Hariko Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I was curious on what TWP's demographic make-up was after seeing a couple threads like these in F7 or something. My nationality is American; born and raised in New England. Arcainite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hariko Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 WHAT??? You're not at all Korean? That reaction, though. XD No. The Korean script is remarkably easy to learn. I think the King Sejong was the one who said “It is easy enough for a wise man to learn in the space of a morning, and a fool ten days.” Malviet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drachmaland Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 That reaction, though. XD What did you expect? My whole life has been a lie! My pie diagram is extremely easy: 100% Greek from both parents, and a Greek national. Hariko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drachmaland Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 ! So you are neither Arabic nor Korean? *looks at Zogradia's factbook* Yes, that was the second thing I thought when I saw it! (First was that the fractions don't add up. ) Third was, what's this thing with TWP being Korea-obsessed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hariko Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Yes, that was the second thing I thought when I saw it! (First was that the fractions don't add up. ) Third was, what's this thing with TWP being Korea-obsessed? I chose to learn Korean because it's the easiest out of the East Asian languages to learn. Learning hanja is optional, the alphabet can be learned in an hour or two, there isn't that much declension, no tones, and its easy for a 미국인 to learn how to pronounce. Not to mention the wealth of Korean media to base your pronunciation off of and practice reading. Malviet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedy Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Scottish and.....we know not what.

Mediobogdum Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 What, none of you has any English in you! Me, I'm 62.5% English, 25% Irish, and 12.5% French. Hope the math is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnipeg Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'm Canadian, but my mother's side is Scottish (MacLeod) and my father's side is scottish (Morrison) and Icelandic (Stephenson). Don't know much on my mother's side as she was adopted at birth, so aside from her mother's name and nationality, we know virtually nothing. My father's side is a bit more interesting...the family lore (with very little evidence to back it up but...) is that William Stephenson was adopted into our family at birth in Winnipeg. Those who don't recognize the name, he is one of the primary inspirations for the character known as James Bond. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Stephenson Not a Blood relation, but still cool in my books. I only learned of this particular bit 3 years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujai Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 My nationality is American, born in Chicago, raised in Wisconsin. Ethnicity is more complicated. My mom is 100% German, and my dad has some German as well, but there's also French (via Canada), English (via New England and Canada in the 1600s), some Scottish, and a tiny slice of Polish. I have an ancestor, Peter Ingersoll, who was a Captain in the Continental Army and also owned an inn in Great Barrington, MA. I don't remember the name of it though.

TunApocalypse Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Nationality is American, born and raised in Connecticut.On my Mother's side I'm equally 50% French and 50% German. (Grandmother was French, Grandfather was German, both were first generation immigrants). My grandfather had a pretty fun childhood, which took place primarily during the rule of the Third Reich. He was relocated by the government a bunch of times (my great grandfather was an officer in charge of making those kinds of decisions so he was normally able to work out some nice arrangements, no we weren't Nazis), once living on a farm just outside of Warsaw. He even got to experience the thrill of fleeing from the advancing Russian forces on a wagon train though Czechoslovakia when he was 17. He genuinely came from a time when men were men, women were men, and children were men.On my Father's side things are hard to get down with 100% accuracy, but it's roughly 50% English from my Grandfather from whom we can trace my family back to the first Mayflower. On my Grandmother's side I'm mostly Irish with a dash of French Canadian. She claims that my irish bits also have a bit of Spanish from when the Armada crashed (We all thought it was complete BS, but after taking one of those genealogy DNA tests it showed similarities to Spanish traits, so who knows. There was also some Turkish that came up, but we have no idea what's up with that.). She also claims that the French Canadian bits also have a bit of Native Canadian, but we can't prove it.

Hariko Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Perhaps Elegarth could set up a poll eventually so we can get a better visual on the demographics of TWP? Personally, I think that would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhang Bhang Duc Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Welsh by birth nationality, NZ by adoption (lived there over 15 years). Ethnicity - Welsh, but with mostly Irish and a little bit of English in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papercuts and Skittles Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 American, all my grandparents are American, but their parents came from the old countries. I'm 5/8's Swede and 3/8 German. What makes up those ethnicities past that is harder to figure out though. Was born in "Northern Virginia" for the non-DC locals, and have lived all over the country, Virginia, Florida, Wisconsin, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon.

Zogradia Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hey, I was born in that area, too! Actually, I was born on the other side of the Potomac in Greenbelt, Maryland, but I consider myself from DC (I lived there for most of my childhood).

Santinado: the Nation of Nerds Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'm predominantly African-American, but I do have European roots, such as French, Scottish and Ireland. There might be Asian ancestry, but I'll have to do some research. As for nationally, I'm originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, but currently resides in Austin, Texas, USA.
