I'm German.
Oh god, I'm a nazi! o.o
And, of course, I'm personally responsible for everything bad Germany has ever done.

My scottish ancestors were probably forced out by queen elizabeth to Ireland, and then in turn to America, but I haven't created a Scottish College Fund
I have traced my racial ancestry as far back as my mum and dad. I'm half Scottish, half Geordie.
Thats as far back as most people need to go in my opinion.

White. Or Nordic actually, if that's one. Some Germanic and Russian ancestors from 8-15 older generations. At least by judging from the sound of some names from family trees/records.
I don't really get this thread. And no, there isn't a need to explain it. I've just never ever heard a 'sob story' like that, so no, I don't get annoyed by them.

The past is a history book, only to be looked at with an unbiased view in order to learn a lesson.
Anyone who ties emotion to their past, especially when it's before they were even born, is a whiny ***** trying to find someone else to blame for shit going wrong in their life.

Every great empire was built on the backs of slaves. Also slaves of today got it better then the slaves of yesteryear when it came to an end. Also we still have slaves, they're called Butlers and maids now.
50%- Eastern European Ashkenazi Jewish, mainly Hungarian.
25%- English-Irish Caucasian.
25%- Unknown as my grandmother was adopted and the records are sealed.
And a bit of asian in there somewhere as the genetic tests reveal.
Certainly a diverse bunch, my ancestors.
I certainly wouldn't judge anyone based on their race or religion. It is important to learn about the events of the past and remember those who have lost their lives because of hatred. In my opinion we should do this in order to learn from our past mistakes and work towards a better future, not in order to point a blaming finger towards anyone in the present.

Well I have Dwemer and Dunmer origins. So, not only do I have ancestors who are now completely gone, I am also mistrusted by almost everyone because of my ancestors actions. Great fucking work guys.
To answer the question: people should stick to their own cultures and not attempt to shoulder the burden of their ancestors for no reason. That said, there are certain things which can't just be forgotten.
Example: an Irish American whose only real tie to Ireland is his Great Great Grandfather who emigrated in the 1840's doesn't really have the right to be mad at the British. But someone whose father was killed by the British army on Bloody Sunday [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Sunday_(1972)] kind of does.
