Yes, we don't don't get into the ethnic thing here like many parts of the country.
Its more where (what town) you grew up.
I've noticed that many other parts of the country are very aware if you are Italian, Irish, Greek, whatever.
It's great that people know their heritage is, it keeps life interesting.
To me it's much more important what somone's values are.
Agreed. The Quad Cities, where I am originally from, is a true melting pot. Wasn't always that way, but it is now. It was always heavily Hispanic and Black, but now it's Asian, Indian, African, you name it. Not much trouble between races to speak of.
