Come on Folks!!!!

Take the above crap to the local hate-filled message boards to waste rhetoric if you wish but, it will not fly here and knock it off.

I am making a simple observation about our roots here and the contribution all cultures have made to the weaving of our fabric here.

I found it interesting that Astoria being heavily and historically Scandinavian influenced didn't seem to show up in promoting its heritage.

Though we still seem to be missing the point here, the Irish have an annual celebration here.

The English?

Celebrate being 3rd on the list of "Astoria Ancestries"?

Astoria also celebrates an annual Regatta with no real Boat Race(Compared to the original event which was for high speed derivatives of today's Unlimited Hydroplanes) or Challenge Trophy to the winner.

You're an idiot...and that site you're quoting from has no credible source for their inane statistics...only the US census would come closet to identifying racial origins of people and they dont question on "nationality" of origin. It's bunk stuff, McGee and you fell for it hook line and sinker.
