I asked a woman once, in a line of questioning....is your husband white black or hispanic.. response, he's Maltese...I repeat the question, response, he's Maltese. Finally, I say, okay white. Tasmania is even more obscure than Malta. That is way neat.

And this is my second marriage so my daughter is half German!! Have quite a few nationalities covered,

my son had a South African girlfriend for a while.....!!

Here's a question I've thought about... my mind is odd....

What about someone like Charlize Theron? She was born in South Africa, so doesn't that make her African/American? Would that bother black African/Americans? Does that mean we need even another category or subcategory?

My Dad was 100% French..my maiden name ended in 'eaux
My Mom was Irish...her name was Smith.

My dh tells me I have I have the temper of an Irishman and the "bad attitude" of the French

.....but he loves me still!

I assume you mean the highlighted part? I agree, rather rude, well, low class would describe it well.

tsk tsk tsk

My grandpa on my mom's side was born in the US. He joined the military and went to Australia in WWII, where he met my grandma.. so I am 25% Australian.

I believe that most of the family on my dad's side is Canadian.

Yeah, tried that.. put it on my headstone. soggy chicken. Deep frying works great. I just hate failing at something that every granny is supposed to be able to do. And I don't make chicken and dumplings.. I make chicken and doughballs.

Okay, agreed enough with the cooking channel.....

Yeah- being from the DEEP South , I'm expected to make the perfect biscuits--But they always wind up as hard as Ellie May Clampett"s ladyfingers (can be used as clay pigeons, lol) !

Charlize is South African. I don't think she changed her citizenship to American did she? The majority of people from South Africa are white aren't they?

DamSweet · 08-29-2010, 04:03 PM

100% Polish in me - (and a little Italian at times...lol)
