i have to point this out from time to time. people get curious and are afraid to ask. or they make poor assumptions.

i'm a mutt in the most extreme terms possible.

dad's side:
cree, italian, jewish, french canadian. meditteranean, broadly. i can at times look overly jewish or overly italian, although i can get the marseilles look from time to time, too. the biggest marker is the nose.

mom's side:
finnish, norwegian, welsh, irish, scottish, british. celtic-norse-finnish is actually a mix found across a broad swath of eastern europe, including ukraine. it makes a strange amount of sense to label my mom's side slavic, even though there isn't any directly. whether i look more scottish or more norwegian or more welsh has a lot to do with what features my hair colour pulls out. blonde can make me look very slavic. red makes me look more scottish...
