And a smidge Native American, and Russian, and Scots, and Irish, but it's the Puerto Rican that's most of it.
What genes to I get?
The white ones. Very, very white.
I also grew up as something of a nomad. 12 schools before I graduated, more after. I've been the victim of race-based crime, though I didn't see it that way until nearly 20 years later, when somebody pointed it out to me when I told them the story. I'm also pretty darned "color-blind" except to notice the beauty of a skin-tone. I do admit to a big cultural divide, because I didn't grow up in any communities with a lot of black people. I understand Native American and Hispanic stuff much better. Given where I currently live and work, this sometimes leads to me looking like a deer in headlights. But I live and learn. I love to learn about people.

Was that sufficiently rambly? Make ANY sense?
