Lots of discussion out there about Bernie & race so I thought I would take a poll.

[jillan]

Thought this would be interesting....

I'm using a standard list like one you would find at a doctor's office, so I hope I'm not offending anyone....

I'll start - I am white with a little bit of Latino mixed in.

1. I'm so white it's embarrassing . . .

My brother and I had our DNA tested for genealogy purposes. We are 99.6% northern European.

We knew there was lots of German, Irish, English and Swedish in our blood, but we were hoping for something interesting. My paternal grandfather thought there was Native American or even African blood in his line. Nope, not a bit.

half Norwegian from my mother and descended from William Brewster on the Mayflower on my dad's side. There is supposed to be some Cherokee blood but I can't prove it.

7. When I enter a room I'm automatically accepted and my wishes are respected.

I get courteous treatment from the police, and if stopped am usually excused and sent on my way.
I am treated well by waiters, store clerks, mailmen, people in the streets and in parks.
Nobody crosses the street when they see me coming.
There is more, but my point is made:
I must be white in America.

8. Mexican, Native American and Irish.

Dad was mixed and mom was Irish.

[LiberalElite]

9. Irish/english

my red haired brother had to wear a t-shirt at the beach so he wouldn't burn up (this was pre-sun block days)

[GreatGazoo]

10. This is what I am

[TM99]

11. I am bi-racial.

My father was AA, Afro-Caribbean, and German. My mother was first generation born in America of immigrant Scottish and Russian mother & father respectively.

It is interesting you are taking this poll, but I already know of at least AA Sanders supporters who no longer post at DU after last year's bullshit.

I fear this will not truly reflect what has been going on with race on these boards.

[Rebkeh]

12. I am Black, a Gen Xer, a woman, and staunch Bernie supporter

I don't fit into the boxes this election.

[Half-Century Man]

13. Father's side, Central European. (Germany/Holy Roman Empire)

Mother's side, Great Britain.

[Dont call me Shirley]

14. Human, with white skin of Northern European Scandinavian DNA.

15. I used to be Snow White.....but I drifted. n/t
