Just safer to be pre-emptive and make a request to lay aside crude jokes about one's ancestry.  Whatever makes you feel good. Doesn't hurt us that you pointed this out after all. Pointed out? I never implied so. Those women in my family history wasn't mail order brides at all, they were leaving Russia to various nations in Europe before landing a ship to America, by then, they were either married and assimilated into the local culture or still had a Russian name until married their husbands in America well before the mail order bride concept was in vogue. They became my ancestors without their Russian names, which is how I have a decent percentage of Russian blood while my family tree looks almost empty of Russian names for a coincidence. |

Same here. Aryans are all over the world a lot are in Iran (which literally means Land of the Aryans), India, Pakistan, etc You're correct, but we are talking about the notion that we are Caucasians of non Jewish descendent. Edit: Or shall I say, Indo-European Aryan! I think that's the official term. Indo-European even though my acenstors likely never even went to Europe |

If you want to think of it that way, yeah... I'm only 1/8 swiss through my mother's side (she's 1/4 swiss herself), more predominantly German than Swiss tho. I do have some German from my father's family as well. Irish, 1/8 equally from both sides. Russian and English from my father's side. English and German last names dominate the tree though, there's Russian women marrying into the family and left their maiden names behind. No Russian bride jokes please...  Don't worry. Only the trolls make that kind of joke And 99% of all CS:GO players |

Poor word choice on my behalf. I meant that you told us not to tell the jokes. My brain is fried today |
