ETHNIC research on SMASHING PUMPKINS members!
When I looked through old Pumpkins pictures with the help of Google I became aware of one of them being on a site called ETHNIC CELEBS.
So here are some statements about the tribes Billy, James and D'arcy come from; Jimmy wasn't under their radar yet... BILLY CORGAN Ethnicity: *Irish, Scottish, English (father) *Belgian-Flemish, Italian/Sicilian (mother) http://ethnicelebs.com/billy-corgan JAMES IHA Ethnicity: Japanese http://ethnicelebs.com/james-iha D'ARCY WRETZKY-BROWN Ethnicity: *Ashkenazi Jewish (father) *Scandinavian (mother) http://ethnicelebs.com/darcy-wretzky |

"See, you don't even know I'm half Belgian, you should be nice to me. I'm - I'm a fellow patriot..." http://www.splra.org/wiki/index.php?title=Tsp1996-04-06 "Thank you very much for coming to our rock concert. It's always, it's always good to come here, um, my uh grandfather and my great grandmother were from Belgium. So it's always nice to come here and remember them, so thank you." fairly certain he mentioned it again during this show: http://www.splra.org/wiki/index.php?title=Tsp2000-10-20 but it hasn't been transcribed yet. ram27? |

I always found it funny how a lot of americans have the need to talk and somehow brag about their ethnicity and their ancestors' ethnicity. "oh my great grandparents are from ireland" or "oh I'm 1/4 ukrainian and 1/4 danish".. who the fuck cares?

My grandma was Dutch and she was really no nonsense. She taught me that ethnicity doesn't matter.

i mean basically the entire us population immigrated there <= 300 years ago. it's more interesting/relevant/historic to look at ethnicity like that
