OlympiaStoica 0 #8 July 29, 2009 Romanian/Ukrainean mix ... born in Moldova and raised in Transylvania ... I suspect some Gypsy roots in my lineage, but my family won't admit to it (Roma people are not viewed very well in Europe). I have a Greek first name and Albanian last name ... and I'm often mistaken for a Brazilian (it's got to be the big arse). I was married to a Hungarian for 3 years and a Turk for 7 ... I'd say that I've been exposed to diversity ... hell, there's got to be a picture of me next to the word "diversity" in the dictionary .... O Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #11 July 29, 2009 I think you're going to be able to find just about everything represented in one way or another. That said, I think you're going to find the skydiving population is not representative of the world at large.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aren't you curious about where your family originally comes from? Nope, I already know a bunch of the places that they do come from but there is a lot more that I don't know and never will... off the top of my head I can list Scotland, England, Spain, Native American... But like I said, it isn't important. Why does my ancestors culture mean anything to me? It's not my culture. That is not to say that those cultures aren't interesting. But I have never cared where I came from, only where I am going. Maybe because I've never lived in one area (around the country) for more than a few years, and my ideas on family also tend to be different than most people also.

JohnRich 4 #18 July 29, 2009 We're diverse in more ways than just nationality. Education, profession, religion, politics, income, age, you name it - we're all different. And that's one of the great strengths of this sport - it brings together people from all walks of life, who can hang out and have fun together. Even turtles!
