Yeah, I know. Problem is - my brain does not understand logic, it seems. Like, I know for a fact that not all Germans during WW2 were nazis, and that it is wrong to thinks so, yet I keep catching myself resenting them.

Sometimes it feels like my brain is that way - but to different things.

That is one impressive party trick!

My Dad's side are Irish and my mum's side Italian, so I have very dark hair and pale skin. I do burn more than tan, but never go out in the sun.

the majority of my heritage is Norwegian, one fourth

Isn't one sixteenth enough to be a tribal member? And Vikings?? Delightful. Just let me know if you're coming to rape and pillage so I can fix my hair. :P

I hate it when people think everyone in Germany was a Nazi. Germany was like 1984 at that time. Everyone was supposed to show support for Nazi Germany and anti-semitism. Many did what they did because they were afraid, not because they wanted to. The reason they didn't run off was because either they didn't have the courage, or they couldn't. And still more Germans had little idea of what was going on. The Progrom was kept from them. They were told the Jews were happy at the concentration camps, that they were being treated very well. They thought the Jews were just being set aside so that the "Aryan" race could flourish, not that they were being exterminated. It was mostly civillians outside of Germany that knew about everything.

well, i'm up to it but you might consider getting a pair of steel-toed shoes so that, when during a dance move i clumsily [accidently] step on your feet [i don't have eyes down there :roll: ], you won't get your teeny toesies bruised. :)

In today's America, it's a curse to be born white. We're still paying for the sins of our fathers. Nothing to be proud of, certainly. However, my ancestors never owned slaves, either, and in fact lived as indentured servants, indigenous American tribesmen and Eastern European serfs. Doesn't matter to non-Caucasians. If you're white, you're evil, period, regardless of your history or ancestry. Don't believe me? Watch MSNBC for about an hour. This is world opinion, according to the media.


This.

I'm white and I'm proud of my European heritage, but, contrary to popular belief, that doesn't make me a racist. If you're an honest, upstanding citizen, I don't care what color you are.


I agree with you guys. Reverse racism is as stupid as any racism.

White here, but I easily tan and don't really get sunburnt (if I do it goes from red to tanned within a day).
My sister is much paler, completely opposite from me. When we were kids and out with our mother people would ask which one of us was hers!

My ancestry is very dutch, but it is believed our family originates from Norway, most likely farmers. From my research this is at least before 1765.
