A+ um spanish so am i considered other on the poll?
If you mean "pure" Spanish from Spain, then it's definitely Caucasian. If you have Amerindian or African blood, then others. From your picture you are Caucasian.
I'm O+. I don't really believe in these b*****its... but I never met Japanese speaking about that so far. I know it is popular, like on the Secret Id Card of the latest Jpop Idol, but still, people talking openly about that... no never met. Maybe I'm too old..
Did anybody catch the show on Japanese tv (I forgot which channel now) about the blood types (a couple days ago)? It was pretty interesting. They had the kids divided up and the different tests they gave them and how it was related to their blood types. I was curious other thoughts on the program for those that saw it.
Why does anyone really need to know though? Hospitals keep these records and will double check and triple check before any blood transfusion is ever done.
What if you are outside your country or out of reach of your hospital and you need a blood transfusion? Knowing it can save your life.
This makes me remember a fact of the WWII: The Waffen SS usually had a tattoo of their blood type oin the underside of their left arm. After the war the Allies managed to caught some of them because of that little fact.
I've heard that at some point this was a standard practice in special ops teams, though I'm not sure.

mixed Native American and Caucasian Irish. Guess that makes me a half mongoloid, and I agree, even though it isn't meant to be racist sounding, it still kind of irks me.
Yeah, its weird! my Japanese friend Ako was like "your O type!" and told me loads of things about it, i was like ok, thats 'omoshiroi, ne!'
Good to have an explanation!
but speaking of blood type, in the UK Im a nice person I donate blood to hospitals, maybe once every few months, but now they wont stop sending me letters and bothering me on the phone! They're vampires!
Lol! That's pretty ironic. I live in the US and my dad used to be in the army. He used to always give blood and stuff and now they won't leave him alone either. We've always called them vampires too! lol.
I have no clue what my blood type is, and I'm not sure how I can find out. I changed doctors a few years ago and my current one doesn't have my blood type written down in my records. Should probably try to find that out before I go to Japan, huh?
Btw, I saw a map on a web-site on blood type distribution. The B blood type is most common in Mongolia and Siberia. Korea also has a pretty high B blood ratio. However, the interesting part is that Japan's B blood ratio is not significantly high (it's even lower than China's). This demonstrates to the fact that modern Japanese are a mix between Siberian Mongoloids and South-East Asian Mongoloids (which include the Ainu).
The first time a Japanese person asked me what my blood type was I had no idea what he was on about because I didn't know about the blood type superstition and I thought it was a really strange question.
It's like, "Excuse me, what color are the insides of your shoes?"
