Nationalities

[Hans_Oddcraft]

Continuing the discussion from Nature pictures: I thought that we should make a topic about our nationalities, @Goku_Ironheart said that it would be fine as long as we say no family history.

I'm Taiwanese. I POSSIBLY have a bit of Portuguese too, but my mom says she's not sure.

[Cinnar_Ratchetloop]

My parents, grandpa, grandma, and other grandma came from Taiwan. My dad side grandpa was from China. He fled to Taiwan because of Communism.
The rest of my family tree is probably all from China, give a few Dutch people as well. My grandma (moms side) grandma's grandma,... Idk, but SOMEWHERE in her line a Dutch person married someone...

[Hans_Oddcraft]

Your grandpa was a Nationalist?! Wow! Cool! @Cinnar_Ratchetloop, I’m learning about them in school!

[Cinnar_Ratchetloop]

Hey that's cool as well! Do you like learning about them? I was squirmy when I learned about it... especially since my own family was involved in it... my grandpa's grandma was a wealthy person, owning half of a village. It was a pretty big area. It farmed lots and lots and lots of rice!
Then she was killed by the Communists for her land. Realizing what was going on, my grandpa saw that his entire family was persecuted. He had one thing to do: flee.

I don't know if you will understand. Sometimes I don't either. It's a rather sensitive topic, but I can tell people to remind them the sufferings people had. One thing I'm glad for- my grandpa's grandma was a Christian, and so is my grandpa.

[Hans_Oddcraft]

That is sooo amazing and don’t worry, I understand, I’ve been to China and seen what it is like!

[Cinnar_Ratchetloop]

Funny... I've actually never been to China... because we don't want to go there... but anyway. Thanks for understanding.

[Hans_Oddcraft]

Anyway, my nationalities are American and British, and have been to both, I also have Irish, Polish, and Scottish blood.

[Cinnar_Ratchetloop]

Wow, I meet people with so many different kinds of "blood"! I only have 2... -sigh-

[Hanna_Brassheart]

I'm French, Italian, Scottish, and possibly British.

The part where I'm part French and part Italian is quite interesting. Historically, French and Italian nationalities have not gotten along well, which made for interesting grandparent-to-grandparent encounters... (thinks of story of French great aunt and Italian grandmother encounter at the wedding of my parents... )

[Emily_Purplebottle]

America, English, and Polish....!

[Aislinn_Mollisong1]

I don't even know. I'm a full-on American melting pot! One of my mom's great-great and so on grandfathers was a famous early American explorer that you've probably all learned about in history. It's so cool!!!️

[Annaliese_Dancemuddle]

I have Portugeuse in me too, @Xonos_Darkgrate1! I am mostly American, though. ( we don't exactly know, but I might have some Irish-Scottish somewhere in me.)

[Kieran_Candleview1]

On my Dad's side I'm German and Danish, and on my Mom's side I'm Irish and English.

[Drmeh_Orangescope]

I'm half Malaysian and the other half is Malaysian. Born there but I'm raised in NZ. I also have the blood of Jesus in me.

[Grace_Newgadget]

My parents and grandparents say I have a little bit of everything in me. So i don't really know​

[Scarlett_Darkhall]

I'm American, but I have a little bit of Irish, British, and Swedish.

[Iliara_Mustardtop]

I'm pretty much American , but I'm thinking our family probably came from England a long time ago. (There has been debate on whether there is any German in us due to our last name [no, I'm not telling YOU what it is!] but we have no clue.)
There's a rumor of someone on my dad's side marrying an American Indian. That might explain the dark hair inherited by my dad and brother. Qui sait? shrugs

[Awesome_Lensfun1]

I'm Malaysian Chinese! I pretty sure if you scan through all my replies and posts it will explain more,

[Mystia_Overshine]

I'm American, Scottish, Irish, British, A little French. Maybe Indian???
