Jerky,
Actually, I am part Cherokee. Add to that some English, German, Irish, French, and possibly some Greek, and you get me. I even hear that I may have some Spanish or Portuguese.
That makes me a European-Mediterranean-Native-American . I thought that was too many hyphens, and I am not crazy about hyphens anyway. I am not big into classifying groups of people because all that does is foster stereotypes and generalizations. If it turned out that 80% of TL owners were from one ethnicity (other than your own perhaps), would that affect how you felt about your purchase? If so, I’d want to do some soul searching to find out why that I felt that way.
I guess if I have to select one of the choices, I'd have to be called mixed, but I would guess most of us are mixed to some degree. To be classified as mixed, do you have to be more than 25% of an ethnicity other than that of your primary one? Or is the cutoff 30%, 40%, or maybe 47.75289437%? Maybe it is lower, like 15%, or 11.6302%? (I am about 12% Native-American for the record)
I'd rather visualize our community here as car enthusiasts who happen to have a thing for the TL and other fun-to-drive, feature-laden, value-driven, rocket-looking rides. Am I wrong?
