I'm from Mars, wife from Venus.
My wife says I'm black. I haven't had the heart to tell her yet, so let's keep it quiet...
Irish, English,Dutch and Cherokee...that's how the Lord has created me! How's that for diversity?!
Looks like you've got some good blood in ya!
I'm Irish, Scottish, Cherokee, English... how's that for a mixed marriage(s)?
I forgot...during my vacation when visiting my aunt I confirmed that I have Cherokee blood...along with German and Irish (and maybe English).
I may be soon...
This poll never asked what your heritage/background was. If you are white and married a white person, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but sorry, for the purposes of this thread that is not an "interracial marriage".

So then it is about surface color, not race?

Something you need to share with us?
Race refers to skin color - black, white, Asian etc.

I am not sure how to answer this question, but I guess we would have to define race for each persons answer. My interpretation is that a person who gets on here and says, "oh I have german ancestors and my wife has irish ancestors" they are typically both white Americans and I do not consider that "interracial".
I'm all British Isles, with ancestors from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
My husband's ancestors were from Scotland, England, France, Bavaria (Jewish), and Pawnee.
We both love ****-a-leekie soup and the roasted Indian corn available only at pow-wows. When I speak to him in Scots Gaelic he gets totally confused. Fortunately for me, he doesn't know much Pawnee.

There is a delicious soup from Scotland which combines chicken, leeks, thyme, and pepper. A few people add prunes, but I never do. According to legend, the chicken chosen for the soup was the male chicken who lost the last male chicken fight. That's the true name of the soup; it has to do with the gender of the chicken. Good grief. I hope this makes sense. I don't want everyone to think I write bad words on the board. I'm just used to calling the soup by its common, centuries old name: male chicken-a-leekie.
The problem starts with the original post, since Hispanic isn't a race.
Well, we're still in talks. But I'll keep everyone updated.
The problem starts with the original post, since Hispanic isn't a race.
But I don't doubt that society at large thinks that it is. I think it is one of those terms that has evolved over time.
I think there's a difference between ethnicity and race. Ethnicity refers to ethnic group - Irish, Polish, Italian, Mexican, Russian, West African etc. Race refers to skin color - black, white, Asian etc. Someone can correct if I'm wrong, but I think that's the general understanding.

You do know that guys hate that, don't you?
To be fair about it, what does your brother think of the situation?
And, finally, isn't this a public forum? Do we need to go through and delete some of these posts?
You don't think society would notice the difference between an Afro-Cuban or Brazilian and someone of predominately German heritage from Argentina?
