    I took it as percentages rounded to the nearest integer. =] So 99.9 would roughly be 100.

    I'm not sure actually, though I'd say 75% at best; with my grandmother on my dad's side of the family being Japanese and I get what's left from my Italian and French lineage.

    I said 99% because I DID find a Portuguese ancestor in my family tree. He would be Latino then, no?

    Otherwise, French and Irish, so I'm pretty effing white.

    99% because I'm also an Asian American student according to a club I took in high school.

    Idk what "white" is in this context, but I'm 100% sure that I am in no way white. Ethnically, culturally or concerning my skin tone, I'm definitely not white.

    Maybe 71-80%. I know I have Irish, French, and Dutch in me. But I also have Cherokee and possibly Navajo. I don't have pure white skin. It's more olive-white.

    I got a test done and it said that I am 60% white. I don't pass as white at all.

    I am about 100% white, probably even 100% Swedish. I have a few danish/finnish/etc ancestors waaaaay back. But basically as far back as we have been able to find somewhat accurate info I'm about as Swedish as they come.

    most of my ancestors were Scottish or Irish. But then I have some family who are Maori, so I guess im something like 80% white

    I'm sorry but I find this question a bit ridiculous, how do you calculate how "white" you are? I get that some of you seem to think I have "French or German ancestors so it means I am X percentage 'white' " but I don't see in which world being from a certain nationality means your ancestors are automatically white ? That makes absolutely no sense to me.


    If I had to base my statistics on only my two parents, I am 50% white. Though if you looked at me, you wouldn't chose the term "white" to describe me (and neither would I).


    So do I have to assume that my descendant will assume they are a 100% white (though I am not) because I am a French national ? That really makes no sense to me. I can litterally have white kids, blonde ones even yet it doesn't change the fact that I am not white and keeping the French nationality and transmitting it to my children and theirs and so on till I am just a name on an historical document doesn't change the fact that I am white. The fact that people should assume their ancestors are white (even if it makes sense historically talking) just because they are from a certain country is ridiculous.

    I am not trying to offend anyone but I am litterally reading responses such as "Otherwise, French and Irish, so I'm pretty effing white. " or "100% English and Scottish.. so pretty white jaja." And I am standing here as a FRENCH national reading this and thinking "Well, I am definitely French but definitely NOT white and it could definitely also be the case of your ancestor(s)."

    So just curious as to why you are all assuming that your ancestors are automatically white if they've come from a certain country ? :slight_smile:

    Percentages seem to me like a strange way to measure this xD

    Anyway, my grandmother is British, so that makes me 25% I suppose.
