Ethnicity

Ethnicity is an identifier which connotes a group with a common national or cultural tradition. Some ethnicities are massive with billions of members, such as Han Chinese, and others are small clans with fewer than 100 individuals. Some countries are almost mono-ethnic, like North Korea, and others have hundreds of indigenous ethnicities, like Nigeria. Come explore the history and culture of ethnicities in this category.

What is the main ethnicity in Ireland?

If you're asking what % of the modern Irish population is of English descent, Danish descent, and so forth, here's a good place to start: http://www.eupedia.com/forum/showthread.php?24907-Genetics-of-the-British-and-Irish-people

But since much of the information is of a technical sort, (requiring a fair grounding in the language of human genetics), it'd take quite a bit of study and a fair amount of number crunching to nail down percentages across various lineages.

An estimate is however given which states that roughly one quarter of today's Irish population descends from English stock (paternally). We'll understand how necessarily 'approximate' this has to be because, of course, what it means to be English is itself up for grabs as, yes, they too are an amalgam of peoples in their own right.

Based on the presence or absence of specific genetic markers, (and groups of markers, really), great gains are apparently being made toward clearing all of this up though. So the day may soon come that such questions can be answered with greater ease and confidence.

What ethnicity is Elvis Presley?

No he did Not hate Mexicans. He loved most everyone for their personalities since he was a mix of almost everything. He was even part Cherokee.

This was an ugly made up rumor back in 1958 and the details were exposed in a book years ago titled "Refried Elvis". Actress Elsa Cardenas also worked with him in a movie and addressed this saying in an interview that most Mexicans should know by now there was no truth in this rumour. She went on to say Elvis was one of the kindest and most open minded people she worked with in Hollywood. Same thing happened with a made up rumor among African American community back in in the 1950s. We now know it was a made up rumor to make people not like him, but everyone believed it ... some still do unfortunately, even though many blues musicians and black friends defended him, many people thought of him has a racist. These were just terrible rumors made up by mean spirited people that were jealous of Elvis success and wanted to spread hatred. by all accounts of people that new him no matter what nationality or race they were, Elvis liked everyone.

What do you call a half Mexican and half German?

You are a Mexican-American. Mexican is a nationality, not a race, so you could be asking something on the lines of what do you get if you mix Charlie Sheen (of Mexican origin) and Ming Na (of Chinese origin), being the case that both are Americans?

If you mean white and mestizo, which is the ethnicity of most Mexicans, you have someone with 3/4 white traits and 1/4 Native American.

What specifically was Ludwig van Beethoven's ethnicity?

Although born in Germany, Beethoven's family originated from Flanders, which had been occupied by Spain for 200 years, with many Moors (North Africans). Contemporaries described the musical genius as having "thick, bristly coal-black hair," a "flat, thick nose," large mouth, and what is described as alternately a "ruddy" or "swarthy" complexion. In the middle of Teutonic Germany and Austria, he must have made a striking, memorable presence.

Beethoven's teacher, Haydn, was often called a "blackamoor." Alexander W. Thayer, one of the foremost authorities on Beethoven says, "Beethoven had even more of the Moor in his features than his master, 'Haydn.'" His features and family's Flanders heritage led him to be known as "the Black Spaniard."

(see http://www.mdcbowen.org/p2/sf/faq068.htm)

It's most likely he was mulatto, but DNA evidence was inconclusive. According to the Washington Post:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A25895-2000Oct17

The research team also said that future DNA analysis might answer lingering questions about Beethoven's ethnicity. As a young man, the dark-complexioned Beethoven sometimes was called "the Moor," and some historians have questioned whether he had African blood. Walsh said his analysis of the hair strands showed "no wrinkles or bends" typical among people of African descent, but that more tests may be conducted.

What is Jennifer Lawrence's ethnicity?

Jennifer Lawrence was born in Louisville, Kentucky. And she is one of the most convincing actresses that I know. Any part she plays, she will convince you that she is that person. I met her once at a gun show at the fair grounds in Louisville; she was checking out guns for her roll in the next Hunger Games movie. She is a very sweet young lady with manners and respect; especially for Veterans.

What is John Mayer's ethnicity?

If you listen to his song "belief" from his Continuum album it appears as if he doesn't subscribe to, or at least hold strongly to, any religion at all. In his song belief he sings in perfect postmodern fashion basically saying, "everyone believes something but no one is budging." He also at the end of the song reflects on the damage belief often does. I get a pluralist kind of vibe from this song. A kind of "let people believe whatever cause fighting for belief never does any good" kind of vibe. Makes me wonder what that "something missing" from his Heavier Things album may be. I would agree with Augustine when he said to Jesus, "he cannot be content unless he praises you, because you made us for yourself and our hearts find no rest until they rest in you." I pray all of our hearts will find rest.
