On both sides of my family, we are a melange of Black, White, and American Indian (Blackfoot and Cherokee known, so far). If I had to call it something, my preference is Tri-Racial or MGM (multi-generationally mixed). I've done my family's genealogy for about 30 years, and it is still a work in progress. My view of the world is from a "world-view" perspective.
I reject the notion of percentages, and also resent categorizations in employment, identification, law enforcement, and education. Recently, I had a negative experience in enrolling my nephew (who is in my care) for kindergarten. (His mother--my sister--shares my racial composition. His father is White.) An application at the school required racial designation. The available boxes were "White," "Black," "Native American," and "Hispanic." Upon selecting the first three boxes, the staff informed me that my answer was unacceptable, and that the school system could only accept one answer. I told them that the unacceptable thing was their policy, and that it should be changed. I opted not to indicate any racial designation, and they told me that that, too, was unacceptable. I will be contacting the school board in our region--Las Vegas, NV--to address this inequity. In this day and age, where the 2000 census permitted self-designation in terms of race, so should a local school system.
What is the big deal?

I am a colossal mutt. I have a total of 10 nationalities represented within me of varying percentages. I may be primarily caucasian, but I am also 1/8 Native American (from 2 separate tribes) and 1/64 African American. Most of me is European, including 1/8 Irish, English, Spanish, French, Scottish, Dutch, German and Italian.

White. (Mostly Irish, with some French & English.)
Also, rumored to have Native American ancestry but I can't prove it. I'm considering taking one of those DNA tests which can supposedly pinpoint the exact percentage, if any.

Part "beaner" and proud, also Italian and Polish.
And to magict1974 ... white is not an ethnicity, it's a color ...
are you Finnish? Russian? Norwegian? English? Irish? German? French? Dutch? Danish? Spanish?
