Whats your ethnicity?

[Billy-Klubb]

I'm white mostly, only partly native.
German, irish, and native american..

Would it be racist if I named my brewery Sausage Mcfirewater's? ???

no, but Kraut McFirewater's might be.

 

[Airborneguy]

Italian and Armenian, mostly Italian. Some "real" Italians would call us Sicilians though. Apparently there's a difference.

 

[Airplanedoc]

My dads side of the family is Scotch-Irish, Part of my Mom's side came on the Mayflower (so they were run out of England and Netherlands)

 

[mgortel]

Is this not a racist thread? And so what if all you see are Caucasians at the LBHS.....

Why would you say this is a racists thread....that is ridiculous. Gives us a break!

 

[codfather]

I'm white and English. But living in America

 

[whitehause]

Irish,Scottish,Native American.....I do make a brew called Indian Paleface Scalper, but I'm part Indian so it's ok

I'm just sitting here wondering how many mods are watching this thread

Yooper's been fingering a hair trigger on the ban hammer since this thread was conceived.

BTW, I'm 100% American to the core. I'll be buried here, with my wife and kids. I wouldn't claim any other ethnicity.

LMAO....love it...funny....

I guess i should have included Native American as a option.

Hispanic dude here, been into home brewing about a year or so, moved to Michigan and met a friend that was into it and I was hooked.

Cool, Welcome to the club and forum

that's what I usually tell people I am. born & raised right here.

 

[sudbuster]

I'm a descendant of the Scotch-Irish lot that invaded this fair land and mistreated the native inhabitants. That was before I was born. Not too far before I was born, but some...

 

[passedpawn]

Maybe dumb question, but what's the difference between Latino and Hispanic?

 

[45_70sharps]

Well in my situation only knowing of white homebrewers isn't a surprise.
First off, I don't know many other people who homebrew.
Second that's the majority of the people in my hometown and in the town where I go to a brew store.
The non whites are are mostly mexican or asian who are first generation in this country so they haven't adapted to American leisure activity that much. If they are brewing, I'm sure that many of them would be doing something similar to whatever they did at home, and that wouldn't involve a brew store.

I would bet that if the store I go to was in an area with similar economic area but with a different racial makeup, you would see about the same number of people but they wouldn't all look like me ( except I don't have a beard like the rest of the people in the homebrew store, even some of the women! ).

In brief If you come from a part of the former Spanish Empire or if you come from a other (non formerly ruled by Spain) part of the of the Caribbean/South/Central America.

You should google it, for a full explanation, its kind of complicated

Your latino if you are from Brazil or French Guiana or Haiti
Your Hispanic if you are from Cuba, Mexico, Argentina

 

[CatHead]

My dads side of the family is Scotch-Irish, Part of my Mom's side came on the Mayflower (so they were run out of England and Netherlands)

My wife traced my dad's side of the family back to the late 1600s when there was only a few thousand people in America. Maybe our ancestors knew each other.

 

[Airplanedoc]

They very well could have, we could even be some kind of distant relative.

 

[VegasJ]

Is this not a racist thread?

No. That word has been played out over the past 4 years.

Myself... A bit German, Ppolish, mostly Norwegian. Maybe that's where my love for my Elkhounds comes from!!

I guess if you have to ask, you're definitely neither.

Northern English here with a bit of Irish and Scottish. All but one of my grandparents were born over there, and the one who wasn't, his parents were. All still have heavy accents (edit: the ones who are still breathing, that is). My entire non-immediate family lives in the UK.

Seems the brewers in this area are a little more diverse, but then again this is one of the most diverse areas in the country. And it's still a predominantly white male game.

Northern English... Definitely the best kind of English

Did I mention my grandmother was a Wallace?

Yikes. Am I the only Asian here?

Well we made it a full 24 Hours without being locked so we must be off to a good start

double post

 

[Hammy71]

I'm American through and through. But my ancestory is half Irish and half German. Guess that explains the drinking.....

It also explains a great many other things...

Got Polish and Russian (Jewish) in me. :rockin: Might be part of the reason I enjoy the winters so much more than summers.

 

[Homercidal]

American Whit Male. 43. I'm guessing I'm middle of the road homebrewer.

My ancestry is high in German, bit of American Indian.

I have several jokes that could be told about all kinds of people, but I shall refrain since ethnic humour is frowned upon at this establishment.

Ok, just one:

Q: Why aren't there any Irish Homebrewers?
A: Because they are all too busy getting drunk on whiskey and fighting each other.
