I must ask since I have heard numerous people who live there call it different things, is it pronounced Ber-nards or Ber-nerds

I really can't tell what the difference is.
One is Ber-nards (ard as in aardvark) and Ber-nerds (erd as in nerds)

Oh. I misread it.

I just found out there is a very small fraction of me that is African.  It must have been completely overwhelmed by now because I'm pretty damn white, with blonde hair and blue eyes.  I do tan nicely though, haha.

It's ok a great majority of Americans of all races can say the same.

Well, true.  But I'm more referring to recent family history.  I think it was 5 generations back or so.

Which part of Africa?

I have no idea, but it isn't a white African ancestry if that's what you're getting at.  That's what I said and my grandmother made it VERY clear there was a black influence in our genealogy. Tongue  I'm not sure I buy it, but apparently her cousin spent years researching and compiling our family history.  I think it's funny either way, just because of what I look like, that there even could be black mixed in there.

No, I wasn't getting at anything. I was just wondering if your ancestors came from North Africa, south Africa, west or east.

Not done this for a while. Meh.

Gender: Male
Age: 20something
Race/ethnic composition: broadly speaking, Welsh and English. But, actually, it's much more complicated than that. And many surprisingly recent details are unknown.
Religion: Prod
Height: taller than I used to be
Weight: lighter than I used to be
Location: Bangor, Gwynedd
Party of Choice: In the U.K; Labour, Co-op Party. Generally I habitually support whatever the SI party is unless there's a very good reason not to do so. I might be a hack, but I'm an old fashioned hack, damn it.
Favorite President: LBJ
Favorite Sports team: Sunderland AFC
Favorite Book: impossible to answer that; there are too many.
Favorite Movies: probably Network. If made-for-telly stuff counts, then some of Dennis Potter's stuff, Pennies From Heaven especially. Of course, they made a "proper" film of that later, but I've never seen it.
Favorite Show: Yes Minister, maybe.
Favorite persons on Atlas: quite a few people. I'll be cliche-cryptic and say that They Know Who They Are. Which might not be true.
Least Favorite person on Atlas: dunno. changes with the seasons and so on, really.
Favorite color: certain shades of green, certain shades of red, interesting greys and earth colours too, oddly enough.
Your other interests: my work, reading, maps, walking, doodling, listening to music, etc
Do you live by yourself: Yes
Do you have any siblings? Yes. Two.
Are you married? No.
What year did you join Atlas? 2003
What are you listening to now? Shostakovich; Violin Concerto no. 2
Do you have any nieces, nephews? No.
Who's your favorite 2008 candidate from the 2 major parties? bleh. Prefer Obama to McCain, but would be lying if I said that I like either.
What city did you grow up in? I didn't. I spent most of my childhood in or near the Liberty of Great Wenlock. But now I live in a city with a population smaller than the town I was born in. lol.
Have you ever been attracted to someone of the same sex? Not as far as I know
If you could pick your own nationality, what nationality would you pick? I don't know.
Post the most recent picture of yourself here: No. I am informed that in the most recent photo of me, I look like a Columbian drug dealer. Which is a change from omgmuslimterrist, I guess.

Yep, a lot of the Arabs in my family (including me) have blue eyes. But I guess in my case you could make an argument for the Austrian side being a factor.
