All of my grandparents were Italian, but only one was born there; the other three were born here in the early 1900's.

Yep, I made sure to break Russian out. It shouldn't be included with China and India since it's so huge and different from other Asian countries.

Some Russians always get confused when you ask them if they are Asian or European, its comical Especially if they are from the "deeper" part of Russia.

we've had this conversation before, remember?

I'm Ukranian, Polish and Armenian with a few other things mixed in, but they're far enough back not to really matter.

It was when I posted... the OP changed the title of the thread. If it's ethnic background we're talking about, I have a mix of European ancestors.

However, the question in the OP's post says "select your geographic location of origin," and I was born here in the United States. I'm an American; not Native American, Irish, German, or anything else. I really wish more people would accept and state that.
