Your Ethnicity
At a recent reptile expo, a friend commented on something I had honestly never noticed. He said, “wow, sure is a lot of white people here…” (He is South Asian/Indian.)
And you know what? He was right. We counted about 8 non-Caucasians in total. (Yes, we made it a game. )
The thing is, I live in a very multicultural city. According to Statistics Canada, the Greater Toronto Area’s visible minorities will make up 63% of the area’s total population by 2031. There are presently over 1.3 Million South Asians alone, out of a total population of 5.9 million (2006).
So… My question to the group is: what ethnicity are you?
I would be interested in learning if my local observations are atypical or more common than would seem statistically plausible. (And if I’m able to disprove my friend’s assertion that “white people are just crazy” that would be great, too! )
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

Re: Your Ethnicity
I'm a mix of 3 different things, so I guess I chose Multiracial?
I'm 1/4 Hispanic/Nicaraguan (my grandma is Nicaraguan and was born there), 1/4 Lebanese, and 1/2 German. Though, people tell me I look more Italian sometimes even though there is no one in my family who is Italian.

Re: Your Ethnicity
I've been involved in reptiles, the sales and production of them both in retail and privately for several decades. I've been to a LOT of shows.
It's mostly white folks. It always has been.
I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

The poll is about ethnicity (racial background), not nationality (what country you are from/live in). I believe there has already been one, or possibly more, polls about nationality.
I suppose if I wanted to be hyper-technical I could have added a lot more demographics and sub-sects, but I just thought a general overview would suffice.
If I left any groups out I apologize. No offence intended.

Re: Your Ethnicity
I'm pretty fly, for a white guy....
My relatives were from Norway, Sweden and Germany. You just can't get much whiter then that.
Also, for some reason, my hair keeps getting whiter every day...
