text: what are you basically =) ? i know... funny question, but i mean by what are you is...  are you filipino-chinese? japanese-american? american? italian?  just thought i'd like to post this. feel free to add which of your relatives were... you know. i'm from argentina, and like many people here, i'm a mixture of different races. my dad is a descendant from italians and spanish people (that's the commonest here). but my mum has ancestors from as different countries as lebanon, syria (on her dad's side) and switzerland (on her mum's side)!  but again, this is not so uncommon here. if you take a look at the surnames in the book directory, you wouldn't know where exactly you are.
