I am part Irish, English, Scottish, German and Russian. I guess I am a colossial mut. Being Michael Masterson I get asked, “Are you related to Bat Masterson?” And the answer is yes, he is in the mix. And how about all of you? What is your descent?

I’m Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English, French, Dutch, German, Cherokee, and possibly some other Indian tribes. In short, I’m a product of the American melting pot, famed in song and legend.

Here’s a question: When do I get to start saying I’m of American descent? If you give “American” as an answer it is percieved as vague. Why? Sure, melting pot, blah blah, and everything, but why doesn’t it count to just say “American”. When will that be an acceptable answer when discussing heritage? [/tangent]
