I'm half German, a quarter Lebanese and a quarter Nicaraguan.

Mom is half Lebanese and half Nicaraguan, her mom being Nicaraguan and her dad being Lebanese.

Dad is full blood German.

My mom was born and grew up in San Fransisco (lived in Nicaragua for a year too), dad always lived in Trenton until he moved here from being in the Navy. Grandparents moved here with my mom and her two other siblings.

Born and raised here, still live here in Arizona.


I admire being more German than the other stuff, the other stuff doesn't interest me much. I'm trying to learn German and next year I'm taking a class called German I so I can learn the language.:)

I'm a military brat who went into civilian life around 9. As far as where my family is from, Ireland mostly, the rest is Caucasian mutt. But i dont see how the immediate pre-America location my family came from really matters.

Being a suburbanite in a good community leads to people who are good community suburbanites, being in an urban/section 8/bad suburban area leads to people who are most likely going to share most of their behavior in common with those groups of people... How you are raised, how much peer influence you had, and the kinds of people who your peers were affects you a lot more than the location that your family line was prior to coming to America.

Note that that excludes people who are not part of America or are first/second generation immigrants.

I'm from Puerto Rican

Some of my grandparents immigrated here from places like Poland and Australia.

So, I'm mostly German and English, but entirely American Mutt. lol

On my mom's side I have Cherokee, Russian, English, German and Seminole. On my dad's side I have Polish and some others I'm unsure of. As a baby I looked REALLY Polish!
