Yes this is a "muh heritage" thread but why not. None of us come from a single ethnic group.
I'll start: Malagasy, it's the only African ethnic group I can say I come from with 100% certainty and they had a very interesting ethnogenesis.
In essence from linguistic, historic and archaeological evidence it seems as though Malayo-Polynesian peoples slowly migrated from Southeast Asia to South Asia and Arabia and finally going down to Southeast Africa. They brought Banana (domesticated by Melanesians) and revolutionized African agriculture and changed continental demographics forever (banana diversified in Uganda and though transmission spurred the Bantu Expansion.) They also influenced Swahili seafaring who to this day utilize nautical terms stemming from Indonesian languages.
These people mixed with Swahili men and sailed from the southeast bringing African cattle, crops and laws settling on the east coast and southwest.
Someone is English but England had many groups like on pic related before the English identity was formed.
Levi Nguyen
Well you might be related to them, are you part Malgache? Many Malagasy were sent to Peru and apparently one of your presidents had Malagasy ancestry.
Jose Rodriguez
how do you know what your ancestry is if at one point people simple didn't register it
Angel Diaz
No, I just think it's an interesting ethnic group and wanted to bump your thread, btw what president are you talking about?
Landon Hall
DNA. It's the only reason why I have Oceanian and Southeast Asian ancestry, the only reason why my cousin has a Polynesian motif haplogroup and because at least in the US Malagasy identity was maintained for sometime through oral traditions because Malagasy were rather proud of their ancestry.
Like my ethnic group is Black American but I have ancestral groups that formed the basis for the Black American ethnic identity to develop.

Bentley Walker
Luis Miguel Sánchez Cerro

Samuel Bell

Post about it. Post about the different groups of Greeks or the ancient Greek culture of your immigrant family's region.
Connor Gray
Gauls & Franks
William Ross
Idk what's the point about reading history or culture in general? In my case it's pure interest and fascination.
Jonathan Clark
what's the point of maintaining any kind of "ethnic identity" in a multicultural society akin to the United States of America
Andrew Wilson
Post about why you admire them or what interests you?
Dominic Sanders
Holy shit, it's true. Anyway I'm half Basque. I'm rh negative and all that.
Sebastian Hernandez
Mongol pride world wide

We aren't a true multicultural society.
The melting pot does not exist, we are a mixed salad our ingredients mix together but do not necessarily blend.
We still have home cultures that vary, music and traditions and foods that affirm who we are that are not necessarily the same. We are a nation of many nations that while eventually watering down remain to a certain degree at the very least based on geography, intentionality and economics.
Alexander White
WE WUZ MONGOLS N SHEIIT
Tyler Clark
Why are you surprised. You thought I was Wuzin'?
Muhammad Ali, Mae Jamison and Fredrick D Gregory also are of Malagasy descent.
Bentley Moore
in this case the only logical outcome is pandering to the most relevant groups and largely ignoring the minor ones
happened in the PLC, it was a mixed salad as well
Nicholas Jones
Can you explain
ANE, ASI and ENF? What's neolithic Eurasian, Mesolithic European and North Asian?
Sebastian Adams
It just seems so random, never knew about the connection with Madagascar, pretty cool.
