An fyi: eastern european generally is code for Jewish. Since Jewish is NOT a race but a religion part of who one is is about the cities or ghettos (de facto not Nazi type ghettos or walled off) ghettos.

In any case what one is doesn't make who one is.

I disagree. Eastern European is code for......Eastern European. That includes the peoples of Russia, Latvia, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, etc. If you meant to say that Jewish is generally code for Eastern European, you might have a better case.

Having been a tour hostess through The Nationality Classrooms, I've learned to never paint such a wide brushstroke over any group of countries! I've seen people come close to fisticuffs over centuries-old borderlines!

FWIW, what I've been told (and have discovered through genealogy), my ethnic background is Scots, Irish, English, and German/Swiss. I expect that there could be some Iberian and/or Nordic, due to the Irish, but we'll see. I'm sure that there will be a surprise or two!
