What's your race or ethnic origin...

[STUNNAH]

I was just curious as to what the make up of the members was...We are from all parts of the world and that covers alot of different people...

This poll is not intended to cause any friction or disturbance...If anyone finds it to be offensive I would ask that the Admin. Board remove it "ASAP"...

STUNNAH

Note:  I am also not certain if the board allows this sort of poll if not let me know and I will never start a poll of this nature in the future...

Uh, avatar photo says I'm white, oh sorry, I mean caucasian or primarily of european(English) descent. But, I have enough Cherokee to qualify for minority status for college admission and financial aid(didn't do it though). So really, I'm a half-breed.

100 percent Irish.......but that's still caucasian.

Stunnah....there is no such thing as race either....only ethnicity.

Fellow Members,

I offer my sincere apology for creating this poll.  It was spurred by a recent discovery that I had made relating to another post.  As I mentioned before I had and do not have any intent on pissing anyone off or creating any sort of animosity.  I was simply curious as to the make up of the site.  

It doesn't really matter which category you fall into you have all been a great group to be associated with.

I have since Emailed the Captain for his review of the poll and asked that if he felt it was fitting to remove the poll.

Sincerely,
STUNNAH

I'm cool with this post. Sounds interesting.

 

[busaben]

I think it's interesting to know who your ancestors are. Personally, I'm from English/Irish stock.

 

[pure_ego]

Didn't bother me at all..  It's not like you had some hidden agenda, or motive for asking.. Just curiousity.. I was/am curious about it now that it's a topic...

as far as the race/ethnicity

 "controversy"...

..  Thats a pretty insignificant thing to worry over.

[STUNNAH]

Thanks guys,
STUNNAH

[Max Speed]

I almost got up on my soap box...... But I will be to the point.... there is no need for a poll like this.... What counts is inside the person.....

My experience on other boards is, it may be best to stay away from any controversial topics. I posted a Mexican joke on an other board and many people were not pleased (pissed), I though it very funny.

Labusa's is one board were you can post any damn thing you want.

I was going to vote "other" as I have always considered myself Native American (born in Paterson NJ of native NJ parents). But all four of my grandparents were born in or around Bavaria so I guess I am caucasian, maybe even Aryan. I grew up in a town where "if you're not Dutch, you're not much" so most contact with other people was limited. I married a Dutch girl and our kids are typically tall. You can see a pic of my wife & daughter in the map section. My daughter is currently in Frankfort, Germany, with her husband, who is in the armed forces. Excuse me for rambling, it is something I do when I am with friends and family.
