god, you'd think no one was Asian around here..
Korean/American here.....
With the surname "Weaver" you can pretty much guarantee i'm almost every possible combination of european ancestry.......I think i've been told that my grandmother's side was Irish, with my grandfather's side being Native American/German.
Mother side is pretty much just Korean.
Add on the fact that i was born in Texas, and i have a guaranteed mind bender for people who first meet me. lol

Might as well throw mine in, british/irish/touch of german, some cherokee indian and who knows what else, last name of Sprague and as I put it, it was 2 brothers that came over to America a few hundred years ago and started the whole mess, one stayed in the NE and the other moved to Washington state, born in Texas and HATE the heat, give me the arctic lol.
Oh yeah and Guiness is nice but I prefer Killian's

As far as I know, I'm 100% Dutch... with some strange traits...
When I get a sunburn, I get a good one ...
Most of the time, when I loose the red skin, the underlying is already brownish 
And I won't get a sunburn again (at least not until the next summer).
Unfortunately the brown teint doesn't stick long... When summer is ending, so is the color....

Half Irish, dunno what the resk is, some Creek Indian and Dutch, but it all comes out 100% American anyways. And living in Florida I have had several scares with huge freckles from marching band (you bet, yeah, it's hard work). But then I see the doctor and he says it's non-cancerous and it shrink away and I am very much relieved 
My twin brother, on the other hand, has much darker skin, near-black hair to my redish brown, and an inconsistant gray eye to my green. He spends less time in the sun than I do, having no inclination towards anything other than sleeping in, and I think he would actually have a hard time trying to get pale.However, I do have a good few incheson my shoulders over himand a lot more mass (in a good way of course
), so I guess the Irishman wins against the Creek.
Oh, and somewhat off topic, and probably offensive to some but HILARIOUS to the rest of, type in Frecnh Military Victories in google and hit "I'm Feeling Lucky". Have a good laugh andgo to the site provided by the link- it gets funnier

"I'm a lumberjack and that's OK"... oops - wrong song.
100% American. No hyphens. Lived in too many places all over to make an generalities - well I have some but they are minor. People are people are people - all shapes, sizes and shades; some are nice and some are asshats.
