I'm assuming Straha meant "race" and not "ethnicity"...

I guess Caucasoid , even if the mountains are in Georgia (the country). Calling an Irish/Scottish/British/German/Russian a Caucasoid is, IMHO, the same as calling all African-Americans Kenyan.

Well, my grandfather on my mother's side was Croatian, my grandmother on my father's side was German, so that makes me half British descent.

In other words, Caucasian.

I wonder what the derivation of that is.
It has something to do with the color of a cracker itself.

What I want to know is, why is "cracker" any kind of decent insult, for one thing; and second, how come it's okay to say it in public whereas someone who says "nigger" is condemned for eternity?

I ask because my neighbor once called me a cracker. In return, I called her a dumb fuck, which she would be if she was polkadotted, black, purple--whatever.

Hateful old racist bitch. I get sick of this anachronistic Tu Quoque of, "Well, you white people used to be all racist, so now it's okay for minorities to talk racist shit to you!"

BZZZZT. Wrong. Racism = racism.

Sorry, Xalev...this isn't directed at you. I am in a bad frame of mind at the moment.

I have a bit of native american blood in me, though most of my bloodline comes from various white people in europe

A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

I'm a white boy of Irish descent. My ancestors were sent out to Australia by the Brits as convicts, cool eh?

EDIT: I also have some blood of the Aboriginal natives in me, but not a great deal.

By common definition, we are. I was just bitching because Caucasian literally refers to a rather small area along the Europe/Asia border, the Caucasus Mountains. It would be like (IMHO) calling all South Americans Amazons or all Pacific Islanders Filipino. It's inaccurate. *shrug* Just my own $0.02 on the matter.

I am technically 3/4 white 1/4 American Indian (not Native American, and no, I'm not just being politically correct), but I consider myself Amer. Indian because I get benefits from it, and it's good enough for most things that other Indians get (very few things require you to be of 1/2 blood or more).

[EDIT] In case you're curious what tribe, I am San Juan Pueblo (New Mexico) and Hopi (Arizona).

[EDIT2] The parts of me that are "white" are predominantly British and Irish descent (maybe a cause for my alcohol tolerance?)

I decided to specify my ethnicity as well.

Primarily French, in addition to British, Scottish (I think), Canadian, and most recently German from my mother's side.

I am mostly English with a smidgeon of Norwegian. As a matter of fact, when I finish my doctorate, I will probably practice in England for a while. My fiance' is Japanese, so who knows, we might just end up being citizens of the UK.

I am, uh... White is the easiest answer. I have Native American, Irish, British, Germain, French (I wish I could deny that), Finnish, I have heard rumors of Turkish decent... I would say I appear to have a pale Native American's basic build, with a blending of everything else showing externally. I know I don't have African, Asian, (besides the Native American) or most Mediterainian.

Sorry, but the Irish don't exactly make me proud. They've never really done anything notable (unless they were under the yoke of the English), they have a bad cuisine, a boring culture, they invented Riverdance, and the asskicker? they spend their time fighting each other over Catholocism vs. Protestantism. Count me out of this one.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'
