Here's what other kids had to say:

American is not really an ethnicity it's a nationality. A Japanese person could come to America and they would be considered American but they're obviously not; They're Japanese...So Yeah...It's tricky-sticky situation when it comes to Amercanism.

I am African-American and Native American (Cherokee.) Even though over generations our Native American gene has grown weaker I still hold some Native American traits. I'm lighter than anyone in my family which is kind of funny :) I have extremely thick, wavy, darkest brown-almost black hair, and almond shaped eyes. Alot of peopel think I'm white and black! NOPE! Wrong! :) I love my ethnicities!!
