I used to just check White and that was it. Now I will mark other and list my predominant cultural heritage English and Norwegian. Do you think this is a mistake? Should I be broader and say European heritage? Should I just mark the White box?

Before you ask what you should do, you should decide what you're trying to accomplish. Your goal will determine your action.
That's a good question. I feel like when people talk about being white, they talk about like there's no culture behind it. So I started adding the more specific English and Norwegian bits to add a deeper meaning to white.
And it seems to me that a lot of the SJW types regard Europe as monoculture with everyone being the same. And a part of me feels pointing out different heritages is an attempt to pull away from that idea of Europe as a monoculture.
I'm also just proud of my English and Norwegian roots.
I mean the term White is pretty meaningless if you think about it. It's a term to describe the physical appearance of people with European ancestry but it doesn't actually tell you anything about the person besides their basic physical appearance. Same goes for Black or Asian. So it's a good thing to get specific.
Are you first gen? How long has your family been local?
My mom side has been here since before the revolution. My dad's side is a more recent arrival, he was the second generation born here
Yeah, im appalachian, grew up in appalachia, was told to write applachian on my sat's, and college admissions.
Come here to canada, I write "appalachian" next to cultural background for things like my healthcare.
But it means absolutely nothing to these retards. They have a very hard time comprehending how people can believe in different things, quite sad really.
So unless your country even recognizes the group your claiming to identify as, seems pointless in alot of circumstances.
Ive begged for years to get healthcare for the freon poisoning and now the hyper parathyroidism, im a proud person im only gonna beg a few times.
Im done now, and the people here just cant seem to comprehend what the hell im talking about.
Fucking pussies with no backbone in canada. Cant wait to go back home to america.
Im a direct descendant of the wing family that was crucial in things like the quaker movement and underground railroad. I have alot of pride for my lineage, though I have done nothing to prove my own worth.

The wing family has been here since the beginning but I would bet dollars to donuts no one here has ever heard of them.
You prolly also think were asian or something lmao, I can understand why the wing family always thought they were descended from vikings, we are big people.
But this is what retards are telling me I have to feel sorry for.
Its fucking near impossible for me to contemplate, my head nearly blows the fuck up.
Freedom is a hashtag to these people, they do not know, or even want to know what freedom really is.
Ironically enough im from daniels lineage, which isnt all that surprising. I wasnt surprised to find out he wasnt a quaker either, he just thought everyone deserved to be allowed to choose what they believe.
Fucking evil white people.
