Immigration is a pretty recent thing here (edit: on a significant scale at least), so if your family is not from border regions it's really not that surprising.
Is anyone else like me?

Red blooded 100% American badass.
Nationality: American
Ethnicity: African ancestry, Native American (Blackfoot), Irish, Creole (on fathers).
Lately, I have been interested in trying to find out about our family tree. Thankfully, my grandmother is still alive so I can talk to her. The only difficult part is finding out about my grandfather's family on my paternal side. It's like no one wants to talk about his family. I recently submitted to have dna test done, just to see what can be found. I doubt we have native american ancestry. Irish or other white ancestry I believe due to majority being light skinned, with one aunt able to pass for being white. Some with curly hair, others without. Should be interesting to get the results.

Blood-wise, I'm Ukrainian. I most identify with Latino-American culture because of where I grew up. Confuses people a lot.

Born in Canada
and I'm some shit like:
37.5% Filipino
37.5% Portuguese
12.5% Chinese
12.5% Spanish (Spain)
but that's too complicated, so I always just say half Filipino, half Portuguese hahaha. It's probably because I was pretty much raised with the Filipino & Portuguese cultures as those are the dominant races for each respective parent.

I have a corrolary question: if you are multiethnic, do you look multiethnic or did some portion of your heritage happen to take dominance? If you are 50% Japanese and 50% German, for example, do you look like 50/50? Do you look basically white? Could you move to Japan and fit right in?

I remember a Black Jewish Gaffer living in Savannah (not necessarily in that order). That's pretty damn cool.
My daughter is from Hungarian French Morrocan Tunisian and Jewish descent with a sprinkle of Berber and Slovak. We speak 3 different languages at home (among the 7 my GF speaks). We're pretty chill about mixing it up.

Cool mix!
I am the whitest Mexican ever. The Irish is too strong. Most people think I'm half-Asian, strangely enough.
I did a very scientific study and have found that I am the whitest Colombian ever.

It depends on who I'm talking to. I've startled other Mexicans when I break out into perfectly pronounced Spanish. Some then still ask me where I'm from and they tell me they thought I was "a white boy." lol! I've heard comments about not seeing such deep jet black hair on such a fair skinned person... (I even have some rosacea on my face, which iirc is generally a white skin problem) I've had a Native American ask me if I was half native. So I guess I do look like some chimera of sorts.

Haha. I dunno. I can see a bit in you.
You do glow a bit in the dark, though. Hi-five!Alas. I think the Japanese throws them off.
