Yeah, I've been wondering if maybe I should have worded that differently. I was wondering if maybe some people might quickly scan through and see "white" or "black" and just pick that one without really properly reading everything. I was considering using "mulatto" but some people find that offensive, so I went with black/white. Ah well.

I am mostly German. My father is from Germany while my grandmother on my mother's side came from Ireland.

Most of my ancestors are from Sri Lanka, where I was born. I'm pretty sure I had a few Portuguese ancestors, as my mother's father had a Portuguese surname. He had blue eyes, which is very unsual for a South Asian.

This poll is for my own personal curiosity.

NOTE: Please answer ONLY if you have Asperger's, or strongly suspect that you have Asperger's (or High Functioning Autism or similar condition).

If you do not have Asperger's/HFA, but want to see the results of the poll, please choose the last option. Thanks!

**UPDATE** I've decided to include most autistics in the survey. I'm mainly looking for people with "alien" thinking. So, if you're autistic and have no problem understanding any of this, feel free to respond. **

Choose the closest option. For instance, if you are mostly European but you had an American Indian ancestor way back when, choose "Eurasian." Or, if I didn't name your area exactly, choose the one that seems like the closest fit.

For the purposes of this poll, use these definitions:

Eurasian: Europe, Western Asia, Turkey, the former Soviet "stans," other Turkic peoples, Persia, Mongols

Arabic/North Africa: Arabian peninsula, non-black and non-European people from Northern Africa

South Asian: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh

East Asian: Han Chinese, Korea, Japan

Southeast Asian: Southern China (non-Han), Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma

American Indian (North): Native peoples of North America that are not Inuit/Eskimo or Hispanic

Central and South American Indian: Native peoples from Central and Southern America, Hispanics from this area that are mostly non-European and non-African

Inuit/Eskimo: Native peoples from the Arctic area, including Siberia

Sub-Saharan Africa: people who trace most of their ancestry to Sub-Saharan Africa (blacks, pygmies, !Kung)

Pacific Islander: Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia, and Australian Aborigines

Black/White: If you are approximately half Black, half White, choose this option.

Glorious Rainbow: If you have a wide mix of ancestry with no one area predominating, choose this.

None of these: If you somehow fail to fall into any of these categories, choose this option (please elaborate below)

I do not have Asperger's or High Functioning Autism: If you do not have Asperger's or High Functioning Autism, choose this option

I am all Western European(English/Scottish/Irish/French(both of my parents are french)/Spainish/German) and Southern Slavic (Yugoslav and Polish(mom is polish and french)

I guess I should choose Eurasian on your poll?

You should introduce them to "Cult of the Psychic Fetus".

Oh by the way, my family leads back partly to Ireland (I think) and the other part is firmly rooted here in Australia (Probably) which would lead back to Britian and possibly other European countries anyway.
