After the first few meets I was surprised to see that the TM3 club is a culturally diverse group. I was just curious what was everyone\'s cultural background?

I\'ll start, I don\'t have a background, my family was too poor to have our own, we had to borrow one from the Russian family down the hall. :P

Seriously, I\'m Filipino...just call me Phil Lapino! :D

Indian (There is only one India) with a pinch of Portuguese in the blood. Sometime in my ancestry some lucky Portuguese guy slipped in the ranks. Hence my last name is not an Indian one but a Portuguese/Indian one. Even though I was born in India I only speak English.

This is a great thread you created Blunty.

My background:

Mother: mixed with african and french

Father: trinidad but father his father was carib.

Hears something i found out I thought was cool. My aunt did a family tree reseach and found that princess Diana\'s great grand father was my moms great grandfather or uncle.. something like that from her dads side.

If you wonder why this so detailed well after not knowing what the hell I was when people asked me as a kid.. i did a bit of asking and researched so I can answer it properly. Many people didnt belive me when I said I was 100% Canadain lol. Even though I lived hear all my life.. the looks are sorta deceving. plus I get asked all the time so the plain black and white mixture is just not a satisfying answer.:p

So, watch out for Mickey, he may have connections;)

im pure-bred mennonite (no longer like the old colony mennos). ancestors emigrated from prussia to russia (Chortitza) in the late 1700's, then fled to canada between during the second world war.

my wife was the first non-mennonite to marry into our family line.

we have several really old diaries and journals that have chronicled the journeys. its pretty neat to read.

Mom: Jamaican
Dad: Canadian (White) removed from Scottish roots from the mid 1800s.

So, I guess I am mixed but usually think of myself of being a "light skinned Black guy who is half-White."

The TM3 profiles looks a lot like the demographics of the GTA.
Very cool.

I was trying to add something to my post, but I wanted to mention that my Jamaican roots were West African and not from East of South Asia. Simply, my Mom is Black but I wanted to give her background more of a connection to a region, rather than a colour. Some people are surprised to here that there are people, other than Black people, who are from Jamaica.

Russian, with KIND OF dual citizenship...

Right now my Russian passport is expired, so while I will be able to enter the country, they won't let me out unless I renew it. That or they'll conscript me into the army (They've been trying for 6 years now, despite multiple "To whom it may concern" notes I sent them from the educational institutions confirming that I am in fact studying and working here)

So yeah... I don't really want to give up my Russian citizenship, although I doubt I'll ever be going back there.
