how is life there, is it tense due to Russia/breakaway regions?
Constantly politically polarized for a never-ending number of reasons, I'd say.
Brazillian lmao
Probably a mix of Açorian + African + Portuguese + Native brazillian somewhere in the past.

White. Both parents from the German Westphalia region. With links to Scandinavia and Netherlands in the past centuries. More white is not possible.
I'm a swede in Sweden with a swedish line going back to at least mid 1800s (only know back to my grandfathers grandfathers father (and a lot of his siblings moved to US around 1850 with unknown fates)). The line probably goes back a couple of more hundred years with white swedish couples, so I'm white as heck. There is trouble researching farther back with the change of last name each generation with common patronymic names (and also not being a part of a house/clan/line (ätt)).
I've met quite a bit of people from Georgia and I must say you're some nice people.
Man, I need more Churchkhela (I had to search for the name lol)
I've never identified with "Asian" as that means "narrow eyes" to most White people.
So quite frankly I don't know what my race is. I always go with Aryan to throw people off, as I can actually lay claim to that term and people get confused because I'm not blue-eyed, White, and blonde.
Then again, where I live, "race" simply is never an issue as it is in the US. Not saying racism doesn't exist, trust me it does, but not this concept of race really.
Oh hey. Half Irish, half Egyptian, though born in England.
Seems about white as I thought Era would be.
You do realize Indians are Asians right? Indians are not a race.
"Race" is a weird concept to begin with; German Wikipedia flat out describes it as old-fashioned and scientifically disputed.
While yes, Indians are just as Asian as, say Japanese people, the only similarity those two have is that they're from the same and largest continent. I don't how or why you'd want to lump the two together based on that fact alone.
edit: ethnicity is a better term, but even then Indians and Japanese are not of the same ethnicity, sooo
You're joking right?
A user was complaining about how the options are restrictive and you corrected them for what THEY identify as. Now I went on and corrected you, about how your correction was misguided.
But sure, let's not talk about race in a thread about race.
Nice. I'm Egyptian on my maternal side and have family in Alexandria where my mum born. I was also born and bred in England, although I spent a few years in Egypt as a kid. Been a while since my last visit and do miss my family there and the country itself a great deal. It'll be my fist port of call when the pandemic is over.
Don't know what to select
From my father's side it's pretty much southern (Calabrian) Italian and central/northern Italian.
My mother's side has native peoples from northeastern Brazil, Dutch, black (we don't from exactly where) and Portuguese in no specific proportion (that is, average Brazilian acestry)
I'd say I look Mediterranean white, no one in either France or Italy (not just Paris and Rome) ever seemed to recognize me as foreign (I'd guess Greece and Portugal as well but never been) until I opened my mouth. Am definitely categorized as white in Brazil, have no idea how people in US would qualify me.

If you're in Germany and you ask someone "which race they are" you are probably a Neonazi, as the literal translation of it is "Rasse" which noone uses due to it's connotation with the Nazi regime.
White. Totally inbred French Canadian.
Are French Canadian really inbred?
Fortunately, we are becoming less inbred in the past century and looking good for the future for more and more diversity.

What makes "white" a race and not "British" or "French"?
(Race and ethnicity are all constructs; obviously edge cases exist, etc.; however there is such a thing as common usage.)
