    THis poll doesn't bother me...

    But it always bothers me when the Federal Imperial Government asks me my racial makeup. I always want to ask, "Why do you need to know? If you're 'equal opportunity' as you say, then my racial pedigree (or lack thereof) shouldn't matter."

    Then I grin broadly and check the "Eskimo/Inuit" box. It throws 'em off, and I figure we need more Eskimos/Inuit down this way anyhow.

    I am about as white as white can get, short of being an albino.

    I am so white, in fact, that the Weather Channel picks me up on their radar as a snowstorm! :laugh:

    That is a good thing for them to say. We decided long ago to let our children decide for themselves. William identifies himself as black and white, and has for a very long time. Someone once called him a mulotto, and he said he was a person not coffee. :laugh: (he was about 4 at the time)

    Nice to see I'm not the only Ulsterman (Scots/Irish) around here.

    BTW Do you now why the gospel first thrived in these parts? The English loved it because they got to talk about it, the Welsh because they got to sing about it, the Irish because they liked to fight about it and the Scots because its FREE!:laugh:

    Swedish and Norwegian on my mom's side, and I have no idea what on my dad's side. I think I'm human though (sometimes). I know I'm American.

    Don't know if I could go as far as to say "all", but at least most of mine are human, as well. :laugh: :laugh:

    I generally say I'm a genuine 100% "All-American Redneck"!

    Since I am a fan of studying my geneology, I am as English as an english rose.
    More importantly, I am an American, a proud Southern-American. But MOST importantly, I am a child fo the King, the Lord Jesus Christ himself!

    Can I hear an AMEN?!?!:applause:
