The world is slowly becoming a melting pot. I hear there are only 5000 pure Hawaians left. In 500 years, when Serenity sails across the skies a suppect there will be no pure ethnic groups. Just a few people who hold on to old traditions.
Oh yes; and terriers.

When did anyone last see a Welshman in Sci-Fi...and Tom Jones in Mars Attacks don't count!

It is, in fact. An Irish last name, at this point.
From http://www.ancestry.com:
Hoban
Irish (Mayo): Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó hÚbáin ‘descendant of Úbán’, a personal name of unknown origin.
And he looks pretty Irish, too!
(Washburne is decidedly English, though. As is 'Frye' for those who think Kaylee is Irish as well. 'Kayley' comes up as both English and Irish, so it could go either way.)

but surely the entire population of america is irish
at least that's what I've heard...--------------------------------------
