Oh dear. For me (as far as we know) my family can lay claim to all of Europe and the UK. Not much help there.... Sorry 
I wouldn't be surprised if some Asian or Aboriginal genetics turned up as the UK part of the family were on the Second Fleet out here. I identify as an Aussie and the culture we have here.

Great grandma worked in a speakeasy so we have no idea on that side. Poor grandpa grew up there and never knew who his dad was. The other 3/4 are Norwegian, German, and Irish. My last name means flying ship in Norwegian so that makes me an alien.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

I consider myself multi-racial. My family is a melting pot.

I define myself to be of that race which does not stoop to theism in the 21st century.

Listing where You currently live is not the aim of this thread, but nothing stops You from doing so.
List your racial background(s). Your racial background in my terminology is what race your immediate parents are.
For instance, that makes me 50% Finnish, 25% Hungarian, and just a small bit of the highlanders.
I am totally WHITE awwwwwwwww yehhhhhhhhhhhhh. I don't understand why people are naming nationalities as races either including the poster of the thread.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Maybe because race is a bullshit classification system?

In what way is it a bullshit system?

But we don't all have the same racial characteristics, I definitely classify myself as being white and I think there are some differences between races.
