I'm a white Australian wholly of British descent, two of my great grand parents immigrated from Ireland in the early 20th century, the while the rest of ancestors came from rest of the British Isles during the 19th century.

I'm of English, Irish and Afro-Caribbean descent, in that order. If I were bigoted I'd have a job working out which part of my ancestry to hate... Incidentally my grandad was hilarious - like a black/Irish Alf Garnett... we used to have some great arguments

People who know me IRL say that I look Filipino, but I'm part Asian, part European. I have no idea what the European consists of, though. Very likely I have some (if not a dominant portion of French) because of my very green eyes.

Both sides of my family have been in Canada for a really long time. My mom's side is originally from England. As for my dad's side, the best they've been able to come up with is "somewhere in the British Isles" - either England, Ireland, or Scotland.
