What Race Are You?

I don't know if there's been a Thread like this, but if there has, it's certainly quite old. Mayhaps, if there was already a long and concise thread about it, a Mod could lock this and direct me to the proper thread. But if not, or we just need a new one, I'd be interested in knowing what some of you guys' race was.
And yes, I know that there is a Who Are You Thread - but about 1/100th of the Forum population, or less, even bothered to post in there, so nevermind that.
So... what Race are you? Nationality is welcome to, if you want to state that.
And please, no bigoting racist comments in here. Not welcome.
BTW: YES, I know that many of the poll options are not really
races, but I just picked a few of the more common Nationalities, and threw them in with the rest of it.
[Edit:]
Oh, and an additional BTW - if you live in America, but you're Asian or some other Race, mark that instead of American. What I mean by that is white-Americans. Just felt that there was a difference between them and Dutch or Switz people, is all.

American isn't a fuckin race, it's a nationality.
Black, white, hispanic, asian, etc. are races.

Threw it in because so many people here are American. Or atleast, that's what I thought. Just wanted to make European and American / Canadian and stuff separate, because European includes anything from France to Germany, while American just... not European. You know?
I just did, okay?

black isn't a race cos black people can come from any country, they aren't just 1 race you need to go more in depth on that one and there's not 1 country were all blacks come from so..........

Sadly, I'm American.
I wish I wasn't, although I suppose there are worse things.

Grand father was a Chinese diplomat towards Vietnam. My father is half and half (chinese and vietnamese), but was raised in Chinese fashion. He met my mother, who's paternal grandmother was a pure indian (native), and who's maternal grandmother immigrated from Ireland.

Black isn't a nationality, black is a race. Nature doesn't limit borders by lines drawn on a map by Europeans.
What should be "go more in more depth on" is calling blacks african-americans or afro-americans.

Make the question "Where are you from, or what's your nationality" humans don't have races.. We aren't dogs/cats or whatever.

American. Technically, Norweigian/Dominican mix, but I look like an average (fat) white guy. Although I have Mexican hair, that pisses me off. FAT WHITE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE MEXICAN MUSTACHES, IT LOOKS Farking RETARDED.
