Mixed race...

Ok, so Wenworth is "mixed race (African-American, Jamaican, English, German, French, Dutch, Syrian and Lebanese)."

Wonder how many variations there are in the world, how many are mixed, how many nationalities one person can have.

I am German, Filipino, Spanish, Italian and Chinese...what is everyone else?!?

I am just english, germany, australian.
My grandfather is half italian.
Yeah i do admire Wenty's mixed race.

yea I found that fascinating when I found that out about Wentworth Miller! Genetics are such an interesting topic!

I think I am English, Scotish, and Native American mostly.

Im sure im half welsh half lesbanian.........

Lets be clear that ones nationality is completely different from their race. Half the things you listed for Wentworth are nationalities. His nationality since he was born in the UK is British. However he may identify himself as American since he was raised here. Gotta see his passport to know for sure!

Being born in the UK doesn't automatically make you british.

Here is what he said in an interview:

He was also asked about his views on racism in America and his views on racial definitions. "As far as being black versus African-American, I have a problem with hyphenates, I don't want to be African-American or Chinese-American or Irish-American. My family's been in this country for generations. There is no reason in the world why I can't lay claim to just American." His nationality was also brought up in which he revealed that he had dual nationality and holds both British and American passports. Overall as far as he is concerned he is “American first, last and always.”

I dunno, maybe in the olden days of the 70's you were automatically british when you were born there, but it definately wasn't the case during the 80's.

My point exactly. He happens to have dual citizenship. But the first post listed maybe 2 races and the rest were nationalities.
