I mean, there are certainly similarities between the southern Europeans and people of the Levant, but I wouldn't go as far as saying meds aren't white. They certainly are within the same racial umbrella as other Europeans even if they are closer to the edges. For that matter I'd consider most Persians or Georgians White as well. Meds aren't Germanic sure but they are much much closer to white than Turks or Arabs.

I force myself to read anymore. Maybe it’s in my blood, but I don’t know where it’s from really. I do read but its brutal force. It all seems like either lies, delusions, smug rich people in a human centiped of other smug rich people obsessed with their own class effulgence, rewriting the past the shape the future, or hack pastiche. I reread old stuff like Marlowe, or Machen, or whatever occasionally for a kind of sad nostalgia. But books seem progressively more and more... useless. Catalogs of delusions past and present and brilliant futures that will never come for the ideological police state or apocalypse we’re rushing for.

I'm the definition of a deracinated amerimutt. If I didn't have blue eyes I'd assume I was mixed. My last name is just two English words, but it's the kind of thing that was probably either given to the sharecroppers or something they switched it to when they were hiding from the cops and/or the IRS.
I've always had a gaping hole where a person's cultural identity should be, and always wondered what it must be like to have one. What's it like to have a people? A language and traditions and foods and holidays that are yours and always have been? I wish I could know.

I'm mainly English and Scottish and I read mainly English authors, not out of some blood mythos but because it's what I like. I don't think I get more out of Shakespeare because of my genes. As for connecting with "muh ancestors" I feel more connection with my more recent ones, who were pioneers in the area I live. I do enjoy reading books by people who share a similar background, though. It's narcissism for sure but that won't stop me.

Nah, though I agree that would be cool.

What I know of my ancestry comes from my dad who researched the matter extensively. It seems an ancestor of ours traveled from the island of Jersey to Canada to join the Acadian colony. Later, the Acadians got conquered by the British for refusing to swear oaths to the British crown. Many of my distant relatives got exiled to Louisiana where they would later fight for the South in the American Civil War. Those I descend from fled to Gaspésie which is a farflung peninsula in what we now call Quebec. Amazingly, a few in this region still speak Jersey Norman today. My grandfather would eventually move from Gaspésie to Northern Ontario for work. I come into the picture not long after.
