I am very poor. Therefore, of course, I bought more music last night. iTunes is just evil that way -- all about the immediate gratification, you know?

Has anyone here ever worked for Kaplan, doing tutoring or teaching or the like? Or for that matter ever had Kaplan classes or tutoring? I'm contemplating applying, but I want a bit more information first.

I have a friend whose mother is Ukranian and whose father is Iraqi. She was born in Germany but spoke nothing but Russian until age four. She identifies herself as German. This is probably the thinking behind the term "American." I don't see why there's need for a question--American is just as valid a label as Croat-Anglo-Irish (me), because if you go back far enoug, ain't nobody what they claim to be.

What about people who were adopted and don't have information about their parents' ancestral sources?

Well, I think if you summed up all the British Isles groups, they'd be a larger percentage than the Germans.

English (8.7) + Scottish (1.7) + Scotch-Irish (1.5) + Welsh (.6) = 12.5. Would you count Irish in there, too?

A friend of mine has, Emily. I can give him your e-mail address if you want, I'm sure he'd be glad to talk about it.

I'm a Czech-French-English-Swedish-German-American.

The diversity of the answers is all the need I have.

You're not going to get anything from me but Jamaican, but that's telling in and of itself, isn't it?

Would you count Irish in there, too?

Yeah, though you could call it either way.

And I don't really believe the Scottish or Scotch-Irish percentages are that small. Of course, that may be extrapolating too much from my home corner of the South.

Czech-Irish-German-English-Swiss-Native American here. My grandfather actually came over from Czechslovakia (as a wee child), so that's the one I tend to identify with more.
