    Default Are you proud of your ancestry and race ?

    Poll coming up.

    Question is simple.


    it seems to me that most of TAers are obsessed with things like blood purity, ancestry, race and other things.

    I see myself as "myself", where genetics are irrelevant. Yes, I have jewish heritage and some russian heritage as well, but I dont care about it.

    Do you ?

    Poll has only two answers, choose the most appropriate one.

    I care about it a little bit but not much, because I realized it does not really count in real life or only to a very small degree.

    If anything belonging to a certain culture sphere is more important than race or ancestry.

    Isn't it obvious? I'm Greek.
    My ancestry is from one of the most beautiful, most historical, old and important countries in the world.
    As for my race, I m med, therefore I'm cool

    No, I am who I am and I'm only proud of my own achievements or when my dogs learn new tricks. What I care about is to not loose local/regional cultures and languages (when they are worth it and civilized, unlike bullfighting in the South), which is what my country is known for (erasing local cultures and identities). But at the same time, I like the fact the French republic doesn't recognize any community inside the National Community.

    yes but you didn't choose your ancestry, it was an accident.

    also, "importance" of Greece in the world has diminished thousands of years ago...

    Sure, why not. Still haven't gotten around to an Irish Master Race theory that explains how it was the progenitor of all western civilization like people from every other place have, but maybe some day I will get around to it.
