Out of curiosity, here's a tally:

What is your race, IRL? This should be interesting to meter the diversity of SL residents.

Hrm....middle eastern? White? Spanish? I'm a jew, family was in the middle east, went to Spain, kicked out in 1492, went to eastern europe, came to the US somewhere in the early 1900's. I guess I'm white. I am a nice, geek-pale white. :D

Mom's ancestors were Scot/Irish, and Dad's were Danish.

Good Pioneer stock.

Hydropneumatic

Somtimimes, pure American... with the offset pigmitation of whatever skin texture I put on for that day, and with the sun augmenting my scales.

But we can just make it easy and call me whitey.

I don't know if the guys who posted 'human' and such were joking, but I'm not...

I'm a Terran! I say this because I'm from planet Earth, which I would like to see united as one people (although being a realist, I know this won't happen in my lifetime).

I am so totaly non-patriotic to my country - but I am to my planet.

(and please dont call me an 'earthling' :) )

white girl -- german, english, irish and a little native american thrown in for good measure :). Ironchef, my family has been in the same town since pre-civil war. Everyone in the family still lives here -- and I *chose* to move back of my own accord. What was I thinking? LOL

I'm with you on that one Eddie :) Let's hear it for the Terrans!
As far as heritage goes, I'm English/German/Welsh/and a pinch of Native American. In other words, I'm a mutt and a paleface.

5th Gen American, 3rd Gen West Coaster, 2rd Gen Californian, and Terran all the way… :D

Don’t let the red hair, green eyes and freckles fool you… I’m only about 60ish % Irish. ;)

The rest is a mix of Scottish, Swedish, English, German, and other European. (8

Heartily agree with Bosozoku… SHORT all the way!!!

and Maerl... you LOST!!!!! :p
