American White Mutt Dilemma !!

[JohnSmith]

So, I mostly Italian,English and Irish and a little Greek. So being a mixed of all of those I feel like people of those groups do not care for me to talk about it or embrace my heritage of any of them. I should probably just say white american and be done with it.

I have been told by several member I do not look Italian American so I should stop talking about it.
I have been told by Anglos that I am not an Anglo but a Mutt and I should not embrace that either.
The same thing by the Irish on here.

I guess the Greek members are the most accepting,lol.


I am telling you all right now. I am all these ingredients and I will embrace them as they all made me. I do not appreciate the disrespect by some people. It is ok to disagree and whatnot, but do not tell someone what they are and how they feel about themselves that is very personal. It is offensive to my ancestors no matter where they came from.

There is a story behind it all.

Like English relative that were on the Titanic and an Italians relative that fought in Libya. Even a Greek relative that owned a restaurant. We all have a story to us.

Random fact: White people are a million times closer genetically to Dravidian Indians (Tamils, Telegus, etc) than they are to Indo-Aryans (Gujaratis, Rajasthanis, etc)

Forgot MENAs too.

MENAs such as Iranians are genetically closer to Dravidians than they are to Indo-Aryan Indians (Gujaratis)

just for clarity, I didn't say you shouldn't talk about being Italian American, I said your appearance is indicative of being mixed with NW European.

Which is ok, because that is true, but I do identify with being an Italian American along with Anglo American and all the others.

He can Identify as italian if he wants. He is part italian. You are mixed yourself. How do you identify?
You look part polish.

I look kind of Greek or something, because mixing very dark Sicilians with Poles probably comes out that way.

You're just an American mutt so I'd say identify with whatever part you feel closest too (Anglo or Italian).
