I'll be real: I'm as white as you can get. My ancestry, as far as I know, is England, Ireland, France, and the Netherlands. I have olive skin, and I've been mistaken for Greek in Greece, but as far as I know I have no ancestry other than those four nations. This is why I seek the counsel of people who have different heritage than I - and heritage to whom the modern and semi-modern world has not been kind. It would be irresponsible of me not to do so, and I'm grateful for the different perspectives my friends and fellow admins afford me.
