I'm a whiteboy.
I don't like the term "caucasian"
I use "white" or if I'm in a good mood or with friends, I'll use "whiteboy" or "honky"

Race? No such thing, there is but one species of man, Homo Sapiens. There are no sub-species of man. Race is something that was invented.

We may all have different ethnic backgrounds, but we are all members of the same human race (species).
For what it's worth my ethnic origins go back to Germany (Mom was born there, Dad grew up there)Last edited by trau; 01-17-2006 at 01:07 AM.

I don't think Race can distinguish persons from persons, for Man are all man. Only
can it distinguish Man from animal.God bless China!

Me / Father:
English, Irish, Scottish (several generations back)
Born: New Zealand
Raised: Australia
Living: (Me) USA.
Famous Relatives:
1671 - Rob Roy McGregor Born
Born in 1671 at Loch Katrine, the third son of a Lieutenant-Colonel, MacGregor’s inherited long arms and great strength gave him abilities with the broadsword that made his name known to many. He fought at Killiecrankie for Viscount Dundee in 1689 before joining the Lennox Watch.
When the name MacGregor was again outlawed in 1694 he used his mother’s name of Campbell. His acquisitions of land and cattle brought him prosperity until 1711 when he persuaded a group led by the Duke of Montrose to advance him £1000 for investment in herding. His chief drover made off with the letters of credit, leaving MacGregor to face a charge of embezzlement. He did not answer to the charge or ensuing arrest warrant and was declared an outlaw.
He moved to the Trossachs lands of the Earl of Breadalbane, who was no friend of Montrose, and from there rustled cattle from Montrose’s lowland estates.
In the Rising of 1715, he mustered the Clan Gregor to fight for the Jacobites. He led his men in successful raids around Loch Lomond and Callander. Despite his inactivity during the Battle of Sheriffmuir, he was charged with High Treason.
From 1716 he lived at Glen Shira on the Duke of Argyll’s land. He was twice captured and twice dramatically escaped with style that added to his fame.
In 1725, following his decision to turn himself in to General Wade, he received a pardon from the King and after thirteen years was no longer an outlaw.
ERNEST RUTHERFORD (1871-1937), English atomic physicist, professor at the Victoria University, Manchester, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements, and the chemistry of radioactive substances."
As for the rest of my family:
Mother: Irish, English (she claims there's relation to the Wallaces, though we've never be able to confirm it.
Wife's Family:
Father:
English, German, Cherokee
Mother:
Thai, Indian
My Daughter:
English, Irish, Scottish, German, Cherokee, Thai, Indian. (within four generations)Former Webhost... now, just a guy.
