    Mum's side: Panamanian and Spanish.
    Dad's side: Filipino.
    Not much, huh? My dad refuses to speak to me about my grandparents or anything before that, and my mum doesn't know much about her heritage. So it kinda sucks.

    I'm 75% English and 25% Somali. My mum's half Somali.
    I've never really been sure about my dad's side, haha. I'm pretty sure I should be at least a little bit tanned, but I turned out pale as anything with blue eyes. The nightmarish dark curls make up for it though Disgust

    My Nana is Scottish on my mums side, My grandad on that side came from England, they're very old and met in WWII. My dad's side have been traced back to chemists in Mid-England area.

    75% English and 25% Scottish; Or so I claim.

    I have family all over the world, but I think most emigrated (I think...) Australia, America, India!

    I'm mostly English, Irish, and German but, apparently, I also have a bit of New Zealand and Prussia running through my veins...
    this means that I have at least 1% pure awesome in me XD *is shot*

    Either way though, it's an interesting mix XD

    African-American and Haitian. Yeah, it's two different flavors of black and, trust me, culturally the two sides of my family are sooooooooooo different.

    Filipino. It might not be necessary to add that I might have a bit of Japanese and Spanish blood because only my great-grandparents were half of those. But yeah, 99% Filipino :D

    I think that I have a little of everything in my family :) I'm mixed and proud. Although my skin color is more like a brownish/reddish color. I embrace my heritage full on :)

    I'm half-Greek, and probably about forty per cent German. The rest English.

    Just kind of really proud of my Greek Heritage. :3

    I'm Welsh, Swedish, Norwegian, Irish, French but look the Swedish part.
    Or, as a teacher of mine would say, a Nazi's idea of Aryan: pale, blue-eyed & blonde.

    I am basically 100% English.
    I flip-flop between being proud and hating it.

    I'm 1/8 German and 1/8 Irish, and I think there's some Austrian in there somewhere. The rest is just English.
    This is only on my father's side, since I don't know much about my mother's side of the family.

    Found out this weekend that my great great grandfather and his family were Jewish and came to England from Germany before the first world war and changed their name during the second world war.

    Mom's side: German, Irish, and Italian. My grandfather may be half Italian, we aren't sure because is *new* found father is from New Zealand. But Italian runs deep and my mom is very tan with dark hair.

    Dad's side: Native American, English and I believe German again. And a bit of Jamaican. My great great grandmother was Naive American was actually the chief of her tribe (or a position equal to that).

    Other than English, I notify myself as mostly Native American and Irish decent. Only because both sides tell me thats what I appear to look like. My mom just calls us the Heinz Ketchup family since we have a little of everything. We follow the Irish traditions that my great grands parents taught my family.

    British, Irish, Italian, and a wee bit Cherokee Indian.

    I look more Irish than anything else, though there's a lot more British and Italian in my blood.

    I know that I have Irish (from my birth mother's side) and Scottish (from my birth father's side). That's where I get my horrid red curls - that are hard as hell to tame - and my pale, freckly, unable to tan EVER skin.
