What do you think my ethnicity is?

[Sonomaa]

the correct answer is jedi

the correct answer is jedi

An interesting turn of events, Jedi never once crossed my mind. That explains how and why she is able to leave the kitchen so freely.

I wont fall for your Jedi shenanigans any longer!

the ethnic thing like I said doesn't matter too much. Hell when my fiance and I get married our kids will be mutts no matter what I am (he's Philippino btw). Like I said it's something that pops up in my head whenever those things come up (I registered to take the CSET test yesterday and it asked the ethnicity question), so figured I'd see what people thought.

Won't change my lifestyle or outlook or anything, just seeing what people think. XD

You have no idea. There are 4 pairs of interracial couples in the my office, of which are all white guys and asian wives. I swear to god their kids are so god damn good looking it's ridiculous. One of the guys looks like the WoW dude who just got arrested, his two daughters are so off-the-wall hot that I won't be surprised that Chris Hanson will pay me a visit sooner or later. They are really having the best of both worlds.

Hmm... I wonder what a Puerto Rican/Lebanese baby grow up looking like.

Rosy Perez or Ryko if it's a boy.

What color are your nipples? That will help to determine what your ethnicity really is.

Tell 'em, they don't listen.

[Neosutra]

Do you smell? This will help with my decision.

Pink = white
Brown = middle eastern
Less than pink but not brown = European
Darker brown (than your skin color) = black

Posting a picture would help. We could identify your ancestry by your racial characteristics.

Based on your physical description, I'm going to guess:

Spoiler: show

lolwut

I wish I had a picture of my dad uploaded to compare. My sister looks hella lot more egyptian than I do.

Is your sister hot? Subquestion, is she available?

Seriously though, I put White.

[tyven]

you are white devil and you know it

[archibaldcrane]

I really, really hope you put African on anything related to college entrance, scholarships, etc. etc.

You should've gone for full ride/Ivy League.

Also, your dad is ridiculous for being so prideful about "European" and so offended about "Middle Eastern". He sounds like quite the bigot.

I have a friend who looks greek - his mom is white Utah mormon, his dad is Libyan (light-skinned black looking from the one photo I saw, complete with frizzy afro), and was deported in the late '80s when Qadafi started acting up. I always yell at him to put down that he's african on forms and such, might as well abuse affirmative action while it still exists.

Speaking of "hot BG girls", I wonder how many of the "ducks" in the FoD thread would be considered "hot" if they posted on BG.

People come up to me and speak Spanish, and I dont understand a word, People come up to me ans speak Arabic, and I dont understand them.

I get alot of dirty looks from Hispanics(for not knowing Spanish), Middle Easterners(for not knowing Arabic), and white people cause I look like a Terrorist or Illegal Alien. Black people are always cool with me.

God Bless America.

This reminds me of the APS meeting a few weeks ago. I guess people assume that black people will never be physicists, so when they saw me at the APS meeting they automatically assumed I was from Africa. I'm brown skinned, not that light, but not nearly dark enough to look like I'm from any of those countries they were from. Every 15 minutes or so an African guy (or group of Africans) would run up to me speaking to me in some language I don't know or asking me what country I'm from. They looked so shocked when they heard my American accent or when I told them I was from America. This one African guy laughed because he thought I was joking when I said I'm from Ohio (and another guy asked me "What part of Africa is 'Ohio' in?"

Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Derrick Pitts immediately come to mind whenever black physicists are mentioned, but your point is well taken.

There were three other black people there, but they were all professors. One of them did a presentation on the history of African Americans in Astrophysics/Theoretical physics. In all of history there was only 40 (which is actually about 10 times higher than I expected to be honest).
