Periodically members nationality slips out, and more often than not i find myself quite surprised.

My mother was from Hungary. My father is half Italian, half Ukrainian.
What is your origin/ethnicity/nationality?

[stewie]

I've always found it interesting to find out peoples jobs/ethnicity/age on this forum. It doesn't put a face to the name but it does give a bit of an image of the person.


Dad - Scottish
Mother - Italian

[cdizzle_996]

English/Merican.

[SkinnyPupp]

I was adopted, so I'm not sure how accurate this is. Apparently my birth father was Canadian with Norwegian heritage, and my birth mother was an immigrant from Germany.

As far as I'm concerned I'm just a human LUL

[hud 91gt]

I’m the opposite of Skinny. Mom Norwegian, Dad German. Toss a sprinkling Scottish in there and you’ve got one stubborn SOB.

100% Canadian

[Berzerker]

I'm as Canadian as you can get without being Native. My family is part of the original settlers into Eastern Canada.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brotherton-66

Here is half of my family, and where I get my name from. Adam and Robert passed down the line. My grandfathers name is Robert and his middle name was Adam. My sons middle names are Robert Adam

As you can see my family has been here a long time. The other half is Scottish heritage.

Berz out.

Polynesian/Hawaiian with Japanese mixed in. Four generations in Canada.

I tell people the same thing. One side goes back to one of the first French families registered in Canada, the other side I'm a first-gen Canadian from the UK.

[Bouncing Bettys]

I'm a 9th generation Canadian and United Empire Loyalist, which I identify much more with than those distant ancestries I posted earlier.

[versep]

I'll find out soon, submitting my 23andme kit this week.

My parents are Mainland Chinese but their trees are broken 2 generations up (war).

[Hondaracer]

100% Finnish from my dads side and kind of that Uk blend from my moms side mostly Scottish I think her side was.

My dad was always adamant he was pure Fin, as a lot of people from that area have some sort of Russian or Baltic background but he was sure he was pure fin lol he then did a 23andme testing and sure enough, he turned out to be 99.6% fin lol. Basically as far back as the gene could be traced it’s from that specific area and not a more Baltic regional area

Gen 1 from Guangzou or as it was known back then... Canton. Was brought over here in 1980.

I'm born in Burnaby, but my mother is from Netherlands (Friesland), and my father was Welsh.

1st generation Canadian, both of my parents are from Ireland and immigrated to Canada after WWII.

Or perhaps others like me were a little reluctant because if you're gen X/gen Y Chinese then it's almost certain both your parents are Chinese.. and that's nothing too interesting to post about lol


Nonetheless, I was born in Vancouver but my Mom is from Hong Kong and my Dad is from Guangzhou.

You're all caucasian?!

Srsly tho, I'm always amazed as to the demographics on this site and how they change over the years.

Cars brought us together. But something else keeps us together, whether it's politics, arguing, buy&sell, or food :fuckyea:


My last name is Italian, but our thanks to WW1 and WW2, the area my paternal family came from is now modern day Croatia and Slovenia. Maternal family is English/Ukranian. I'm straight up lumberjack Canadian though. I play hockey, climb hills and am capable of building an emergency ice shelter if I had to. If that doesn't scream Canadiana, I don't know what does :D

[yray]

everyone is asian on RS

My mom's maiden name is Italian cause some exiled, whop, had jungle fever.

im the opposite, dad from canton, mom from HK.

dad side been here since 81'

mom side around the whole family moved here in 92'

[Great68]

Both my parents came from Poland

My Mom came over in 1962 (she was 9)
My Dad came over in 1979 (He was 25)

Kind of funny the differences coming as a child vs adult makes. My mom has no accent at all, while my dad's is still pretty heavy after all these years. Also funny that out of all the Canadian dudes she dated, my mom decided to marry a Polish FOB.

[hud 91gt]

If we’re bringing Wars into this I’m Polish too cause borders move. My wife did one of the DNA tests. Interesting to see who was screwing who way back when. Lol.

Bro it's no more boring than anyone else's... Especially if you know the regions where your family came from. There's so much diversity in the regions of China! (before the great revolution)

My wife's family comes from Guilin on one side (via Shanghai) and I believe Xiamen on the other. Her mom's side fled to HK in the 50's and her dad's side was in HK a couple generations before that. This difference actually leads to contrary opinions on the current situation, and some very awkward moments.

[rb]

Both parents should've been villagers from China but were born and raised in India. Grandparents fled there due to the Nanking Massacre.

Proud of my parents/family for essentially coming from the slums in Calcutta to make a decent life in Canada.

Being young helps. I speak English and Cantonese without accents because I grew up speaking both, I sound like a local wherever I go. I speak French like a fob though.. likely because I didn't learn it until high school.

I'm the opposite. I was born in Richmond, went back to HK when I was younger, but I was mostly in Canada from 4 y/o and on wards. But I speak English with a slight Chinese accent (can't say my THs, like three/free, thought/thot), and I speak Cantonese with a white guy accent (think Mayor Gregor).

I learned French in high school, but don't remember much but the basics. Ironically, I was really into "Tong Hua - Guang Liang" throughout high school, so my mando pronunciation is more on point than my Canto pronunciation.

Hahaha wtf. It's so hard reading this shit. Shanghainese doesn't translate well in pingying.

I get the "I thought you were white" alot over the years here on rev lol

[mikemhg]

My father is Nigerian, mother is Irish.

[will068]

Filipino

Dad side - Filipino of Chinese background.

Mom - Filipino with some White American and "supposedly" Spanish descent. I say supposedly because Filipinos are notorious for claiming we have Spanish blood even though 70% of us do not look like we have Spanish ancestry.


End Result: Depending who I interact, I get claimed by their races. Chinese fellow will think I am Chinese; Japanese fellow will think I am; Halfer Asians will think I am halfer etc.

When I used to visit my ex in-laws up north, white Canadians from the interior will think I am aboriginal. Unfortunately, wypipo and native relations in interior Canada are not that good, so I get some racism here and there. Just gotta man it up.

[westopher]

Never met my father, don't know his name, so that sides unknown other than "white," my Moms Mother comes from Scottish lineage and Grandfather is English lineage. As plain as you would expect from a 5th or 6th generation Canadian. I'm 34, but I think I've felt like I was 26 from when I was 17 until about now.

[white rocket]

Came here to post this. Lol!! Great reference.

Dad - Scottish decent
Mom - German/Welsh decent

Basically straight up white ass Canadian. My great grand parents were the immigrants but everyone else down the line was born here.

When I joined I thought I was one of like 4 white people on here. Haha!! That changed dramatically after my first RS meet. Lol!

Chinese, speak some Cantonese

My dad from suburbs of Guangzhou, my mom from a town about an hour away from Guangzhou. Dad side came in late 70s and mom side in early 80s. They met here and I was born here lol.

Also found out my great-great-grandfather worked on the railroad, and settled somewhere in Saskatchewan. Then he went back to China to get married and came back to Canada, and later passed away over here. After he came back to Canada, my great-grandma was born. So she never met her dad.
