Huh. If I understand your characterization of yourself correctly, I'm the opposite. I like being able to say I have blood from such and such a country or ethnic group (I have distant Finnish and Ashkenazi Jewish ancestors, for example), but in terms of actually learning about the individual people, I couldn't care much less.PiotrR wrote:Apart from that, everyone else in my family is from southern Poland - as far as I know. I'm not really into that kind of information, maybe if I dug deeper I'd find out more. Perhaps one day I'll do it.
Yeah, that's how it was when I found out I'm part Arab and Persian. My thick, threatening eyebrows and slightly large nose finally made sense. Is the Ukraine really seen as that exotic by the average Pole, though?PiotrR wrote:This whole Ukrainian thing came to me totally by accident I think it was the surprise that made me remember it.

Koko wrote:My mom's side's a little more complicated (relatively): my maternal grandma (biological) was Cree and her mom was Cree with my great-grandpa being Métis (half-Cree , half-French). My grandpa was Italian ( ), and was born in Genova (some village nearby the metropolis), and we have relatives who live in other parts of Northern Italy (particularly on that line I forget the name of, for example, I think I have a grand-aunt who lives in Parma or nearby). Also interesting, he even told my mom that it's highly likely we have Etruscan relations, since where he's from is so close to ancient Etruria (if not within). So it just makes me even more interested in the Etruscans

So do you like pesto?
Are you stingy?
