include anyone originating from a spanish speaking country (including spain and not including brazil). Latinos include anyone from Latin America (including brazil and no country outside the region). Historically and socially, there’s an important distinction to be made between a Spanish person of full European ancestry (who is likely to be racially white) and someone from Latin America (who may vary in racial background)

 

[slzzpz]

Mexican.

I’m white. There’s this whole story my family tells about us being Native American, but there’s none in my dna so I have no idea where that story came from.

I feel like every white american has that same story Everyone I know has been told they have so much cherokee or choctaw or lakota in them

 

[.: Meri :.]

I'm white (and very pale to the point where I can't tan, I just burn, maybe freckle if I'm lucky), mainly of Scottish, Irish, and German descent—possibly some Dutch too, but my family isn't sure on that point. I definitely feel the most connection to my Scottish and German ancestry.

 

[Red Cat]

I'm a diverse mix of regular milk, vanilla soft-serve, sour cream, parmesan cheese, and snow.

 

[Midoriya]

A mix of different European countries and Native American (White).

Forgot to specify here, but I have German, Polish, and Cherokee Indian in my DNA. The Cherokee Indian is from my mom’s side for certain, and may be from my dad’s side as well. Who knows.

LMAO, underrated comment of the century right here.

 

[inazuma]

Im Asian!!! Well, tropical Asian. I never taste winter!

 

[Yanrima~]

I haven't said this for a long time, but I'm actually Filipino-Chinese.

I'm not going to use the poll simply because even though it is common it really bothers me that skin color is used to denote race.
As far as I know my ancestors are European and Native American. I use to get rude comments as a kid from doctors because on my legal papers I'm labeled as white/Caucasian but bone features say otherwise and I'm not registered with a tribe. With age the comments stopped.
It's cool to know your history but it sucks to be judged for not mentioning it or for mentioning because some think your lying about your race or your talking nonsense because paleness. Can't win.

Edit, 3 years later
I wanted to come back since I saw this thread got bumped. One of my relatives' Cherokee Nation cards have been found since my grandpa passed away, but of course I can't look at it and won't be able to until the relative who is holding on to it passes, assuming they didn't destroy it (it's complicated). It will have the clan information, who they were, and can lead me to other relatives through registration records. It was on a side of the family I didn't expect to find that on, but it can still lead me to knowing more about the side of the family I did suspect had those kinds of roots on due to skin color and other features.

 

[Bugs]

White and English as far back as either of my parents families can find out (with possible Welsh ancestry on my mum's side)

 

[justina]

According to the 23 and me test I took I am Italian, Puerto Rican, and Cuban. So I guess half white half Hispanic? I honestly have no idea lol
