Sometimes I sprinkle my speech with Korean words, if I'm speaking with other Koreans. I've never worn traditional Korean dress, though, because I don't own any of those types of clothes. The only exception was when I was a baby, and my parents dressed me up for a photograph. I actually think it would be fun, though.

Anyone else?

My ethnicity is White Utah Mormon.

Eating Wonder Bread and Jell-O does not make me happier, no matter how ethnic the presentation. Butter & bologna on the bread, or shredded carrots in the gelatin, even. [Frown]

Also, no joy from pronouncing "sale" the same as "sell", or acting like PF Chang's is the pinnacle of Asian cuisine (which is admittedly a novel ethnic mutation).

Sure.
Every once in a while, I like going camping, throwing around a Frisbee, and picking my own fruit like white people do. I find it kind of relaxing in a primitive, "getting back to nature" kind-of way.

About once a month I spend way too much money on scratchers, ignore my kids and do some dope. The traditions of white trash are in jeopardy here in America so I try to pay homage to my bleach blonde roots when I can.

I find it important to occasionally paint my face with blue woad and encourage my young nieces and nephews to learn how to fight with a broadsword. I find this helps me connect with my ancestors.

Sometimes, I come home from work, kick off my shoes, and pull a brutal acquisition of my neighbor's land for the Großdeutsches Reich. In this way I keep in touch with my ancestors.

[Laugh] fried chicken and watermelon is always good. And using slang to be ironic is funny.
