Well I was born and still live in the US.

But as far as backgrounds go, I'm the product of an Irish-Italian marriage. My Dad is Irish...I think both his parents were Irish but I don't know if they were actually born in Ireland or not. They used to have a lot of Irish stuff around the house and in the kitchen.

My mom's side is very Italian with a bit of German from my grandfather. My great grandparents were the ones that made the trip to the US.

I'm Chinese, and speak Cantonese. If you want to go further though in terms of what Chinese province...I know I'm 3/4 Chiu Chow. I don't remember the other province. *shrug*

I am a chinese too, speak cantonese too. :evil:

Both my parents and grandparents speak cantonese too. My mum is from Malaysia and my grandparents from my dad side is from China. Dun ask me which part.

My mom is a full blooded Filipino, and my Dad is a mix of just about all the Europen countries. I have no idea what that makes me though.. o_O

my mom's mom was born in indonesia, and her dad (as well as my mom) was born in holland. (interesting side note: my grandparents had to ride a BOAT from indonesia to holland with three little kids under the age of seven. my mom was born there, and they got on another boat, this time with three kids and a baby, to america. crazy!)

my dad's just black. heh

I'm Chinese and hail from the province of Sichuan. I speak Sichuanese and Mandarin. However, I've lived in the States most of my life. I need to go back and visit more often.

According to my adoption papers my mother was Irish/French and my father was Caucasian.

I got a feeling that one day, everybody will be a mixture of everything.

From most to least:

Irish, Spanish, French, German, English, Welsh

To be more specific. On my mother's side: One great grandmother was Irish, and one great grandfather was half Spanish and half French. The other great grandmother was Irish and a bit Welsh, and the other great grandfather was black Irish (which means Irish with some Spanish blood mixed in).
And the German and English comes from my dad's side, but I don't know much about it. Also, on his side, there's probably some Native American.

Let's just call me an American. =D

Russian and Spanish/Bolivian (my dad's from Bolivia, a Spanish-speaking country...).

Though I've got some Inca mixed in from like ages and ages ago, so sayeth my mother the family genealogist. Yes, Inca. Heh.

My father is English (so Caucasian). My mother is Hungarian. My maternal Grandfather was Hungarian, I think, but I believe the place of his birth has been parts of other countries and it may currently be part of Slovakia.

Most ppl have mixed heritage background: that's really awsome to get in touch w/ different ethicity!

I myself is Chinese and speaks Mandarin, although I'm loosing it fast.. :roll:
