Yes, I am happy with my color, nationality and heritage. I was fortunate to have access to a lot of family history from both maternal and paternal family. It is great to know about my ancestry and I am proud of my family heritage. I accept and like who I am today and that includes my color and nationality.

Then you would know where you coming from
Then you wouldn't have to ask me
Who the heck do I think I am"
Good quote, Sandy! I love Marley.
Scientifically, I don't believe that race exists. The variation within each race is so great it is silly to believe that race is anything more than a social construct. With that said, I am happy being who I am.
I'd just like to say that I am very happy with Orbiting being the color she is, though I don't much care what race or nationality she is. Though it is nice to start off cocktail conversation with "my friend, you know, the young SpanishAfroMayan chemist, believes that..... (here is where I just make stuff up about what Orbiting thinks, since I'm really only using her as a social prop at this point anyway)".

LOL! Six, isn't novelty great? I guess I should revel in it now...soon I won't be so unusual and I will have to find something else to differentiate myself.
I'm white with a whole bunch of Polish blood in me;
cue jokes.

heheeee, Nikkiiii, you can always move to Idaho or not tattoo yourself.
Very happy with who I am and where I was born.
I am what they call a dark German, I too in the summer get as dark as a mexican or a black person, I even get asked what nationality I am but I just tell them to take there own pick as it really does not matter to me if I am black, brown, red or yellow or even white, because in my own heart we are all from the same two people Adam and Eve........ Go ahead take your pick !!!!
I am happy with the person I am on the inside , the color I am makes no difference to me.I can say, I would love myself, if I were of any other nationality. I do often wonder what it would be like to walk in the shoes of someone of a different race, a different nationality, I think it would be very interesting.
Can't complain here tho half the time I wanna disown the white race . If I were black I might be able to dance better tho .
