I picked English, German, Irish, and Norwegian on this poll, but would have picked Scottish, Welsh, and Swedish as well if you'd included those.

Mexican, German and Irish.

If I have kids, they're going to be too diverse and look weird.

Half Japanese, one quarter Norse, and one quarter Swede. 

Appearances wise, my Asian background stands out stronger.

German, Russian and Hungarian.  I think of myself as an adopted Chinese person too, but when I go to China, they don't believe it.

You havent included quite substantial groups like Ukrainian, Korean and Pacific Islanders.
Apart from that Romanian, Bulgarian and Danish are groups of some size.

English (88.5%), Scottish(6.25%), Welsh (6.25%). The percentages are guess estimates. The English % might be too high.

I voted English and French though I have my doubts.  Certainly those illustrious antecedents seem over-represented here - perhaps because it is an upper-middle class forum, or perhaps simply because they sound good.  I'm more often than not assumed to be a Jew.

Dutch, English, German, Irish, Native American, Swiss.

Guess:

1/8th Dutch
1/8th English
3/16th German
3/8th Irish
1/16th Native American
1/8th Swiss

There's probably more that I'm not aware of.

     English, German, & the mysterious Other. I go back & forth over whether Galician should be considered "other" or "Spanish". Tongue

Half French (continental), the rest is German, Welsh, and Amerindian. 

While I have documented American ancestry dating back to 1751, five of my great grandparent were not born in the US and my mother was raised in a household where English was not the first language.

Unlike practically everybody else who has voted 'French' or 'French Canadian', I actually am both of those two. I also voted 'Other' for Breton (Celtic).

Irish and Italian.

Kind of surprised that there aren't more Italian votes.

Also three votes for African/African American? Umm...

Well, if you're in New York, you might have a slightly biased impression of how common Italian ancestry is in the USA.  Wink
