I'm sorry,but it's impossible to lump such a diverse cultural mix into a single ethnic label...You can't tell me that an Amish,an Irish-American,an African-american ,a French Canadian, A Southerner and a Californian have enough in common to constitute a race.............It would be nice to think that we were all equal as identifiable citizens of our nations,but the reality is that the race boundaries have been diluted to the point of insignificance by mass migration.I choose to call myself a New Zealander,but my children can just as easily choose to identify with their English,Dutch,Maori or Pakeha descent....identification based on racial basis is a throwback to the days when regions kept to their seperate gene pools.It's a feature of the 20th century that should have been left there.
