| | | Ethnic soup! Is your soup chunky? As most of us will agree, almost NOBODY is a pure race, especially in America.
This has nothing to do with size, so it's going in etcetera.
I want to know what people are made of! =D List as much of your ethnic background as you know.
My ancestors on my mom's side come from both Jamaica and the Dominican Republic/Haiti.
My mom's great grandmother was part German.
My Dad's side is black (though, I don't know which basing) with a lot of caucasian mixed (half the family was purely white skinned). They are part of the Netter family, which was predominately white (I'm assuming Brit-based, with the name Netter).
My Grandpa is partially Mexican, on my dad's side.
My mom's side has more white in it but I don't know much about it yet.
There is also the fact that my background likely includes slavechildren, so who knows what's mixed in there.
My last name is Maughmer (the gh is said like an F. Dad's side of the family) and I have no idea what nationality that is.
Various last names (that I know of) from both families:
Maughmer
Netter
Dorsette
Mamby
So, in short I'm part:
Jamaican
Haitian/Dominican
German
Mexican
African(?)
Brittish(?)
And likely some other chunky soup mix
If anyone has any clues on the nationalities of the last names I've listed, tell me! =D
So, let's hear from you guys! :o | | | |

Scotch-Irish | Kind of off topic, but I had a teacher from Nigeria. His accent was strong but it sounded amazing. I also met a female exchange student from Nigeria. She had the most beautiful (and enviable! >=[) facial features.
And holy cow, Triumph! That's some chunky soup, alright! :3 | | | |
