I personally hate to self identify by "race". I am almost pure European, but from very scattered areas. Paternal grandmother was a Polish immigrant, Paternal grandfather a German one. Maternal grandfather Swedish, but US born, though his grandfather, in Sweden, had married a French "Princess" while he was out to sea as a pirate, so my great-great grandmother would be French (though of very doubtful parentage). Maternal grandmother's family has been on this continent since being kicked out of Newgate prison in 1640, and there is certainly some African and Native American blood in there somewhere. Stir well and you get me.
