OK to clarify for the two arguing over my ethnic/racial/regional/whatever origins (this gave me quite a chuckle, by the way):

My ancestry includes:

Croatian- 25% German- 25% Polish- very small amount English- I think less than 25% French- some small amount Mystery- ???

Now, according to my own personal opinion, I most closely identify with the Croatian part– this family came over more recently and this culture is still part of my everyday life (food, language, strong family ties with this part of my family, etc). I also personally I look more Croatian than the other things. I am rather (as we call it in my family) ‘olive skin toned’ so this may have thrown you off, but I do believe by all American definitions, I am indeed, ‘white’. And sipping hot chocolate. mmm.

TROLL WARS!

Who wants this thread to die? Anyone? Anyone? Just me? No, maybe some of you do, too, with these newer comments.

Sathya is Prema, and Settle for Sendhil is Pardesi Gori. I think we can safely close the thread now.

No she TOTALLY does not. Based on that picture.

Because all Europeans are blondes with blue eyes, right?

Again, cite one racist comment I’ve made here, if you’re going to accuse me of racism.

And no, I’m not a right wing conspiracy theorist nut. By the way, both the far right AND the far left hold to the same conspiracy theories.

I don’t follow conspiracies, I don’t need to. All the info you need to know what’s going on and why is available in mainstream news and in history books. Reality makes conspiracy theories pale in comparison.

Please try to be honest:

All my white friends think I’m “racist” just for making the same observations that non-white people make about people.

No she TOTALLY does not. Based on that picture.

this was all planned centuries ago and we are watching the unfolding of a higher order set to destroy the human race on Earth.

Oh boy, another nutty right wing conspiracy theorist. Why am I not surprised?

Regarding current day Germans: if for whatever reason, they want to take some responsibility for something they are NOT AT ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR, well, what can I say? That is their personal choice.

I personally do not take on ANYBODY else’s responsibility but my own.

I believe in personal accountability, karma and reincarnation. I am not responsible for what a single other soul has done or not done.

I am accountable for my actions only. Not your’s, not my grandmother’s, and certainly not anybody from many lifetimes ago when I may have still been in animal, insect or plant form.
