I know a lot of people have commented on this already, but my very white/redhead boyfriend is completely set on telling everyone that he's "mostly" Irish, which is, in his estimation, 30%, because he's "a mixture of everything, including native american (he still says Indian) and black (WHAT?)" so that 30% is the dominance and is, therefore, his ethnicity. Also he is a redhead, so it MUST be true. It drives me insane. His family doesn't even know wtf he's talking about.

It’s when white people brag about what they’re mixed with.. like it  makes them more ethnic or exotic… just no bro

just stop 

I mean you can trace back and be like.. yeah I have this/that/little bit of this in my family… it’s just

don’t pull the “special-snowflake” card

just don’t bruh

I mean we are talking about a certain situation in this convo

I’m not saying you can’t be white and have an ethnic identity and all that

but race is different from ethnicity ya know?

I don’t want to be misconstrued here…

ALSO, WHERE THE FUQ DO THESE PERCENTAGES COME FROM

WHERE

SOMEONE EXPLAIN
