St. Louis; middle-aged man of French descent, well educated and cultured, but has not been able to make a go of his original profession. Married a wonderful German gal in his youth, but had flings with a beautiful Italian lady, and also an African-American jazz singer with awesome talent.
Had children with all of them, very close to all his kids, and also likes all the kids his children bring home to meet their folks, even though all those kids have problems of their own. He tries to help everyone, but like any other parent, never has all the answers.
He is rather tired of his cousin, Chicago, having an attitude because Chicago has bigger shoulders, but shrugs it off, he knows Chicago is well-meaning.

Nice. That's pretty close I think. You left out Irish, though.

But very good analysis, especially with the relationship to Chicago thing. I've heard it said that St. Louis looks up to Chicago and KC looks up to STL.

Ya. He'd really sound like a player if he had kids with an Italian, a German, a Frenchwoman, and a black woman.

LOL, didnt want our STL to get a bad reputation! He has a hard enough time as it is!
Could it be an Irishman, kinda like a drinking buddy/sidekick?

Savannah,GA a middle-aged gentleman who is very genteel in his mannerisms when you're around him. He would literally pay for your dinner at a fancy restaurant, then make jokes behind your back about you. None of his kids are in public school or ever went to public school.

San Diego,CA a retired navy man who works as a computer techie and has a daughter married to a military black man. He is close to his biracial grandchildren.
