St Louis Car 09 Posted November 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2009 As I get to know everyone here,I like to know some of your heritage background.Besides most of us live in the melting pot we call NYC,so there has to be some diversity here.My lineage is African American,Native American (Cherokee and Iroquot),Barbadian,Cuban,Irish and Jewish.But many times I was mistaken for other things.So express your heritage and pride.All Is welcome.

LRG Posted November 7, 2009 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2009 My dad's roots trace back to Cuba, Jamaica and way, way back into Europe. My mom's roots trace to Jamaica, although for most of her parent's lives, they lived in the U.S.The Americana side lies mostly within my mom as she was born here, while my dad wasn't.

SoSpectacular Posted November 7, 2009 Share #12 Posted November 7, 2009 My parents were born and raised in Panama, with a little mixed background from Nicaragua and Colombia, after then they immigrated to the United States in the 1980s, my father arriving first and my mother arriving soon after in 1989. A year later, I was born in what will be my home for many years to come Queens is the real "melting pot" of New York City, that's how the earned its nickname!

FamousNYLover Posted November 7, 2009 Share #15 Posted November 7, 2009 I am Japanese, born in Kyoto, historical capitol of city of Japan and raise in Osaka and Miyazaki. I don't speak Kyoto Dialect or Osaka Dailect. My mother was born in Osaka, and my grandmother was born in Miyazaki. My ex-father was born in Osaka while my unknown grandpa was born in Kyoto. I am mistaken for Chinese because of my tiny eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Glen Posted November 8, 2009 Share #16 Posted November 8, 2009 Back when I attended Brooklyn Tech I mistakenly called a Korean classmate Chinese I'm African-American. My grandparents came from down south. I have a few West Indian and African cousins but I'm American black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA 8th Avenue Posted November 8, 2009 Share #17 Posted November 8, 2009 My mother RIP was From Chile and her background was from Spain My father RIP was from Peru and his background was Inca indian tribe and French. No one believes me because of my height and features. I'm usually mistaken for Cuban, Colombian, or Puerto Rican but no biggie. There are not that many of us south americans from these two countries in NYC. Im proud to represent a born and raised Midtown Manhattan South American.

St Louis Car 09 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share #19 Posted November 8, 2009 Yes, that's what they call it due to the many neighborhoods it crosses Exactly.Some years back I think in an offering in the yellow pages called "The international express" where it gave info on the and the ethnic history behind the neighborhoods it passes.
