Be very specific like blacks from the US south as opposed to black from the bahamas or like Italians in america or Italians in Italy.  Please include mannerisms and stereotypes you find to be true.

This is a cultural question, not scientific.\n\nI find the most annoying are ethnic groups that are annoyed by other ethnic groups. the mannarisms of such people are things like self interest and paranoia.

I would choose Italian.  I would also avoid buffets.  Good luck.

This is one of the great flaws in labeling people, especially using politically correct terms.\n\nLogically, if someone with Irish ancestors is an "Irish-American", and someone with Italian ancestors is "Italian-American", then someone with white ancestors from South Africa is "African-American".\n\nMy friend Janus is very dark skinned, but was born in England to family from the carribean. Nothing sets her off like calling her an African-American. She'll tell you quite properly that she's English!!\n\nI have no idea what to call my friend who was born in India, raised in Tanzania, Toronto and New Jersey, and now lives in San Francisco. Perhaps "Well travelled" is the best description!

Could go either way. Latin, since you are from Latin America &\nHispanic because you come from a Spanish-speaking country.\nOf course, these are cultural/ethnic designations without any racial connotation. Being of Argentinian heritage, you are most likely unmixed white of Spanish, Italian and/or German extraction. I'd go with Hispanic, if I had to choose! (It's more Eurocentric and best applies to people from Spain, Uruguay,  Argentina, Chile & Cuba.)\nThat is, of course, assuming that your ancestry is from Spain. So many Argentinians (& Uruguayans) are actually of Italian extraction. Italians are more Latin than the Spanish, who  really are more of a Celtic people.  Anyway, you are an American!

hear hear!  I'm canadian and believe it is an intentional choice, so as to marginalize any other americans, we must be sub-categorized as if we north americans are less important.  (also south, central, latin, african, etc, etc.)

Unfortunately, there are many narrow minded, intolerant, racist people in the south and everywhere else in the US. I do think that racism is a little more common in the south. I for one am a southerner and it makes me sick to hear nasty misconceptions about people just because they are a different race, different religion, or live a different lifestyle. I wish more people had a "live and let live" attitude. We'd all be better off.

Oh come on! Italians had the mafia (a much organized gang) Puerto Ricans have gangs, and don't forget the Irish. Even white gangs  have existed, remember the ones with white sheets and white hoods) that went around killing Black Americans.  Gangs is not=Mexicans. Steal stuff? hey know lots of white collars who steal stuff (ENRON) And talking about illegal, how about all the businesses  illegally hiring illegals in the first place.  What an immature argument you put forth here.

You may be right, but then again not all Europeans are purely "white", whatever that means.\n\nEuropeans do tend to look more like specific nationalities. For example, if you go to Germany most whites will look German, and most Italians will look Italian. In America you cannot easily identify a person's nationality, in part because there is no distinct national heritage and because America literally is a melting pot. Some have theorized that Americans will eventually look like a combination of all races- a sort of light tan color.\n\nI personally find it odd that if a person is 1/4 black and 3/4 white, they can be regarded as "black". It almost seems racist, because it is effectively saying "If you're not pure white, you're not white."  But what should we call a person like that? Black? White? Both? People probably feel more comfortable saying they are white (if they can get away with it) because it gives them certain social advantages, many of them racist in origin.  Most Anglo Americans desire to have some connection to Plymouth Rock and the Puritans (why I do not know).  They would rather not consider the very real possibility that they are not "pure bred" Puritans.\n\nThen again, would it really be so bad to not be pure bred Puritans? Have you seen paintings of some of those people? Not the most good-looking Europe had to offer.

Personally, as an american girl i love italian boys the most (so do most of my friends) then usuallly french, english, etc. usually, germans and russians aren'tt that cool.  \n\nROMAINIAN guys are the worst! (no offense to the romainians) seriously, the other day i was talking with my friend and this girl asked if this guy was hot and my friend was like, "no, he's romanian!" lol

I've always been attracted to Italian men. Dark hair, dark eyes, passionate, emotional, sentimental. My high school boyfriend, my college boyfriend & first husband were all Italian. Father of my only child.....(I'm with a blue-eyed "mutt" now)

Unlike most, who will give the standard politically correct answer you probably expect, I will tell you the hard truth.\n\nStereotypes and generalizations are based primarily on group traits, based on years and perhaps centuries, of common reactions to different situations.  In short, there ARE traits exhibited by different ethnic and racial groups that are typical to that group.  I am not talking about skin color but rather common traits found in slang speech, clothing choices, even vehicle choices.  It is based on cultural values and experience that goes to the root of that particular race or ethnic group and has been cultivated over thousands of years.  Thats why you will find Jews heavily in finance, Germans tending towards advanced engineering, the Italians having a sharp sense of style, etc.

anglos in this country don't have much culture.  most ethnic groups have been discriminated against in the united states.  scorsese did a brilliant movie about the english and irish called gangs of new york.  i think most people think the black market and mafia are engrained in italian culture even though italians in the united states resorted to them because they were shut out of white peoples culture.  italians don't forget as easily.  italy also has a culture.  the english have never been big on culture and culture in the united states is non-existant.  most italians i know dont consider themselves "whites" -- perhaps that is even why you put it in parentheses.  i am french and slovene and always check "other".  white is something i don't care to be.

generally talking, sweden and norway. but i don't think this can be related to ethnic origin, because there is no 'pure race'. and i also think racial mixing creates more beautiful people.

Funny, I thought about that too. Not only are there people of European descent in Africa but most north Africans (Berbers and Arabs) are classified as 'white' too. I wish we could get rid of all the racial labels and just be HUMAN. Also, some East Indian and Native Americans are as dark as or darker than 'black' people. Racial labels are stupid.
