June 15, 200816 yr :x All I need is a wifebeater, case of miller lite and 10 foster kids and I'd be the rednecks up the street!
July 8, 200816 yr Superwhite: 100% Suomalainen--that is, Finnish. The only people who are whiter are albinos. But since my uh..., rather receding (to give it as positive a spin as possible) hair is not blonde, maybe I can’t make that claim after all (there are actually many dark-haired Finns, who technically are not even Scandinavian). http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/

Is your name Bjorn? lol very funny, but Bjorn is Swedish; and Swedes are evil :evil: I that it was "scandanavian" like Miko, lars or lief? no, Finnish is completely different from other Scandinavian languages! I don't know if you meant "Mikko" with two k's--but that is indeed a Finnish name. Also, there are a minority of ethnically Swedish Finns--mainly in the western part of Finland--who have lived there for centuries. There's a whole history of a Swedish "superiority" complex over Finns--this is already getting too complex for me! I think it all boils down to Nokia. http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/

July 8, 200816 yr White - mostly Sicilian with some German and Irish thrown in there. Hot-headed? You bet. :whip:
July 8, 200816 yr White - mostly Sicilian with some German and Irish thrown in there. Hot-headed? You bet. :whip: That trumps my Irish-German mix - please don't ever let me get on your bad side! :-o clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
July 8, 200816 yr MMmm Sicilian women :-D Nothing surprising here ... David trying to pick up women on the intranets again ...
July 8, 200816 yr MMmm Sicilian women :-D Nothing surprising here ... David trying to pick up women on the intranets again ... Sorry, already taken as KJP knows all too well... That trumps my Irish-German mix - please don't ever let me get on your bad side! :-o Don't worry, I usually only take out my anger on people I don't have to regularly deal with (i.e. random customer service reps and such).
July 8, 200816 yr MMmm Sicilian women :-D Nothing surprising here ... David trying to pick up women on the intranets again ... I know..just plain desperate! I'm a whitey. Lawd, you people!
July 8, 200816 yr Sorry, already taken as KJP knows all too well... I wasn't trying to hit on you; I wouldn't do that unless I knew a little more about you. I happen to know another girl, at OSU, that's Sicilian and when you said that, it made me think of her. She's gorgeous. Edit: That's not me on the left
July 8, 200816 yr MMmm Sicilian women :-D Nothing surprising here ... David trying to pick up women on the intranets again ... Indeed Mr. Bush. :laugh:
July 8, 200816 yr White, mostly Irish and Polish, but also Cherokee thrown in to give me that unique look
July 8, 200816 yr This is about Race, not Nationality! Ya damn crazies! fine..picky picky.. White + Native American
July 8, 200816 yr They don't list that on drivers licenses, you nitwit! clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
July 8, 200816 yr Whats on your drivers license? White? I know this question wasn't for me, Missouri drivers' licenses don't specify race, so muahahahaha.
July 8, 200816 yr This is about Race, not Nationality! Ya damn crazies! You couldn't just sneak back in quietly, could you?
July 8, 200816 yr Again Dan, we're agreeing on something. This really has to stop ;-) clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
July 8, 200816 yr They don't list that on drivers licenses, you nitwit! Damnit I mean Birth Certificate!! Why are you trying to strip colors from the wonderful rainbow of human diversity? Me of all people would never do that. I started this thread! This is about Race, not Nationality! Ya damn crazies! You couldn't just sneak back in quietly, could you? HUSH Again Dan, we're agreeing on something. This really has to stop ;-) Don't make me spank you're a$$!
July 8, 200816 yr They don't list that on drivers licenses, you nitwit! yeah.. mine doesnt list that on there.. just that I have brown eyes
July 8, 200816 yr Just trying to get along in case things don't work out well for me in November. :wink2: Checked in with a black guy I used to work with trying to remind him we used to be friends, but he said I was the first guy he was coming after if (he said when) Obama wins!
July 8, 200816 yr They don't list that on drivers licenses, you nitwit! Damnit I mean Birth Certificate!! Then why offer a choice of Mix (Please specify) when that's not on my birth certificate. My birth certificate says, Caucasian, I think. However, that doesnt change the fact that my great grand mother was full blood Cherokee
July 8, 200816 yr Because some people like me have "mixed" or "coloured" on their Birth Certificates.
July 8, 200816 yr My older brother's dad has two birth certificates; one says he's black and the other one says he's white. The white one came in handy back then. Everyone thinks he's Italian but it's just from light skin marrying light skin for so long, which is common for light skin blacks in Zanesville where he's from.
July 9, 200816 yr MMmm Sicilian women :-D Nothing surprising here ... David trying to pick up women on the intranets again ... Indeed Mr. Bush. :laugh: I was wondering if someone would pick up on the choice words. ;)

How can that be done??
July 9, 200816 yr I am white, however 100% Italian. My wife has always told me I am not white, rather Italian. She says I do not look white. So when filling out forms, I should check "Other" and write in Italian.

When I first read it, I thought the same thing ... but if you think about it, there could be a case here. Caucasians usually take on characteristics of that of Germans, Scottish, Irish, Russian, British, Swedish, etc ...

It means, my skin is darker than most Puerto Ricans, Indians and middle Easterns. Therefore, I don't look like the typical Irish, German or Polish descent. Usually I am guessed as middle Eastern or Indian. I can not recall a time when people actually guessed me as Italian without knowing my last name.

Sicilian?! :wink: You must be pretty dark if your saying your darker than PRs or Indians.
July 9, 200816 yr I am Sicilian, and pretty dark. Definately darker than alot of Puerto Ricans, however not as dark as some Indians (especially the ones from southern India. I understand my wifes point, and obviously, she knows I am considered "white". But it is funny that you would call a person with my skin tones white. Race sometimes tends to be more of an ethnicity than a physical feature to me.
July 9, 200816 yr I am Sicilian, and pretty dark. Definately darker than alot of Puerto Ricans, however not as dark as some Indians (especially the ones from southern India. Interesting as most PR are dark skinned. Not the ones you see on TV, like JLo or Ricky Martin, they are more the exception.

So when filling out forms, I should check "Other" and write in Italian. Well, if you're Sicilian it is likely that a good chunk of your bloodlines do in fact trace back to the Middle East as Sicily was largely settled by Carthaginians, who hailed from Lebanon via North Africa, and by "Moors" in the Middle Ages. The other major elements in Sicily would be Greek (Syracuse was a major Classical Greek city among other Sicilian Greek settlements) and of course Italian.
July 9, 200816 yr Whew... Thank god I'm Neapolitan and Calabrese! Lawd! DanB, you're a hot mess. Correction a Neapolitan hot mess. You know chocolate, vanilla and splash of strawberry for some extra added flava! HA!

July 9, 200816 yr I understand your predicament, gotribe. When I was in El Salvador in high school, half of the people I met thought I was Salvadoran since I looked it and spoke Spanish fluently. I'm a little rusty these days....
