    I was born American.

    My mother and my father were both French. Their parents were also born in America, but before them, was my great grandparent, who lived in Canada.

    I am Full Blooded French.

    So, come on- Show off your true nationality. Let others see what your make up is all about.


    You want to see diversity in HubPages, post your Nationality and read others.

    Thank you for your time.

        I apologize if you got the impression that I spoke the language. That isn't the case. I am full blooded french, because both my parents were only french, as well, as my ancestor, back to Canada. The language was never passed down in my family, which is to say the least about my family, without getting into too much detail.

        So, with that said- I have no clue what you said means. Please clarify? Thank you in advance. smile

          Joyeux Noel! I simply said Merry Christmas in French. Sorry. I didn't know you didn't speak a little French. I was trying to be friendly. I just thought this time of year it would be okay to say as much and you might have a French Christmas tradition.

      My Mother bourne American was blessed with Scotch Irish French, My Father was blessed with Full-Blood Danish.
      Her Father a Full-Blood Scottisman.
      Her Mother Irish, French.
        I was bourne American in Norfolk,Nebraska
      I have a photo of her during highschoool. There is no doubt there is a strong line of Native American somewhere in her bloodline cause of the strong defined features, then, she changed as time came on & a Scottishwoman developed or French.
      A Lady of moral, & class, played in the arts & antiquities.

      When I teach i come across kids with issues about this.
      i avoid trouble by telling them if they were born here in America then they are American.
      That's the way i feel even though my ancestors are European i was born in Hawaii after it became a state so i am American.

              Does that mean you're referring to Chinese as being "a mutt"?  You, see, I have taken quite the offense to your statement.  Anyone of your statements to be honest.  And, you're digging yourself deeper and deeper into the hole.

                I chose that because it was better than being a mutt. I never would imply that in any way shape or form. My family we're completely illiterate laboers until around the 1930's Most couldn't read or write and had other people sign for them or they made an "X". I don't think I'm better than anyone quite the contrary! If you are looking for a fight with me , bring it! I hate people who just assume the worst!

                  Beth100posted 14 years agoin reply to this

                  Who's assuming the worst?  Every answer here has been honest.  There has been no slandering of another nationality or ancestory, especially in jest.  It's not funny to jest at any nationality.

                  My Great Grandfather immigrated to Canada from China.  He worked on building the CPR across Canada.  The CPR is the railroad that brought Canada together.  He was one of thousands who gave their lives to building this railroad. z 

                  My grandfather immigrated  to Canada when he was very young.  He put himself through school and graduated from university. 

                  My father was born Canadian and is a successful enterpreneur.

                  I am Canadian, and very proud of it.  However, I'm proud of my Chinese ancestory too as it is the blood and sweat of my forefathers who knitted this country together. 

                  So you see, it's not because I am assuming the worse in you, I have interpretted what you have said as your assumption that there is something lesser in the Chinese.  As a result, you believed that you could say what you did without being held accountable.  Your statements are derogatory, not just to the Chinese but to yourself.

                  The majority of the world is now mixed, if not in heritage, then it will be soon.  There is no shame in that. 

                  Cags, I'm sorry if what I have to say may appear as "picking a fight", but I'm not.  I believe everyone should be proud of their ancestorial heritage and their nationality without worries that they may be put down by another. 

                  It's a great thread, Cags.  Thanks.

    Americans-- USA Americans are often a pat tof the "melting pot" stew.  On my maternal side there are mostly Germans, perhaps some Polish, Ukranian and etc. On my dad's side-- we have traced some ties back to the American colonies-- perhaps English and also German, some other nationalities may have entered the gene pool.

    My parents once went to a travelers meeting in the US where the director polled the audience, asking where their parents came from. he conculuded that his supposition was right. French and Italians, when they disagree with their govenments -- change their government. Germans move to America.

    I was born in the US, so by nationality I am American.  Ethnically, however, I am very mixed.  My last name is Arabic, and I am a quarter Syrian.  I am also part Kansa Indian, English, French, Dutch, Spaniard, and a tiny bit Norwegian way way back.  My ancestors were the Vinges and Volkersons way back on my mom's side, and they were some of the first colonists in New Amsterdam (now New York).  Apparently their plantation is now on the land that occupies Wall Street, which is just very funny to imagine.  I am also a descendant of Daniel Boone.

    1. Cagsil profile image70
      Cagsilposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      My interpretation of his action, would be subjective to his recent actions also in other threads, which would lead me to the understanding that he is not Chinese. So, that would make is statement dishonest for whatever reason.

      He is a person of low self-esteem, for which, he continually picks on people and makes useless statements, such as the one he has made here. Unfortunately, Beth got sucked into it and I can understand her interpretation, but mine was that he was directly making fun of my thread, for some odd and most likely sad reason.

      But, you can take it however you like. I'm bias.

    100% Irish American. My parents freaked out when I married a guy who was 3/4 Irish and 1/4 German. Go figure. Thank God he was Catholic or they would have disowned me over that!

    I was born in Hungary, grew up in Belgium and at age 15 in 1969 immigrated to fabulous Ontario, Canada.
    My roots are traceable to before the Austro-Hungarian Empire was set-up in 1867 on both my Mom and Dads side.

    That would make me a proud Canadian with solid Hungarian roots I guess.

    Bloodline-wise, I'm about as Caucasian as they come.  Don't know when the ancestors got to the USA on either side of the family tree--not a fanatic enough genealogy buff, I guess.  But do know that ethnically I'm almost (but not quite) half German and half English with smidgens of Scotch, Irish, French, and Danish.

    When my Dad's family found out about the Danish part about 30 years ago, they started calling themselves "Great Danes".  No comment.

    Many of those to whom I've become closest, however, seem generally to have some Native American blood running through their veins. Choctaw (wife is 1/4), Mandan (late step-grandmother and by far my favorite "ancestor"), Lakota, Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Salish, Kootenai, Gros Ventre, Assiniboine.  As an exception, both of my closest friends in the Army were African American. 

    For whatever all of that means...lol

    Well I will have to be a Dane or maybe even a viking if you like. All of my family comes from Denmark with the exception of an uncle from Spain.

    Nice to see that someone else has a little Danish blood flowing, even though it might just be a small part, Ghost32.

      A very small part.  Wife #6 was 3/4 Finn, about as close as I can get to that general part of the world...lol

        Not that many Finns in the world. They're a very beautiful people, though.

    Born in Australia.  Father born in England to parents born in England.  Fathers mother of Italian descent, at least on her fathers side.  Fathers father for some generations in the UK, paternal blood line goes back to Germany.  Both sides of my fathers family lived all over the  UK, including Wales, Ireland, England and Scotland, going back far enough to be coal miners and signing with an X.

    On mothers side.  Mother born here, her parents born in Greece.  My mothers grandparents arrived earlier than her parents, working for many years to bring over family.  Not entirely sure of blood lines on mothers side because of war.  My mother identifies as Macedonian so over the years blood has probably been crossed with who knows what, at the very least, some Turkish blood.

    Though I was born American, my Heritage is Swedish and Dutch. big_smile

    My Father arrived in America from Holland, at age 13with my grandparents, since my grandfather was granted rights to live in America due to serving with American troops in World War II.

    My great grandparents (mothers side) arrived in America in 1929 with my grandmother from Sweden. My grandmother then married my grandfather whom is also full Swede. Though, it is rumored a French Duke slipped in somewhere, some generations back. Not sure if any blood line exists there.
