    Ok after having a discussion on the "Last Names" thread about the campers ethnic backgrounds I decided to make thread about it.

    Anyway here are my guesses.

    DJ- Jamaican( West Indian if you want to be PC about it)

    Justin- Amerindian,Pacific Islander or Filipino

    Noah- Indian or Middle Eastern

    Duncan- Germanic

    Heather- Asian

    Eva- Slavic or Romanian

    Courtney- Brazilian

    Bridgette- French,Scandanavian or Germanic

    Izzy- Scottish or Irish

    Gwen- Welsh

    Harold- Ango-saxon

    Trent- Italian

    LeShawna- African.

    American? Australian? Canadian? Those aren't ethnicities, those countries have been around no more than 250 years!

    Gwen, Harold, Trent, Cody: Anglo

    Izzy: Celtic

    Noah: Greek / Jewish

    Beth, Ezekiel, Duncan: Polish / Saxon

    Justin: Filipino

    Heather, Katie: Asian / Spanish

    Courtney: Anglo-Saxon but tan.

    Bridgette, Sadie: Unknown European.

    My take on the ethnicities for the characters:

    Chris Maclean - Scottish

    Chef Hatchet - African

    Justin - possibly First Nations (though I've never actually seen any Native people with blue eyes like Justin has)

    Gwen - Scottish

    Trent - German

    Heather - unknown East Asian or part-East Asian (possibly Korean)

    Lindsay - Anglo-Saxon

    Bridgette - Anglo-Saxon

    Duncan - Anglo-Saxon

    Owen - possibly Scandinavian

    Geoff - Anglo-Saxon

    DJ - West Indian

    Leshawna - African

    Courtney - possibly part-South Asian or part-Filipino

    Eva - unknown Eastern European

    Izzy - Irish

    Katie - possibly First Nations

    Harold - Anglo-Saxon

    Ezekiel - Scottish

    Cody - Anglo-Saxon

    Beth - Anglo-Saxon

    Sadie - Anglo-Saxon

    Noah - Anglo-Saxon with a tan

    Tyler - Anglo-Saxon

    Justin must be one of those genetic rarities( because I have an uncle who has blue eyes and my family is Jamaican.), also I think Courtney could be mestizo(White/Amerindian) or mulattoe(European/African). There's also a chance that Heather could be Japanese.

    Or Courtney could just have a tan. Really, other than Leshawna and DJ its hard to make any sort of real guesses without more info given the heavily stylised art.

    But the reason I made this thread because I thought it would be fun, I also remember there was a thread like this on the Kim Possible forum.

    Hawaiian basiclly falls under the term Pacific Islander or Polynesian(sp?), though my guess was Samoan.

    Yeah I saw that it was mean of them to do that.
    On the cartoonnetwork site it says that Heather also has an evil little brother and also it says that DJ is Jamaican.

    Hmmm, interesting idea. For those not familiar with the term Metis people are of mixed European and North American aboriginal descent, with the European component most commonly French.

    So it's basically the French counterpart of the word Mestizo(Spanish) or Mestiço(Portuguese)?
