My grandma says we're related to some Native Americans somewhere along the line. I remember one time she was like "That's why we're so quiet when we walk because the Indians used to have to be really sneaky when they were hunting... " Ok, Grandma.
But that's not nearly as bad as the time she was saying that my cousin got his low alcohol tolerance from Ulysses S. Grant. He was telling her about how he got really drunk or something and I remember she said "Haha, yep! You get that from Ulysses! Three beers and he'd be falling off his horse!"
*facepalm*

Aparently I have some Danish to add to my already extended list of nations of origin. Basically take a couple of people from each continent and stick them in a blender out comes my family. (it's just easier to say Cruzan/West Indian and POrtuguese)

I'm Irish, Scottish and Maori. Yeah, a weird combination. I look like my European side, red hair, very pale skin that freckles instead of tanning, and people look at me funny when I say I'm Maori
But I just call myself a kiwi, I have no idea how long my family's been here... a long time!

WOOO! Someone who is slightly Welsh! Very cool!
Well, I have a very weird ethnicity!
I was born in Southern England but I now live in Wales and that's where most of my dad's family is from!
My mum was born in Scotland but her father was half Nigerian and half Native American!
I have tanned skin and curly hair and big lips like the Nigerians but high cheek bones and the Native American eyes, except they're hazel not dark!
