Let's see, there's white, white, really white, and more white. Aka, Celtic/Northern European background.
I'm Canadian, as are my dad and mom. I'm told that I don't look like a Canadian and I have idea what that means though my mom seems to agree with the assessment. My mom's side has been in Canada since teh American Revolution. There's the hoity toity English wing (the reason we have all the health problems we do) and the Irish farmer wing (the reason we all survive said health problems ;)) some Scot and I hear one Welsh guy.
My dad's parents are English and Danish, his Danish mother arriving in Canada with her family just before WW2, and his English Father arriving after WW2 when his mother re-married a Canadian soldier.
There's a fair bit of stereotype in my family that we've poked fun at over the years. My great-great grandparents were apparently a largeg Scottish woman adn a little Irish man that were the epitome of Scottish stubburness and Irish temper, or so it's said. I love looking up family history and such, and hearing the various stories and anecdotes handed down. Some of the stuff, particularly relating to my mother's mother's side, reads a little like a Jane Austen novel.
