DS is 3/8 swedish, 1/8 norweigen, 1/4 british 1/4 Mixed race (a mix of chinese, indian, pakistani, french, english, african (unknown where) and probably others as well).

Not the norm where we live, but no one cares either way tbh. Although a lot of the locals do think I'm from Oz so maybe they just think I've got a really good tan. Grin
