I love how America is a melting pot with people from all over the world. The more diverse a place is the happier I am.
I am a product if a melting pot. No only do I have bloodlines from africa, I am also part Native American, Chinese, and various European decent. My family has pretty much originated here in the U.S. as far as we can go back.
This is not a racist post. I dont mean this as labeling yourself either. I genuinely would like to know everyone's history, in other countries too!

Many Filipinos I think are not pure Filipinos too. There could be American or Spanish bloodlines as well as Chinese and Malay

I agree, I think the common mix is some type of asian descent (Chinese maybe?) and Hispanic culture, some look very similar to those in Mexico. I have a friend who is Filipino and everyone always asks if he's mexican.

@taciaelisepeace I like the cold winter and all the snow and ice the most. Kidding! 
Let's see? What do I like the most about Canada? Let me think?

According to the DNA test I did, I am pretty much Northern European. I know ancestors on both sides came from Ireland in the 1800s.

Indo Trinidadian and by choice Trini and Indo-Trinidadian culture. My country is also a mixture of all races and all cultures are practiced here. We have the most holidays in the world.

@taciaelisepeace -
there are many languages that are related to Finnish in Sweden, Norway and Russia and also the Sami in Finland and the other countries. There are also lots of Finnish immigrants in the USA and Canada, and in Argentina.. I've also read that Quechua in South America could be related to Finnish..not sure though..

@buenavida I apologize, I realize I never finished my thought haha. But that is really interesting to know that they actually have alot of influence language wise. I noticed you live in Sweden, I've heard that they really take care of their people there compared to most countries. Is it true that college is practically free and you can get like a year of paid maternity leave?

I think it is silly to divide people and have conflict over race. We should rather acknowledge and embrace our different cultural backgrounds. I greet it shouldn't be a big deal anymore.
