I mean, there is a lot of Chinese in there and my mother is from Croatia, and there is a lot of Croatian and Eastern European in there. But there’s also Spanish, and Greek, and Italian, and German… and then on my dad’s side, there’s, like, Vietnamese, and Thai, and Indonesian, and Papua New Guinea is down there, and Samoan is down there.
