Good guys on this forum… o_0
so its been 4 pages, are you ever gonna say what are?
Half-elf?
You look like your race is the marathon.
No.
Well, I’m done posting in this topic. I’d like to thank anyone who was nice enough to not be a dick about what they said. Quite frankly, i’m still trying to figure out exactly what I did that made everyone say how “Ridiculous” this thread was. A lot of people can look at someone and tell very quickly where they are from, so I decided to ask people accross a few forums I regular to see if someone could see what i was. The people in the first page could figure it out; northern european mainly. Still working on it, but theres German, french, irish, and scottish in there. Mostly German, even though compared to most German guys i dont think I look very much like them, but i’ve been told I look German before, so i don’t know.
And for anyone that was nitpicking about how I used the word race- I don’t “buy” into that. You’re mistaken if you think I think i’m superhuman for being white. I just prefer to say race instead of ethnicity, as do a lot of people.
Anyways, like I said, thanks for the serious posts for whoever did so. I’ve seen much worse threads go on that had to do with nothing; but thats what the off topic forum is for. It may not be “anthropology heaven” as some smartass posted, but you never know who does what here, and like I said, it can be easy to tell where people are from sometimes.
I’m going to guess you are a Demi-Canadian. Am I close? How about a Double Hobbit? A Half Halfling?
Uh,white…

You do have super powers boy, the power of crying to music that resembles punk with no testicles.
I call you CAPTAIN EMO, with the power of bitch. Impervious to the kick to the groin, his only weakness being black lipstick and prada.

One more. I forgot to address this in the last post.
If anyone thinks I look “emo” at all in that last picture, you’re sadly mistaken, and I very much doubt you’ve ever seen a real emo person. I’ll say it again- in that picture im wearing a baggy ICP hoodie and an ICP beanie. ICP is about as far from “emo” or “punk” gets.
And Jacross- I really liked how in your post before the last you talked about “stooping to my level”, when you were the one to call me “fuckwit” before I said anything about you. Did you think about that one, fuckwit?
Alright, im TRULY done with this post thread now. If you have something you’de like to say about this, feel free to PM. I know that wont make you look cool in front of everyone by calling me such clever names like “fuckwit” and “douchenozle”, but it’ll get your point to me accross.

Most anthropologists accepted this fact before the nazis ruined it for everybody. After WW2, the ensuing backlash against racial science for nationalist gain ushered in the current social and academic mood, which is pretty much “we’re all equal no matter what la la la la la I can’t hear you!” This has killed the science of racial anthropology.
Seriously though, nobody bats and eye when you suggest that two animals of the same species can be separate subspecies, despite the fact that their differences might be minute in comparison to those found in humanity.

Accepted? Many of those same anthropologists in the early 1900’s had an extreme racial bias towards Africans and African Americans. The Nazis didn’t invent racism in science. What they did was take it to an extreme as far as action.

A few points. For starters, anybody can see that different races exist. Racial differences are certainly more than “skin deep”, encompassing skeletal structure and muscle type. It remains to be seen if there are differences in thought process and brain function, but since even discussing racial differences is taboo, it may be a while yet before the scientific community figures it out.

I am going to assume that this is not a racist response for starters. There are genetic tendancies among GROUPS of people. Asians, for example, scored 4% higher than whites on average on the original IQ tests.
Take away the skin color genes and you can not tell what race someone belongs to by even a complete analysis of their DNA.
In the current human DNA map, their are 7 major subgroups of humans that are statistically significantly different. 6 of these are various subgroups of Africans. The 7th consists of north east africans and all other ethnic groups-white, indian, asian, native american and aboriginal australians. In other words, caucasions are a phenotypic variation of one of the 7 major subgroups of Africans.
Any person on earth has a genome that could statistically fall within the genetic variability of any subgroup (if skin color is removed).

Hey, douchenozzle! When you try to claim some Native American heritage, be more creative than your run of the mill douchenozzle and his ‘cherokee’ heritage. Cree, CHoctaw, Mandan, Nez Perce, etc…
It’s a well known fact that the Cherokee were the swingers of the frontier and sired many a “racially diverse” child. The Cree were like the ugly friend at the bar who can’t get a girl to go home with him to save his life.[/quote]

And yeah “Jacross”, nice insult with the “fuckwit”. You really got me on that one “BRO”. I think I abandoned that one in middle school. Oh well, I can’t expect much from a person who plays sports a profession.
I’m perturbed that I must resort to doing this.
I don’t play sports as a profession. My occupation is ‘professional amateur footballer’. It’s a joke regarding my level of skill in football and my desire to eventually be paid something in the bush league called AFLCanberra. I suggest you look up the word amateur in the dictionary. I don’t get paid anything. I’m absolutely touched that you trawled through my biography in an attempt to collect material for your marvelous return salvo of a post.
While I am not a professional sportsman myself, I think your attitude towards them as a whole is unwholesome and petty. I do not make the point that they are somehow geniuses but they deserve respect for their achievements and their are many professional athletes who are also intelligent. I don’t wish to call into question either your athleticism or intellect as I know nothing of your abilities in either field (save the quality of your posts so far). I merely make the point that assumptions do not help you, they simply open up your witty barbs to retort. If you had’ve left the sports jibe off, your attack would have had much more punch…but I’ll get to that part right now.
Now the dreaded ‘I’m smarter than you’ war. Perhaps there is no cultural crossover but ‘fuckwit’ happens to be a celebrated putdown in my Country. Bro is simply a play on kiwis (New Zealanders). As our neighbours, we enjoy a friendly rivalry and mutual mockery. Bro is a word they happen to use frequently (albeit stereotypically).
If you must know my occupation, I work two casual jobs as I am currently a student studying Science and Law at uni. Does that automatically make me smart? No it doesn’t but it easily rebuts your premise of my lack of intelligence. For your own information I work as a carpark attendant and librarian. What’s smart about those jobs is I get paid to pretty much do nothing.
Finally, an explanation. You were only 50-75 because Ash saved you and I meant it in a jovial manner. However even the awesome might of Bruce Campbell is not enough to protect you now.
If you want a semiserious answer: Whiteboy mallrat. That’s what you look like.
Damn.[/quote]
The moral of the story? Dont fuck with Canberrans!
(Don’t worry, I dont exepct many people to find this post even remotely interesting)

Since you’ve given away the fact that the answer is not obvious, I would say that you are 1/2 chinese, and 1/2 eastern european-maybe Serbo croation, Greek or Romanian.
If I didn’t know it was something unique, I’d say that you are of European descent.
hey hows this for an answer…
you look skinny in the “older one” and you look skinny in the more recent…so who gives a fuck that this is the “off topic” forum, which means you can post about whatever you please…im wondering how your hobby of posting pictures of yourself on multiple websites leads you to a bodybuilding website? or are you so wrapped up in reading this site that you never get around to trying any of the shit out?
ohhh hey where the fuck do i look like i originate from…this is 2006, who the fuck cares? youre either white, black, asian, indian, or native american…thats just how it goes these days, you are what you look like, not whose piss you trickled out of way back when.
youre white, and you and your friends need better hobbies.
I’m an American, damn it.
Gimme some french fries!
