What's your ethnic background?

Is it too late to bump this? 

Anyways, my dad's Mexican (so Spanish and Native American) and my mom's french (I live in Canada, but not Quebec. My mom came from France and moved to Canada). Anyways, I thought two of my grandparents were German due to their surnames and appearance, turns out they came from the Alsace area of France. 

 

I don't like posting pictures of myself, but according to people in real life, I slightly resemble Gal Gadot but with blue eyes and lighter skin (but not pale). Hence why I started loving her, aka my almost lookalike.  I can speak basic spanish and french aside from English. But I'm too lazy to try to be fluent haha. Even my parents could teach me..

Salvadorian. My both parents are from El Salvador.  I was born in the USA. People has confuse me with Phillipines, Brazilian, Black and Middle Eastern. I've been told I look like Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, and Mila Kunis

What exactly is Lithuanian Tatar? :smile:

 

The actual term is Lipka Tatar, but everyone would be like what the hell is that.

 

They're basically Eurasian and can be traced back to the Golden Horde of the Mongol Empire. I don't know if my mom's side is of Turkish or Mongol extraction though. Anyway the lineage has probably been diluted.

Update: I did a DNA test that tracked my genes back 1300 years, I also had a phone consultation with a DNA specialist who went over my background in detail. Apparently my background is WAY different than what my family originally thought. RIP native blood. Apparently the woman who raised my Grandmother which led her to believing she as half native was nothing more than a nanny. My biological great grandmother was in fact a scary German.

 

 So the break down on my background is 100% Western European.

 

70% German... in fact the specialist said that was very uncommon that my family has kept to such a close ethnic region for over 1000 years.

16% Norwegian and a carrier of the Alpha 1-antitrypsin gene... which means I'm for sure genetically related to Vikings.

8% Irish (I had no idea, none, but it make sense because of the Vikings)

3% Russian (family strictly coming from Saint Petersburg area)

2% English (family found in London and just South of London)

1% Spanish (the fuck?)

Oh, that's so interesting! :chicken: 

I want to take one of these tests sometime.
