What country do people think you're from?

[Chopper3000]

Denise Richards is one of the hottest girls out there, so I take that as a compliment, but IMO I don't think I look anything like her. Plus my eyes are currently green with my contacts.



[[[[[Yeah that's the thing with living in the USA. Just about everyone has some sort of mixed up background. We're all mutts. But if someone was born in the US with the last few of their generations being from the USA and not having come from other countries, I consider them simply American. I told the most recent guy who asked me where I was from, "I'm American." He laughed and said he likes that, cuz most people will go off saying, "Oh I'm part Irish, German, English, French, and Indian." Like really? Aren't we all? As if that makes us special or something that we have this mixed background of like 12 different ethnicities.
But aside from that, I think the USA has the most diverse mix of people in the world, and I consider that a good thing. Where I live in NY, there's more people from the Dominican Republic than there are caucasians. Most of them try talking to me in Spanish as if I know that language just because I live here. The only Spanish I can speak is the numbers 1-10 and the word hello. ]]]]]


I've was chatting to a rather good looking woman in a club in NYC (a night club, not that sort of club you are all thinking...), really bizarre she told me that I wouldn't like her as I'm English & she's Scottish. I said you don't sound very Scottish (she had a very strong NY accent) and she promptly said she was as her 'great great great grandfather was from Scotland'. Outstanding she was about as Scottish as an Ewok (but with a better looking arse).

Yup. To me it just sounds so stupid for people to say, "Oh I'm 1/4 Irish, 1/8 German, 1/4 French, 1/8 English, 1/8 Indian, and 1/8 something else." No you're not. You're American. I mean really, does anyone in your family currently come from or live in one of those countries? If so, who is he to you? Your second cousin removed? Did your great-great-great-great-great grandfather come from France? And your great-great-great-great grandmother come from Germany? Bunch of bullshit.

Some people will go on pressing me for some sort of heritage so if they keep annoying me, like saying, "Where are you from?" Here. "But what's your heritage?" American. "Yeah, but what's your background? You have this certain look, you must be something exotic." I'll finally say, "My great-great grandfather was from Czechoslovakia." And then they'll say, "I knew it! You just have this very exotic look about you." Uuuuuugh. I am NOT czech, I am not anything from anywhere other than here.

Because you know what that makes me? With my great-great-grandfather being from Czechoslovakia? That makes me 1/14 Czech. That doesn't count. Not one bit.

 

[gunslingingbird]

A couple of times on cam, a guy has asked if I am Latina! I literally LOLed because I am the whitest white chick, my background is Irish, German and English.

And that means...? Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina have huge colonies of European immigrants. In Mexico, there are people from Michoacan, Chihuahua, Nuevo León, and Durango that look more Swedish than Mexican, but they consider themselves Hispanic, they speak Spanish (Mennonites still speak German in their communities), their culture is more closely related, overall, to Mexican culture than to any other, and they consider Mexico to be their homeland without claiming ties to another country.

Many people mistake me for Samoan... but I'm 100% Hispanic.

Half of Patagonia in Argentina speak Welsh. Interestingly, Welsh is the only language in the world that can only be spoken with a mouth full of water.

If you didn't say you were from Finland, I'd have guessed you were Indian seeing as your last name is Assari.

well i am 1/4 german, grandmother, mum's side. even here in europe people from different nationalities got mixed up, lately we have an albanian black balerina that performs in paris. everyone wonders how she is albanian but she declares herself so, and she's stunning. her father was african, but she went mum's side, who's albanian. my uncle's wife is macedonian. (i live in macedonia and albanians are the largest minority here).

 

[mikexmoran]

Nice post. A fellow New Yorker, Teddy Roosevelt, had a similar point of view and did not agree with the "hyphenated American". He insisted the loyalty be towards America and that we are 100% American.

Well it's not that I'm all for being so proud of America and being so loyal toward it. I mean if you're from Germany and your parents and grandparents are german, then that's what you are. Same with any other country/nationality. I just hate when people are like, "Oh I'm part this, part that, part this and that!" It's just so unnecessary. Like no shit, everyone is part something somewhere along the line. The only people I consider to be part something and part something else are people whose mom is Chinese and dad is Arabic, or something like that. Something that's noticeable and obvious.

 

[luis1972]

Mine of course...Peru

 

[Mr. Hyde]

I don't know, but I was in Dublin once, in a club, talking with an Irish girl, and somehow the subject of "where are you from" came up. She said she knew I was American before I even opened my mouth. She said she could tell because I was wearing Tommy Hilfiger.

 

[SpexyAshleigh]

People who watch me on cam either think I'm American or British. The British one really boggles me because I don't have a british accent..?

 

[Dazza MXM]

l'm an aussie, both parents born here as were my grandparents

So l'm an aussie

 

[Briana Lee]

I've been called pretty much everything under the sun but Latina is a common one. That or Kardashian! Haha!

The accent alone is just about all I need. I mean if you're completely obese, drenched in sweat, wearing a wife beater, sitting on your couch huffing and puffing because you just walked out to the end of your yard to pick up your mail, have slobber all over your face, and smell like farts and sweat, then I don't care who you are or what accent you have, that's yuck. But seriously, the accent is so sexy, you don't have to be the hottest guy on the block to turn me on. All you have to do is talk. Doesn't even matter what you're saying.

Last summer I was taking my dog for a walk by these fields (this was in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania) and this guy was walking toward me. All he said was, "Pardon me, but how do I get to *name road* from here?" had this whole conversation with me about directions to this road he was looking for. And he was fucking british. Uuugh I could not get that out of my mind all day that I talked to a british guy. I mean... I'm pretty sure I'd go more gaga over a regular English guy than I would if he were standing next to Johnny Depp. If I got to pick between the two to take home and sleep with, it'd definitely be the English guy.

I've got an English friend! I should hook you guys up!

 

[RidemyCock]

I'm Mulatto so I often hear Egyptian, Brazilian, Spanish, or Puerto Rican.

 

[gunslingingbird]

Interestingly, Welsh is the only language in the world that can only be spoken with a mouth full of water.

I was surprised by my vacuum cleaner the other day. I was cleaning around my work bench where I dropped a box of nails, and just like that it said in perfect Welsh, "Good morning, sir! Have you checked the stock market today?" Freaked ME out! :surprise:

I've got an English friend! I should hook you guys up!

Ya know, I've got a thing for girls from the Midwest, St. Louis specifically. Especially if they're a quarter Chinese, have pugs named Lola, and like to post pictures of their boobs on the interwebz. Know of anyone you could hook me up with? :shy:

 

[ApolloBalboa]

Apparently I look Russian, or so someone told me. I suppose it's fitting, I have some family from around there.

 

[vodkazvictim]

So from your looks, did anyone ever thought you're from somewhere else than you actually are?

For example Briana Lee. She's Caucasian American, but many people think she's either Persian or Latina. And I see where they're coming from.

Today a patient at work thought I'm from Turkey and another girl I had on my ambulance once thought I'm Iranian. I'm Aryan, dammit!


Anyone ever thought you're a foreigner? Or are you a stereotypical example for your area/country?

Well ya know, the German and the turk do stick together.

I'm a sucker for English men :drool2:

Why?
You should talk to my wife; what she'll tell you will put you off English men for life.

i look like a person of slavic descent because i am, so eastern european countries are popular guesses as to my heritage.

Slavic? You must be fugly then.

That's funny 'cause I'm melting when a girl has a British accent.

But guys? Ugh...They always sound like drunk trash. :uohs: Except when they're wearing a tuxedo. Now that's classy.

Why?
Yeah, sadly British boys do have a reputation for being drunken football hooligans. I remember my Austrian Auntie and her friends asking me why British boys just want to get drunk and fight.

The accent alone is just about all I need. I mean if you're completely obese, drenched in sweat, wearing a wife beater, sitting on your couch huffing and puffing because you just walked out to the end of your yard to pick up your mail, have slobber all over your face, and smell like farts and sweat, then I don't care who you are or what accent you have, that's yuck.

So... what if I'm just fat, freshly washed, wearing smart clothes, sitting on my sofa (we say sofa not couch over here in the UK, although sadly americanisms are spreading and I percieve our youth as losing their heritage to american media), enjoy the gym, no slobber and don't like farts, could I take you out?

PS. I want to hear a british guy say "top banana".

Give me your phone number and it's on.

i'm from macedonia, close. i wont steal your weapons or whatever, because don't plan on killing anybody, yet.

EXO XENO!!!!

If you didn't say you were from Finland, I'd have guessed you were Indian seeing as your last name is Assari.

Ya see, I don't get why people wear contacts or glases; the eyes are the window to the soul and they can be just so beautiful (any woman who doesn't have pretty eyes has an incredible disadvantage in my book), so why would you wish to obscure your eyes with glasses or contacts?

The really funny thing is that we all come from Africa originally and that there is no guarantee that your lineage is what you think it is (what was mummy doing while daddy was working today?).
I always remember the xenophobic British nationalist who had his genetic origin analysed and the result? UKRAINEAN HERITAGE! :rofl: Little Russia!

l'm an aussie, both parents born here as were my grandparents

So l'm an aussie

My condolencies :tongue:

I've been called pretty much everything under the sun but Latina is a common one. That or Kardashian! Haha!

Yes, you should hook us up.


As for me, on the internet I'm frequently mistaken for Russian.
I've claimed to be just about everything on Freeones for a joke, but the truth is that I'm 25% English (what are the chances that that in itself is comprised of sub-ethnicities?) 25% Irish, 25% Swiss and 25% Polish.
As a consequence I look like what I am: European.
I was told once that I looked american in profile (just like Lucy Liu I suppose).

I was born in England. My mother in Switzerland. Her mother in England.
My father was born in Ireland. His father in Poland.

 

[Mr_Stiffy]

Yeah, sadly British boys do have a reputation for being drunken football hooligans.

Yeah..... I had a week in France a couple of weeks ago and there were only two of us (out of six) that were genuine football fans, but when we were having a conversation about the shameful behaviour of "Britain abroad" and I happily agreed that I abhor people that wear their football kits abroad on holiday, wearing their "colours" in some tribal display as though it were a coat of arms. It's pathetic, like people in other countries give a shit, or other fans will see you "representing" in a foreign country. I really think lads who were football shirts when they are neither watching nor playing the game are wankers. Incidentally the whole week I only spotted one typical yobbo wearing his football top at the bar.... a Liverpool fan. Say no more.

(we say sofa not couch over here in the UK, although sadly americanisms are spreading and I percieve our youth as losing their heritage to american media)

In my house we still say settee. :uohs:

And yes, the spreading of Americanisms is terrible. I have one friend that says "my bad" which I cannot stand, and anybody born in this country that says "season" in place of "series" makes me want to slap them.
