My father is Chinese and my mom is Scottish-Irish- Welsh-English and Chocktaw (sp?). However, my mom's family rarely communicates with us, and I really only know my mom and my grandma (who's now dead), so I'm not close to them at all. On the other hand, I know my dad's side quite well, including my aunts, uncles, great-aunts, great-uncles, first, second and third cousins, etc. My Chinese side has been by far the dominate, and when I speak of my family I only refer to them and not anybody on my mom's side besides her and my grandma (I never met my grandpa... he died in a plane accident before I was born). So I guess I really don't consider my white/Chocktaw side part of my family. Thus, I check Asian because I consider myself Chinese (which is the majority of my blood anyway). -- Chris.
