Interesting piece

I am mostly of German stock (Cherokee, Irish and Welsh) and really I have no idea what if any affected my blood line has had on me or my way of thinking.

I think our time and place in world events, as well as the goals of our ancestors have had more to do with who we are.

Lessee now, Cherokee, Irish and Welsh, with some German. Does that mean that you may have a tendency to cry after hikes, drink at wakes, and join a choir anytime you meet other Welchmen and sing German army marching songs?

I'm part Scot, part Danish and part Engish with a touch of French. Does that mean I like blue body paint and fight anyone who takes offense, eat a lot of ocean fish, hate the Scots and refuse to fight in wars? Naaaah! What I really inherited from my nearest ancestors, my four grandparents, is an unbeatable tendency towards obesity, nearsightedness and a funny nose.

Aint that the truth. I'm German and Choctaw, and I have a hell of alot more in common with the Britts I know than any German national I've met. Nothing against Germans, but they remind me of cats.
