aint it weird?

I'm latin and I have german blood.

It's not that weird, actually, since there was a lot of German activity (even pre-WWII, yes) in South America.

Quote from: "Grakthis"
Louisville is very German.

Infact, we have a part of town known as Germantown.


WOOP! WOOP! I TOTALLY live there (but not actually) . . . I live on the OTHER side of Eastern Parkway - which is St. Joseph's - and we like to say we're from German(Paris)town so we can think we kick ass like most of 'em do, but . . . yeah. And that's literal. I don't think much of Germantown-ers, so the kick ass isn't figuratively speaking. Alright.

- Germantown - Germans/French
- Schnitzelburg (basically same thing, will explain if necessary) Germans
- St. Joseph - Germans/French/English
- Highlands - Irish
- Audubon Park - Those who think they can get away from German-ness :P Just kidding, I love all my SSM G's
- Parkway Village - French
- Camp Taylor - English/French

Kick-ass. Let me tell YOU. There's a ballpark/baseball incorporation :P called Germantown Baseball, Inc. but it's actually in Parkway Village. :X But, like I said, everyone wants to be a part of Germatown.

Also, a few people said some things that pissed me off or irritated me, but I will not say anything to give my fellow German/quarter Indians a bad name. So I will say nothing more on this subject ('less you want me to).

PS I'm mostly German . . . obviously.

PPS I love talking about this shit and also, I was looking at some of my baby pictures and I was the cutest fucking baby ever. And still am. :P I'll get some up when I can.

So its not usual here to find someone with german blood

Cristina has German blood (if I remember correctly), and so does a girl I went to school with, whose parents are both from PR. Therefore, three of the three Puerto Ricans I've talked to have German blood. I think that it may be more common than you think.

yes... i know i'm double posting, and that's bad... haha, but i need to respond to a couple more things!

Quote from: "tylor2000"
I'm either scandinavian or german.  My last name is how I know.  Those of you who know my last name can see it is most likely a german name.  People in the third reich had last names like mine.  That is how germanic my name is.  Though it could be swedish too, I guess.

tylor


my last name is VERY German, haha, it even means somethin in German. but i am only 1/8 german. My great grandpa came from there, and he's where i get the last name from. It even used to have Von attached to it, but we dropped it cause my name is already 10 letters and long enough.

I made that mistake too! I was showing my friend some pictures from my trip and he was like "who are those people?" and i said "those are some holland...ish people". He said "As a Dutch person, I take offense to that!".

Who knows how much german I am.  I just know I'm german from the name.  Or at least germanic.   When I was a kid I was given a choice of my last name and another one.  I was the only person in my immediate family with my last name.  The other one was irish.  Anyway, I like my name, but it is toooo long.  It is 9 letters long.  When I try to sign my name, I am always trying to rush through the letters, but I'm also trying to be neat as well.  I'm always trying to write it like very neat and proper but become impatient because it is so long.

My german part supposively came over to america around 1900- 1910 or so.  My mother's madien name is English.  That goes back to before American Revolutionary times.  *bayonets kev222*

I do have some German in me. Actually, I think quite a bit (quite a bit considering I'm American and I have everything in me)

Quote from: "sayyouwould"
No...I hate germans. I think a lot of jews do.


Don't blame you for thinking that, but I wouldn't go around saying that. It's just going to create more hate...
We don't need anymore intolerance in the world.
Hate the Germans then, not the Germans now...

please...jews have to be quiet about their religion because today they are still being hated on. No. I won't be quiet about it. They had no problem being loud about their hate for us and their love for hitler....so yeah, I still hate them...just as they probably hate us.
