Just curious

[Bonochick]

I'm a caucasian, born and raised in the U.S...I've got some Swedish, French, and German in my roots.

 

[Foxxern]

Indian-American (I guess that's the right term, not to be confused with American Indians) but of course born and raised in the USA.

Wiggum: Oh, right, right, filthy I-talian-Americans!

aside from being born and raised in canada...

my whole area is pretty much german. my ancestors come mostly from germany and partly from russia.

as you can tell by almost all the town and village names where i live (the german language is almost as popular as english is here) we are dominantly german.

examples... i live in and around these places:

gnadenfeld, nubergthal, halbstadt, altona (also suburb of hamburg), rosenfeld, gretna, and sommerfeld. i believe you will find all of these places in germany as well.

its also come to my knowledge within the past year or so that several former german soldiers of ww2 also have settled around these parts. i want to meet one of them one day, curiousity sake, however ive heard they dont wish to talk about it with anyone, and that i can understand.

I hope people don't dig into this and make it controversial, I just wanna know the spread of nationalities here. I especially am interested in how many black people visit here because I've never met a U2 fan who was black or african/canadian/american.

I guess that no more than 5% of those who visit here are black. But I could be very wrong.

uhhhh, this thread is a little weird.

i am a white american. but i know fans of all different races- asian, middle eastern, hispanic, african-american, etc....

i think U2's music cuts across borders and appeals to all different races/nationalities.

 

[Basstrap]

I know, I hesitated more than once before posting this. I'm not promoting segregation or anything. just curious
