What Race are You?

[The Sum of Awe]

What race label do you belong to?

Please if you're going to say "there is no race, just love" or something like that, keep it to yourself, you know what I'm talking about when I say race...

Swedish Caucasian (Sverige malmohus, to be exact)

 

[YmirGF]

I am a member of the Human Race. (Are there others?)

If you are fixated on skin tone, for some odd reason, I am a WASP (minus the Protestant bit).

Bingo.
thus the reason i chose other on the poll

I didn't vote. Such distinctions are irrelevant in a modern world.

This includes the "human race" saying too, sorry to burst your bubble

Pinky shade of white (oh the shame) and sometimes ashen grey due to hangovers and such.

 

[Infinitum]

There seems to be some dispute going on about whether I'm caucasian or mongoloid. I'll report back when the science community has decided.

What does it matter? Also, how does one define race? Really, I am not fully certain what you mean by race.

If I have a drop of say "negroid" blood in me, does that make me "negroid?" And does "hispanic" even compose a race? I also saw it more as an ethnic group, as really the defining aspect there is that they are Spanish speaking. That can cover nearly any so called "race."

And what do you mean by "mongoloid?" That seems like nothing more than a racist (or defamatory) label. So I am wondering where you got the so called "races" that you posted? As they primarily seem to be offensive terms, that don't really describe "races" or even used unless insulting someone.



As for me personally, my distant ancestors originated in Africa. At some time, they migrated to the Middle East. From there, they moved to Europe (southern Germany), and eventually to the United States. And that is just one side of my family. Today, I'm quite white in skin tone (I have been mistaken for Native American or Asian though, when I tan a little), but have a variety of different "race" blood in me. So really, I have no idea how to answer your question.

[gnomon]

None.

And how in the world did Hispanic wind up with terms like Mongoloid?

Well...
There was not a Heinz 57 option so....

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

you know what I'm talking about when I say race...

I don't.

It wasn't that long ago that "Irish", "English" and "Scottish" were all considered separate races.

 

[Flankerl]

Race? Really? Are we in the 17th-20th century again?


Iam a female human being, have blond hair, light tanned white skin and brown eyes. My blood type is O-.


Actually it makes more sense to generalise uh i mean classify people in blood types. Thank god that iam O- and therefore from the bloodtype masters.
