I voted (will be voting, actually) Other.
Despite the wealth of Spanish, American, Chinese, and a-dash-of -whatever-else influence in the Philippines, I like to think that we have developed a culture of our own. Malayo-Polynesian, perhaps? |

Western thought is far too rooted in my nature to make me anything but 'western.' Though I do like to travel...

The lines between these civilizations is rapidly getting fuzzier.

Quote:
Although there are still areas that try to remain in their imagined original state of cultural unity and national identity (f.ex. most of Finland, where I live). Though I don't think this is due to the exceptional cultural resistance or richer tradition of these areas, as people living in these places oftentimes like to think. Maybe they are just so far away from other people? Living "behind God's back" as the Finnish saying has it?

To follow Saucey's description:
Nationality: American Race: As white as they come (No, I can't dance. Don't rub it in.) Ethnicity: Half Scotch-Irish, Quarter English, Quarter Polish Outlook: Dinstinctly American, but so tied to my Irish heritage my blood is green. I'm fairly certain that makes me Western, though perhaps not the same Western as Saucey. In fact, I would say we're very different sorts of Western.

Taking a leaf out of Saucepan's book...
Nationality: American
Race: Caucasian Ancestry: English, Scottish, Irish, French French (as in, not Canadian French) Outlook: Certainly Euro-centric. Definitely Tolkien-centric. Most likely Anglo-centric. (Am I making up words again?) It seems Saucepan and I are alike; I'm Western...yee-haw! |

If it ain't broke... use it!
Nationality: Canadian Racial Stock: Caucasian Ancestry (as far back as I know): German and Dutch- albeit the German part lived in Russia for 150 years. Outlook: General Canadian, with a broad touch of Vatican City, and a certain nostalgic cultural longing for England. Which Equals: Squarely Western. Part North American, Part Catholic, Part wannabe-Saucie, but still Western.

You took the words right out of my mouth...it must have been when you were kissing me
Seeing as you find not embarassing to indicate it, I'm going to start Race Poll - the treat I felt hesitant to do up to now.
