This topic sort of came up in another thread, and it got me wondering. This site is great because it gives us a chance to speak to one another about a particular favorite topic, the Indiana Jones franchise. But in my opinion what is really cool about this site, is that we come from all over the world and are drawn here due to a common shared interest! The members of this site all have vastly different backgrounds and cultural differences. So I'm curious, what are some of your ethnic backgrounds and where do you live? Do your ethnic roots play a significant role in your life culturally, or are they just a line to your ancestors.
Try to be more specific as well, not just I'm American, Italian, or Chinese!
I for one am American, but was born in London, England. My family for the most part has very strong Irish roots with a hint of German thrown in. I've looked into it a bit and there's the possibility of Scottish roots as well, prior to my ancestors arriving in Ireland. As for where I live, it's in a suburb on the outskirts of Detroit, Michigan. And as for my ethnic background playing a significant role in my life, it absolutley does. My parents being 3rd generation Irish passed down a love for my culture, and family roots are very important to all of us!
So what about you guys?
