Wikipedia has users from all over the world, so naturally there are many races represented by those users.

Racial ethnicity

Aryan

African

  • Rednblu Though my ancestors left Africa over 50,000 years ago and spent nearly all the time since then walking to and fro over the Black Forest of Germany, I stand with my cousins who left on slave ships only 300 years ago against their will, and now I swear before you: "I am an African American," and will no longer let law and God make a difference between us.
  • Vicent I moved to the U.S. 10 years ago and am now a high school senior soon leaving for college.

(Native) American (Indian)

Android

Anything superhuman is OK

  • Sabbut - well, not really... I'm just a modest Ultra-Humanoid. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Asian

Bovine (this really ought to be MOOOOved to the meta)

Canine (likes to pant and howl)

Divine (omnipresent and therefore transparent race)

  • Dante Alighieri, finally, my race got listed!
  • Dyss Being the most inteligent and sophisticated human in history I now declare myself Divine. You may woship me
  • GrazingshipIV - Finally a listing for me, somehow I knew this page would be created hmmm ;)
  • Todd W. Smith - To put an end to all of the religious warring and fighting around the world, I propose a simple solution: start worshipping me as God. But, daily, people just call me BLASPHEMOUS and come after me with their torches and crappy fires... those silly people, ho ho ho. Frightening stuff, there.
  • Xeresblue

Dwarf

Elf

European

  • Halibutt - a Central European, to be precise.
  • Leonariso from EU (Cyprus).

European American, White, or Caucasian

  • Branddobbe (English, German) — although I think the term "Caucasian" is stupid. I'm not from the Caucasus. Virtually all my heritage is northern European. The farthest south we get is France, and that was centuries ago.

  • Mark Ryan A lovely blend of English, Scottish and Irish ancestry. I like to highlight the Irish, because it's my surname. :)
  • Mirv . . . mixed. Mainly Anglo-Saxon, Scottish, and Polish, with varying amounts of Norman French, (mostly Bavarian) German, Jewish, Channel Islander, and who knows what else.
  • Optim (Greek)
  • Sashal I'm Saxon, Norwegian, Welsh, and possibly Irish on my mother's side; Saxon and Polish on my father's.
  • Sticky2004, Three quarters English and quarter Scottish
  • Todd W. Smith - I am Scotch-Irish-German. Frightening stuff, there. What more can I say? Oh, and, thank God, err... me, that I didn't sign here under 'Human with a pogo stick', which I was going to, but I didn't want to look like some sort of FREAK.. Oh, and whenever I step on a pogo stick, it explodes and the freefalling parts aim for the nearest human eyeballs. Frightening stuff, there.
  • Vroman pale geek
  • Andrevan - Eastern European Jewish heritage, born in the United States.
  • Slowking Man - Native United States resident. By ancestry, German, Swedish, Finnish, British, and a little French and Irish.

Vulpine (a real foxy bunch)

Undeclared

  • hoshie: Race Does NOT Matter!
  • Imma, simply, because I'm of many races and there's no "mixed" or "multi-ethnic/racial" category.
  • Magadan Categorizing people by race is very, very out of fashion in my country (Germany) since 1945.
  • Mbecker, I think that categorizing oneself by race is as bad as categorizing oneself by religion. It shouldn't matter (even though I don't care if people know what race I am).
  • utcursch
  • zeno, well, categorizing oneself by "race" is worse, as you may (more or less) freely choose your religion. Hm, well, you can somewhat choose your race, too ;-)

Don't know

  • Mikez I don't know what this 'race' is called, but it consists of all thinking, self-aware beings whithin the observable universe.
  • TakuyaMurata What is my race?
  • Aalahazrat People from most races reject me as one of them. So Here I am ... Confused and Dejected.

All of the Above

Multiracial
