SLAENT Demographics
- Page 1 of 1
We a tight community, but not everyone may be as close or know other users as well so I thought maybe a demographics thread is useful to kind of share your culture/ethnicity and just a little of your background so that we understand where some of us come from a bit better and don't make too big of a blanket statement or assumption against other users. I am not making this thread to judge you on race, it is just difficult to understand where some people come from when they say things or argue for things.
Share if you comfortable with it, no need to if you are not.
Things like where you from, your cultural/ethnic background, where you currently live just to shape idea of how you may be as a person and why you think or say a certain thing or way you do.

They say I'm from the happiest country in the world, which I am not very confident is true. Lived most of my life not too far away from Copenhagen, but always been happier when living abroad. Worked in the Philippines 7 months last year, and now going to Norway in a few weeks for permanent work, which I however doubt will be that much different from Denmark. White, middle class family, really from a family as stereotypical as you can be from here. Do have some Jewish genes in our family, but not even enough to even bother the Germans when they invaded in the 40's.
Race - 1/500 Cherokee on my grandmom's side but 99.9 percent black.

I've ground up in the greater LA area my whole life. I'm a white male aged 36.
Nationally I'm a mutt. My father immigrated from Italy when he was like 5. He's from a part of Italy that was lost to Slovania during the times of Tito. My mother's side has been in the states much longer who's mostly Irish and English and German. I grew up in a blue collar family with my father working Union Electrician his whole life. My mom stayed at home. We've always been middle class because the union rocks. (seriously the work is hard, but being a union electrician is good work) I currently work as a project manager for an electrical contractor myself. I'm a straight line Dem voter. I'm now a food loving, beer bellied man who loves surfing, beer, video games, basketball, baseball, fishing, hunting and my wife and child. I hate mowing the lawn. Like I really hate it. Enough to put it in this short description of myself.

I'm black; 1st-generation of Haitian immigrants who came into the country in the 70s.
I've been sick with depression since early in my childhood and it's only now that I'm starting to get a good grasp of the situation and improved my personal mental condition. Been working on improving myself ever since I've left highschool (around 10 years ago).
I'm almost 30 and will enter university this upcoming fall (a bachelor degree in IT).

Born in Bosnia to Bosnian-Serb parents and came to Toronto, Canada when I was 3 as a refugee to escape war.
Hawaiian - Japanese - Irish
Born in Hawaii. Raised in Baltimore, Maryland since I was seven.
Father is native Hawaiian/Jap; mother is Irish/Polish/German. An only child with little to no family connection outside of my mother and her husband by choice.
Hobbies: Shopping, cooking, gaming, watching sports, being lazy. Prefer fat asses and thighs over tits. Cute and fun trumps all though.

White Welsh, lived in the same house in North Wales for most of my life. Never been outside of Europe.
Oh, and I don't have a Welsh accent. Nobody from my area does really as I live quite close to the border. Don't really have a certain distinguishable accent, just sound English really.

By reilo Go To PostPenny, how far from Hagen are you?About an hour.
100km or so.
The city where I live is called Gütersloh (the central of Miele is here, in case anyone got a washing machine from them), but I doubt anyone would know it, so I picked two cities that are a bit more known around here.
By reilo Go To PostAh. I grew up in Hagen from '92-98 before coming to the US.Yeah I renember that.
Along with your tale to find proper chips.
Hagen also changed quite a bit lately.

30 something white guy born and raised in south Louisiana. We're talking Waterboy, Duck Dynasty country. Don't really slip into an accent reminiscient of the area unless I'm dead tired or drunk.
Ancestors up through great-grandparents are all French lineage. Great-grandparents on mom's side were stowaways and settled way out in the country while dad's side were legit and settled outside of New Orleans.
Have traveled all across the southern, southeastern, and southwestern US with some trips to the midwest. Only went overseas once (Japan). Struggle to see myself moving outside of south Louisiana because of the food and general hospitality down here.

Louisiana hospitality my arse
I don't know much about my heritage, but I'm a white male, blonde hair (although it's a lot darker now I'm older), blue eyes, 26 years old.
I'm Scottish born, but I've moved around a lot as a kid, living mostly in England, my mum is English. Got a ginger beard, whatever that tells you. I think I might be some kind of Irish.
Right now I live on my own in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.
