I've never been to Korea before, actually. Maybe someday.

I am white. Very white. My dancing abilities are evident of that fact.

My dad's side is very English and French.
My moms side is VERY German with a touch of Native American. #strongcheekbones

Well, I'm Canadian (although you guys probably knew that already) but I also include a dash each of German, French, Italian, Scottish, Polish, Belgian, Brazilian, and Native American. (It's so fun having so many backgrounds ;) )

I am 1/4 Italian, Irish, Norwegian, Scottish and so on... I am related to John Alden who was on the Mayflower. And its not really distant either! That's as far back as you can go. My grandpa on my dad's side was an interpreter in WWII. My Great Grandma and Grandpa on my mom's side sailed over here from Italy. My Grandpa on my mom's side is 100% Italian.

I was born in China (in the Guangxi area) and was adopted into a Scottish family. My mom did a DNA test on 23 And Me and I'm apparently 99.8% Native American-Alaskan.

...

I just say I'm Chinese. It's easier that way.

Ooh, goodness that's amazing. I'm guessing you eat Italian a lot? Just joking. ;) I just found out my grandfather fought in WWII as well. He was in the Army.

That's neat Autumn. :) How old were you when you were adopted? If you don't mind me asking.

Cool, I've always wanted to have an adopted sibling. Someone younger than me in the house that doesn't listen to my brother exclusively.

Sweet, I used to like him a lot, but my fan hood died. Now I'm more of a book person fan.
