Genetically we're pretty diverse, though. Even if it's just among similar ethnicities. I always thought I was just Irish (mom, born and raised there and her family lived there forever) and German (though my German ancestors immigrated to America at the end of the 19th century). Yet I'm a mix of Irish, Scottish, English, German and Welsh. I don't think there are many people on the planet today who are purely 100% one race or ethnicity. Hell, black may be a race, but there are a shit-ton of ethnicities in there. And how many people have had surprises when they get their DNA kit back from Ancestry?

European. You're European. There's not much difference between all of those ethnicities you mentioned, on a genetic level.

There are genetic markers that identify each though, but yeah, I'm white.
