My family name is a Mandingo name, which suggests that my ancestors originally came from Mali. The people in my village speak a local patois that contains many Mandingo words, but is basically a weird English/Gola pidgin. I guess you could call me mixed race.

Ethnic identity doesn't seem to be as much of an issue in Liberia as it is in other African countries. We have nothing of the sort of tension that, say, the Hutu and Tutsi tribes experience in Rwanda and The Congo. And we've never had a racial war like the Arabs and Sudanese.
 
Eh, I can only remember being told I was of Italian, Scotch-Irish, and Russian. But I don't know much about my family since I never really researched my family's history.
