Yes!

My size. I've been fat pretty much my entire life. I've lost 100 pounds since 2021 and I'm having trouble identifying myself as not-fat, especially since I'm not thin either at this point.

Oh that’s a very interesting identity but I definitely see why physique or size could be one!

for people who try to have big muscles too, that body image

meanwhile, a normal european lurking in the corner.

I mean your nationality, age, socioeconomic status when growing up, parent status or beliefs, religion, hobbies, occupation, schooling etc could be yours, it does not have to be race

 

[litc]

Ngl I don’t know. Each is important to me in their own way and unimportant or disliked in their own way (not because I think it’s bad I’m in that group, but because I would prefer being not in the minority for ease reasons)

No offense but I don’t think you’re in the minority in every single category I listed in the OP
Like I mean your parent status, and what your major was, and (not your ethnicity especially with the current environment), but just ur race if someone doesn’t know you’re Russian (cuz you said ppl sometimes think ur Irish) wouldn’t be minority either ofc

 

[uran]

Out of the ones listed i would say thnicity and socioeconomic status of parents has affected me the mosr

Of course I’m not a minority in all those categories I meant each category I am a minority in is equally important to me Also I no longer get people thinking I’m Irish because my hair is dyed now.

Just start plugging in names and I bet you'll be shocked how far back you can look. Just because you haven't done your families genealogy doesn't mean someone else hasn't. I can trace back to the first Chinese Emperor... and I'm the whitest guy on earth.

Love finding absolutely nothing To be fair I was only able to try my parents because for grandparents I'm not certain of how their names are spelled. But nothing that popped up for my parents could possibly be a relative. I was also confused that for cities they only have a name and the country when some countries have multiple places named the same. So who knows if it was even the right one for my dad.

I love the United States, I would die to defend it against it's enemies both foreign and domestic, blah blah blah. I'm a patriot. One of my greatest mistakes was not serving my country in the military. That being said, above and beyond my love for the United States is my love for my God, Family, friends, and my fellow human beings. I love and defend the US because it gives me the freedom to love and defend God, Family and Friends, and my fellow human beings. If the US needs to be criticized I'll gladly do it, loudly and with conviction because thats how we grow as a country. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong but I have the freedom to be right sometimes and wrong sometimes. I also have the freedom to say Xi Xing Ping, Putin; and Kim Jung Un are BITCHes and need to be bitch slapped so hard their faces come off like a Mr. Potato head doll. The United States is an imperfect, loud, obnoxious, bastion of freedom that gives evil nightmares. Even if we haven't won a war since WWII...

If you want to make it sound nicer you can say the last war we fought we won, since there have been no formal declarations of war by the US since WW2

I honestly thought the Mongolian empire was only in Asia

The Mongol rule had a big impact on Russia, among other countries. And not just the Asian parts of Russia, the European side too.

yeah because I guess I have thoughts and mannerisms from both cultures so too white for the chinese and too chinese for the whites lol

Now I’m wondering if I’m part Chinese as well bc tbh my brother and I think that my dad could pass as Chinese especially in old pics from before we were born tho that’s prob just bc of Asian diversity and literally bordering China

It's possible, I don't remember where I read it or heard it but I believe I read some where that Mongolian is the most spread out genetic lines on earth because they were so wide spread in their rape, pillage and plunder of the earth. Makes me wonder if I've got some of that too.

Its very much possible.
like I didn't know my mum had chinese ancestry but she does.

Hmm I don’t if I have any “Chinese” ancestry per say

but my ethnicity it turns out is a mix of (historically) East Asian ancestry, south East Asian ancestry, indigenous south Asian (hunter gatherer) ancestry, Dravidian (think the darkest skin toned Asians, most prominent/not as mixed with other ancestries/groups etc in certain parts of south India and islands like Sri Lanka, and lots of south and south East Asians are mixed with this ancestry) ancestry, austronesian (the south East Asian is this ancestry too, but this is also like indigenous Australian people and stuff like that), some central Asian ancestry, and very minimal indo European/west Asian/Arab/middle eastern, less than people think

but then I wouldn’t no where the East Asian is from or any of that bc like this historically was so long ago and it would just give my ethnicity if I did an ancestry test, with that being determined by general percentage of East Asian, austronesian (with the diff southeast Asian), diff south Asian (Dravidian and indo European (indo being iran/Persia and this contributing generally to Arab, middle eastern, and some west Asian and south Asian with Dravidian like here) combined is most south Asian ethnicities but NOT here bc it’s more east asian and austronesian plus Dravidian than European, middle eastern, Arab plus Dravidian) ancestries but again like the percentages for these diff groups would vary per person ig

Overall it’s mostly Dravidian, austronesian, and East Asian combined though

with rough percentage breakup for the ethnicity with like minimum most ppl would at least have

40% or more south Asian (indigenous south Asian and Dravidian, Dravidian appearing in south and some southeast Asian ancestries/ethnicities, but NOT the indo European/Persian that most south Asians have mixed with Dravidian, that isn’t in this percentage and is most likely not very high)

30% or more austronesian(could be indigenous Australian too but mostly from countries like Phillipines, Indonesia, Malaysia)
10% to much more East Asian
And the rest would be mostly central Asian and whatever indo European, but for the above three percentages esp East Asian could be higher/have quite a range

it’s cool tho ig, it’s a very Asian mix of south, southeast, east, central Asian minus much of the European influence/ancestry that many Asians have coming from Iran, but also means I’m not rlly much Arab if any(not that I thought I was, but Based on location (South Asia bordering southeast and east Asia) ppl would think the ethnicity is more Arab or Persian than East Asian

I would like to know the exact breakdown, but it’s pretty nice anyways that I’m mixed most of the Asians, there’s features that look east, southeast, south, and central Asian, and I have like features in common with all (tho skin tone is diff makes it harder to tell, darker than most East Asians, lighter than most south and southeast Asians ) the groups but I overall do look Indianish as in ppl think I am (but also ppl think I’m Japanese) and I’m bengali, which is very diverse with east southeast and south Asian features (but darker skin makes it harder to tell)
All the features very pretty!

here are some famous bengali women:

generally Indians like our eyes that come from our East Asian ancestry

I got little bits here and there.

but it ended up being 10 ethnicities

But yours that's rather cool.

my language is very important, the dialect i speak is very specific to my region and lots of our history is hidden in our idioms and such. it's overall very fun to speak and it's the most obvious part of my "culture" i guess.
