I'm white, mostly. My mother escaped from Indonesia to the Netherlands when she was about four years old. Her older sister died in a Japanese camp where my grandmother was held.
My father's side of the family is from Germany and Belgium, my grandparents already lived in the Netherlands. My grandfather was taken and spend most of the 2nd ww in a German work camp.
Technically I'm a second generation immigrant, well first now again since I moved to Canada in 2002.

So white guilt? What for? I guess I'm a filthy immigrant, moving to Canada while I was in no danger in the Netherlands :)

Are you trying to make me feel sorry for you? My father had to escape iran during the revolution, and when he came here, was treated like shit. It was like that for almost 10 years. 

So uh ... technically you're Persian?
