    Hey guys, I thought it would be fun to hyphenate ourselves. You know, list ALL your ethnicities, joined together by hyphens. I'll go first:
    I am a Scottish Irish German Native American - American! LOL

    Anyone else?

    As far as I am aware, simply Swedish-American. My parents were from Sweden and, while I suppose it's entirely possible that somewhere along the line, one of my ancestors moved to Sweden from somewhere else, I am not aware of it.

    Scots Irish Dutch and a drop of native American-American, with more Irish in the blood than anything. I got the Irish twice as in Scots Irish and Dutch Irish. The native American is on my Dutch Irish side as my great great grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee. It is also possible that somewhere along the lines there is something else, but what I've said is what I've always been told and all I know.

    Well, with a maiden name of Campbell, the Scots is obvious. As far as I can tell, I'm: Scots-Irish-Welsh-English-American. My father's people came from Appalachia, so it's quite possible that there's Native American in there somewhere. My mother's people are from Tidewater Virginia, so they're probably straight up English/Welsh.

    Now, if I include my heritage by marriage, I'd have to add: French Canadian-Cherokee-Scots-Irish.

    By temperament - definitely Scottish, on so many levels!! :D

    Ok, I am American Indian and German. My mother was raised on and off of a reservation in upper Oregon, and my father came from upper Alabama.

    My father called me a Square Headed Blanket Ass Indian. Oh well, so much for being proud of your heritage.
    :):p

    Okay, let me join this thread just for fun. I'm sure you've read the word Fil-Am to mean Filipino-American, that's half Filipino and half American. How about Fil-Jap? Obviously a half Filipino and half Japanese. And there are the Fil-Chin also called Chinoys who are half Filipino and half Chinese. And althoug just a few of them but we have the Fil-Can for half-Filipino and half-Canadian.

    Lastly, we also have the Fil-Fil... hmm, it's hard to guess? It means half Filipino and half Filipina. Huh, that's a joke to mean gay. Hahahaaa.

    Well, let's keep hyphenating, and let me tell you that I am a Greek-Italian-Spaniard-Mexican native who loves the AmerIcan-British culture but also has a crush for the German culture, as I think to have said in another thread ;)
