that's a big generalization. there are many different combinations which provide variations. one of my best friends in high school was a mostly german/italian mix (with other stuff thrown in) and their household was quite different from mine, which is mostly swedish and irish (with others thrown in). yeah, we're mutts, but all mutts don't act and look the same.

we need to stop looking at people as labels like "white" or "black" or "yellow" or whatever and more as people. there are definite culture differences that should be recognized and celebrated. think of all the kids on your block when you grew up. imagine if i met one of them today and assumed you were exactly like them because you came from the same block. how can you now do that about white americans whose ancestors came over here from many different countries in europe anywhere from 1 to 6 generations ago?
