Irish, Scottish, German, English are basically Caucasion.

I bet Italians are damn glad they aren't Caucasions..

I´m not sure if europeans and pygmys can actually reproduce.

Of course they can. We're not separate species.

BTW, for the record, I'm of Prussian German descent and there is a difference....

These days when you call yourself "prussian" it mostly means you´re nobility.

(since usually only nobility is so concerned with their ancestry that they know they are from old prussia, rather than just germany)

I would think so too. but its not that obvious.

Most would never understand the cultural/language differences in a region about as large as the State of Ohio. I was mostly considering it a reference to a geographic region and I'm certainly not nobility since I'm American. It's like the pride certain people have in the US about where they come from, like Texas. We did have a Von before our family name was anglitized. My grandfather immigrated from Brandenburg after WWI, he was a career officer. I don't speak German but can understand some basic German but dialects from other regions are practically incomprehensible to me, Bavarian for example.

there is some fascinating information on indoeuropean tribes and the spread of language as well. too complex too discuss here but I found it fascinating awhile back and different tribes

Half African, half Irish here. I've been told by people that I'm African/American, but my dad was born in, and lives in Africa. He was never a U.S. citizen. He came over on a college visa, tapped my mom, and went back. My mom has red hair and green eyes and is from Cali. Does African/American apply? My mom's parents are from Ireland. The majority of people looking at me think I'm Puerto Rican.

You're American....no need for adding your cultural heritage to the title but if you want one then African American does apply. You won't see me claiming to be German American, unless it gets me laid, I'm just American.

Right on! USA-USA-USA...ha-ha.

Bro you're an American. There's nothing wrong with your color or your racial background. You have to be proud of them. What makes you good or bad, is your way of thinking; the use of logic, common sense, critical thinking. That's all.
