I'm just curious to see what everyone's ethnic background is like. Personally, I'm of german, italian, french, and yugoslavian descent. How about you?

That I know of I'm a half Irish, half English Caucasian. However, apparently my surname is a Spanish name from the Elizabethan era, so I don't know what to make of that.
I have about 8 different ethnicity in my blood but primarily Irish and Italian. One of my old history teachers said "bad combination" when we had to tell the class. He was one of those old style teachers that would still hit you with a ruler for sleeping but if you got on his good side, which I did, you had an easy A.
rural Scottish farmers (the orginal sheep shaggers) as far back as I know. Except for one grandfather, who was a policeman.
Quite frankly I'm bloody lucky I'm not ginger or overtly alcoholic.
Kind of related, my surname. When at primary school, we had to research our family surnames.
My freinds all had things like Ramsey (of strong fist!) or McTeague (descended from the mighty clan of Teague, meaning beautiful flower!).
I had Short. Guess where that comes from? "He who is short of stature".

Well lets see, I am German, Hungarian, Russian, Irish, English, French, taht I know of, so that boils down to me being an American.
I don't identify with any culture present in either modern or historic human society, so I tend to ignore my background. But, genetically, it goes something like this:
Russian (about half)
Irish (about a fifth)
Scottish (about a fifth)
Canadian (about a tenth)
I'm not sure about the exact proportions, but these are the closest I can think of right now.
i used to say i was russian but then i realized that for the past three hundred years russia has sucked and i dont really like anything in the culture so i tend to identify as human
