Funniest thing I’ve heard in a while..How is it possible that there are so many anti-whites on this site
Could Ethni or Follers do some research in to Linda Hamilton’s ethnic background if that’s okay? I’ve read from a few sources that she has said she comes from a “very boring, white Anglo-Saxon family” & her mother is a Mayflower descendant. I would just be curious to see what could be found out about her background as she was brilliant in the Terminator movies. I hope you don’t mind me asking? Thanks :)
I created a page for her. However, I should say that, while it is often treated as such, being a Mayflower descendant is not exactly rare or unique. There must be millions and millions of Mayflower descendants in the U.S. today, maybe as many as something like 50 million if all of an individual’s ancestral lines are traced.
Thank-you Follers for doing that. I love Linda Hamilton, so really pleased she’s got her own page on here. I can imagine there are a lot of Americans who are descendants of Mayflower passengers, but wow 50 million people is a lot of people. Thanks again Follers! :)
Austrians are Germans. They speak German (more precisely Bavarian), and they considered themselves are Germans until the WWII. There are some Italian and Slavic minorities because of Austrian colonization in Central Europe, but nearly 95 % of Austrians are Germanic.
I figured that. I always thought most of them were German not living in Germany lol. Like many south Africans like in south Africa are dutch but just not living in the Netherlands.
No, Afrikaners are not just Dutch, they are Dutch, German and French Huguenot in equal measure, but they speak a Dutch dialect
Dude… I said many… not all…
@andrew:austrian are generally f german descent k but he looks like n red indian and the world is too small k and by your sarcastic tone i jus can say you have a very low self -esteem
