My step-grandfather's father is listed in various documents as being from Ruthenia, Carpathia, Galicia, or Russia. I think that the first three make it pretty likely that he was from what is now Ukraine? It does remind me why I never liked central Europe as a territory when playing Risk-- so hard to defend.
One of my students was born in Mexico and his mom is from Mexico. He looks like a blond California surfer dude and his name doesn't suggest that he is Hispanic. He's really close to his family in Mexico, and it drives him a little nuts that people mostly don't believe that he's Mexican-American.
