Answer 1

I think you wouold probably just be considered mixed. Both my parents are mexican but both side of my grandparents had one parent who had nore of a spaniard look and another who was more of a indiginous look. Thats why a lot of people from mexico are considered mestizos. Meaning mixed with other races mostly from people from spain and indiginous people. So i guess you tried to clasify yourself as one thing it would get real confusing.

Answer 2

You have four grandparents, so if one grandparent was Creole you are 1/4 Creole. You have 8 great-grandparents, so if a grandfather was Irish you are 1/8 Irish. You have a mixed heritage.

Answer 3

Yes you would be 1/4 Creole ... but isn't that a language. I know it is. It's the language that Haitian people speak. My school has bilingual class's for it, since a vast number of students are Haitains

Answer 4

A creole is just a mixture of backgrounds with African influence so I would say yes.
