"Polish" is not an ethnic group. The same way that "Chinese" is not an ethnic group.


To clear it up a bit, do you mean that you want to be a Slovakian Pole? or a Jewish Pole? or what?

Hardly. I adore my big eyes, awesome bone structure, and defined nose.

I just love your people's males.

I experience Korean everyday.

I want to experience what it's like to be a wealthy 'African American,' instead of just being Black, and trying to make it. Trust me, there's a difference.

A wealthy african american would drive around a purple cadillac and wear gold watches, while ordering fried chicken delivery.

Just because I like anime, eat almost everything with chopsticks, speak a little Japanese, live in Japan, date Asian women, drift in an AE86... ok, never mind. I can't win this.

Uhhh... Italian. Does that count? Beautiful language and yummy food. I got stuck with the ugly German langauge, bratwurst, and a not so good political history. Mobsters are better than Nazis.

list of ethnic groups.

i think the original question is fine. but just because people are of the same "race" doesn't mean they'd also be the same ethnicity. and it gets even more complicated by the fact that the term "race" is often used loosely; some people believe there is only one human race, some follow the four-race model of caucasian (kanthoeroi?), negroid, mongolian, astraloid, and others classify even deeper.

so it's simply more convenient to drop the term "race" and just speak of ethnicity.

and polish, although non specific, could be considered an ethnic group. the han chinese would be the largest chinese ethnic group, although there are many other varients, ie. zhuang, manchu, blah blah blah.

anyway, enough of the mumbo jumbo technicalities. i'd like to experience being of irish descent, living in australia ;o.

I've always wanted to be Indian. I think Indian women are gorgeous and the heritage is really, really interesting. I personally think my heritage is kind of boring, though I do have a bit more too it than other American-bred white people around me, I suppose.
