Public Reseach: Race (Slavs and other Vikings, Varangians, and Sarmatians) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm 75% Frisian and 25% Dutch, to which some of you might say, "Just admit it, LMP, you're 100% Dutch!" Which would be true, except that Frisians have a rather exalted opinion about their own identity as compared to the rest of their Netherlandish compatriots. Now, I classed myself with the first group rather than the second, which may be considered to be debatable. But when you say Roman/Germanic, that leads me to think of French and Spanish, not Dutch. So I think I have to class myself with Germanic/Scandinavian.

Go Frisians!

I'm not Frisian, just Dutch, but I am also French, Albanian, Sicilian (Not Italian!) Irish, and who knows what else, probably some German and Arab.

As you can see I don't fit into any of the categories!

I should probably vote Native American, but West Europe will have to do. I'm technically Sioux, but a French fur trapper and a couple Irish immigrants managed to get involved during the 1800's, so it's close enough, I suppose.
