You can consider yourself any of the above, or American. I would suggest picking the one you have most of, but it really dosen't matter, the main thing is you are a person who deserves respect reguardless.

A person.
What races are in you. Let's do the math.
grandmother 1/2 CHA, 1/2 AA
her child 1/4 CHA, 1/4 AA
you 1/8 CHA, 1/8 AA
grandfather 1/2 G, 1/2 D
his child 1/4 G, 1/4 D
you 1/8 G, 1/8 D
I'm assuming your great grandmother is your grandmother's mother, so we've already included her in the numbers.
So to sum things up.
You are 1/8 cherokee native american, 1/8 africain american, 1/8 german and 1/8 domincan.
That only adds up to 1/2, but you have not told us what you other half is, so you are 1/2 something else.
Some people concider 1/8 to mean you are that race, so if you are one of those you could be all those races.
But really, you are just you, a person.

Dominicans tend to be black. Your grandparents (the 2 you provided info for) made you mostly black. Unless you tell us what your parents are that's all I can tell you. Please don't be offended by my use of the word "black." The term African American makes me uncomfortable. What do we call people of African heritage that are Dominicans, Haitians, or Brits? Are they African Britons, etc? I don't know, but I just think if I say "black" we all know what I'm talking about.

Most people go by the way you physically look. It seems to me as if you are more African American than anything else.Dominicans have African American in them too

I'd say american, if people press for more detail, heinz 57 is a common term we use here...means you have a very diverse ancestral background!

Like most (if not all) you're a mutt.
Try not to worry about your race. Too much pride about a race leads to problems. You ever notice that people who feel VERY proud about their race tend walk around with a chip on their shoulder?

You funny! I like you mind you but damn that sounds hilarious in view of all the cultural and racial conflict swirling around everywhere. You make it all sound pretty damn stupid. I don't know what to tell you and you don't care anyway but you keep telling people that. Anybody should get a little insight and maybe a laugh over that story. What kinda diversity we got here? heh he he! Love it. loltdy
