I am American, but actually I'm over half Irish. Hence the fact that I have red hair.I am not ashamed of where I came from...

I'm NOT African, sorry.
Put a colour pic up or we won't believe ya! hehe

This is completely off topic, but kinda interesting how people choose to define their nationality based on where their ancestors came from, rather than where they were born or brought up.
How far back do you go? I'm guessing most Americans go back to whoever emigrated there and not any further. How do you judge 'over half'? One parent born in Ireland (for example) and 100% descended from people of 100% Irish descent (can anyone ever know that?) plus a bit more somewhere? Or is it just self-perception?
Maybe it's interesting to me as it isn't as common here in the "old world" as it is in the newer countries except with immigrants. But then maybe a lot of Americans still see themselves as immigrants? There aren't many people with ancestry 100% native to America around are there?
Fuck knows. I've got Scottish and German ancestors, prob some others too and go back far enough and we all came from Africa. But I don't see myself as African either (or Scottish, German, etc) so maybe perception is more important than genetics?
