   I had the great pleasure of touring your beautiful country last year. Your meadows are so green! I was delighted by the sheep... you have sheep in your countryside, like we have cows.

   I'm 100% Chinese, but a Singapore one. Even though my dad's from China, whihc means I am first generation, culturally I am very different from Chinese in China, Taiwan, Hongkong...or those in the USA. I do have a grand uncle who migrated to the USA in the 1950s and have a family there. My cousins are totally differnt from me thought I had a completely English education and worked for 25 years in the US multinational company.
   
   Ethnicity and the original culture that comes with it is something we fight to keep...if we don't we will be swamp by the predominant culture that exist in any place. Fighting too hard to keep our culture may create friction with people around us.

   I am 100% Puerto-Rican.
   
   This is a great question, it is surprising to me, how many Latinos don't know HOW to identify. This is because of our dual assimilation, the many labels given to us by Americans (such as latinos and hispanics), and from self-confusion.
   
   I was born and raised in Chicago, IL (the American part) both my parents were born and raised in Puerto-Rico (the latina part) So i identify in culture and heritage as both a Puerto-Rican and an American. Many folks like to hyphenate their dual nationality such as Latin-American, Asian-American, African-American, etc. I personally don't because it doesn't get specific enough for me, i like to put Puerto-Rico on the map, if you know what i mean.
   
   Also i want to add, that even though i am a latina, i don't know or am completely knowleadgeable about the many different latin countries, so i dont fault others for it as well.

    Oh wow, you've got a rich and varied heritage! I won't go into specifics, but from my father's side I'm from South East Asia with links to Pakistan and perhaps way way in the past some ties to the Middle East... on my mother's side I've got European ties... and I'm happily married to a US citizen whose grandparents immigrated from another part of Europe... so here I am with ties to three languages, three religions, three continents... I consider myself a citizen of the world :-)

    I am boring, born and breed in France, however I believe I am 25% Swiss-German. My grandfather emigrated from Switzerland to France beginning of the century.
    
    But I am married to a Chinese-Singaporean and we leave in UK! We agreed that she keeps her Chinese name (only girls on her side, dad-in-law worried about the family name disappearing).
    
    The result is that our possible future kids might end up with a very long last name: 12 letters for mine and luckily only 3 for hers and of course a really mixed blood!

    I get mistaken many times by people because of my tendency to not mention my ethnicity at the drop of a hat. I often get mistaken for a German or Scandinavian maybe because of my accent or looks. But actually I am a Nordic(Russia)-Asian(Canton) by ethnicity, Russian by nationality and I live in Switzerland. Makes it easy to be mistaken, what with my Nordic Aryan features with a smattering of Asian looks.

    50% Greek, 50% some mix of Scottish and English.
    - Grandfather is from Greece and grandmother's parents.
    - British mix is heavier on the Scot side which either way goes back to the 1700s when they came over through VA and NC to end up in GA.
    
    My mother-in-law is from Scotland which brings our Scottish heritage closer for our household.

    Half US Half Canadian (dual citizen)... Live pretty equally between Florida, Bahamas, and Quebec... Most of my family is still in Finland. Lots of Scottish in the background as well.... Must be why I fight oppresive rule with my words of justice while wearing a kilt and blue facepaint...(not really sure what that means myself..)

    93% Irish, 7% Pennsylvania Dutch (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Dutch), lol 3 guesses where I was born
    
    Until recently I thought I was all Irish, like right off the boat Irish but apparently someone who came over before my grandparents came and stayed hooked up with and married a PA Dutch dude. I went back 9 generations, so there may be something else but I'm too lazy to dig for now
