This is so sad, I know nothing about my heritage lol.

 

[Mew]

Jamaican Filipino Chinese born and raised in London, England.

Jamaican side: my mother was also born in London, as was her other sisters apart from one, who was born in Jamaica, my grandparents were part of the Windrush generation, that came over to work here in London.
It is also said that my grandparents (both or one) are somewhat native to the island themselves if not them then their ancestors...however there is also a strong inclination that my ancestors in this side were possibly slaves..

Filipino chinese:
My father was born in Angeles City, phillipines, he cane over to London with his family when he was 10. My grandma and grand father were also born in the Philippines, my grandma's father a full Chinese immigrant settling in phillipines and marrying a Filipino woman. My grandpas origin is less clear as far as he's concerned her his 100% Filipino and carries the surname of Torres (which is quite common but usually recognised as a spanish name) considering the Spanish invasion of phillipines, there is a possibility there could be some spanish in our blood line, although my grandfather will deny this as he is quite xenophobic towards spanish people.

My extended family is pretty much spread across, London, Canada, phillipines, North America (Southern States mainly), and a lone cousin in sweden in terms of where they live.

As far as we know we gave no cauasian blood (apart from the suspected Spanish, but this have never been confirmed) apart from those who married into our family... But a bunch of bi-racial children and cousins Like myself...

Like my eldest cousin is Jamaican and Pakistani, my brother is Jamaican and Mauritius, and my younger siblings and Jamaican and Nigerian (or maybe Ghanaian, their father had no contract so they never delved into their culture).

My son is the same as me but added English and whatever European country that's in his dad's blood (he doesn't know, his family has been in England for a while a couple generations)

I was raised mainly with my Jamaican culture by my mother, however Filipino culture was introduced later in my teens by my father, although they share similar views on family and education so its not hard for me to blend them together.

... I'm sure I'm leaving something out but thats what I know ro the best of my ability.

[daesuki]

I am French/Korean! My mother is Korean, and my father is French. I have some Chinese, Korean, and Thai roots somewhere, but mostly Korean prolly. I'm also a mix of Euro countries.

 

[SnowWhite]

I really liked to read this thread. Im half Russian and half Asian.

 

[Jimimis]

i'm boring. my roots are only indian
i am a first generation immigrant, i came to the us when i was 5 i am fluent in english and my mothertongue tamil. my dad speaks telugu, hindi, kannada, blah blah blah so i feel dumb but that's ok because i'm super whitewashed and a basic white girl and want nothing more than to marry a 40 year old white man so my culture, tradition, and roots dies with me i guess

the proper way of life

 

[TRAUMATHON]

As long as I know, I'm 100% puerto rican; but what does that even mean? We are essentially a mix of three major races; Spaniard, the native Taino race and African. My family most likely has majorly the European genes.

missa gungan...

Lol I guess. It was quite hard growing up so different though, it wasn't as fawned over as it is now (being black and Asian) it was quite the opposite... Still is from time... I get more racially insensitive comments aimed at my black heritage more than the Asian 😕

 

[jasque]

I'm Brazilian, and considering my surnames I have blood of natives and portugueses.

[Mayday]

[daesuki]

hhaha i get that a lot. Nope, I'm mixed ^^

 

[xdreamsandflames]

y'all have such diverse backgrounds!! it's so cool how multicultural this whole forum is lol (and how kpop brings us all together but that's a little sappy so i won't go into that right now)

i'm pretty sure i'm fully vietnamese (i might have some french way back from the french colonisation of vietnam, but i'm not going to count it bc it probably wouldn't have happened in a good way if you know what i mean) - i'm a first-generation immigrant, my parents and i came to australia when i was 2 and 1/2 years old and we're still living here now

My Asian side is Japanese & Chinese and on my non-Asian side is Russian, German, French & Italian. My maternal grandfather was born in Japan to a Japanese/Chinese man and a French/Italian women who happen to be from the UK. My maternal grandmother is German/Japanese. And he immigrated to the UK in his adulthood. Before I was born there whole family decided to immigrated to America and after I turn 16 we move to Japan because of business. My family can trace back our Japanese heritage from like ancient time because there still record that our ancestor pass on to the next generation and so on. I know my family came from a long line of Japanese nobility.

My bio dad side is Japanese, Russia & German. That all I know about them.

Most of my relatives do lived in Japan and some in Europe like in Germany and the UK. I can speak Japanese, English, Korean, Mandarin Chinese and conversational French.

[maruberry]

I'm a pureblood, purebred Estonian!
My family tree has been traced back over 200 years on both sides of my family and on my mothers side it goes back to the early 1700s and some born in the late 1600s (No birth records, but death records exist in early 1700s.... so presumably they were born before the year 1700)

I have like... a drop of swedish from like 200 years ago, but I doubt that matters much.
