Link: WIP.
This list includes people who descend from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Germany, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and maybe Switzerland(?), unless stated otherwise (ex. Italian but born in Switzerland) Let me know if I've made any mistakes since I'm an ignorant American. German/Swiss/10 other things-American pride! This list will not include any European-owned overseas territories such as Greenland (Denmark), and WILL include diaspora such as Afrikaaners (NL). Greenlanders who happen to be of Dutch/Germanic descent, Canadians and USians of Germanic descent, etc.
Shows/movies that have lesbian, bi, gay, and/or trans+ subtext, characters, storylines, etc. for shows/movies that don’t revolve around it i added just the episodes/seasons where it does.

This list includes people who descend from Albania, Greece, and Kosovo (unless they identify with a non-Balkan ethnic group). Other Balkan peoples are included in other lists and I may forget to include them here too because borders are complicated, let me know if I mess up at all. Peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia are included in the Slavic list. Aromanians and Romanians are included in the Latin/Romance list. People of Cyprus may be included if they're of Greek-Cypriot, etc descent.
This list was previously a "Europeans (Other)" list but other groups have since gotten their own lists, like Finnic-Ugric/Uralic peoples (https://trakt.tv/lists/20538911) and Caucasian peoples (https://trakt.tv/lists/20539543).

This list includes people who descend from Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine, unless stated otherwise (ex. German but born in Poland). I'll also include Baltic peoples that descend from Latvia and Lithuania since they're closely related to Slavic peoples, but not Estonians since they're more closely related to Finno-Ugric peoples and will therefore be placed in that list. Europe ethnicities are complicated, let me know if I've made any mistakes since I'm an ignorant American. Polish-American pride! This list will not include any European-owned overseas territories, and WILL include Slavic diaspora such as X-Americans, etc.
This list includes people who descend from Andorra, Corsica, France, Italy, Moldova, Monaco, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Sardinia, Spain, and Vatican City, unless stated otherwise (ex. Irish but born in France). Maybe Gibraltar and Malta too but not sure, lol, Europe ethnicities are complicated, let me know if I've made any mistakes since I'm an ignorant American. French-American pride! This list will not include any European-owned overseas territories, such as French Polynesia (...France), and WILL include L/R diaspora such as French-Canadians/Quebecois, Italian Argentines, etc. Regular "mestizo" Latin-Americans have their own list.

This list includes people who descend from Ireland and also the British Isles (AKA Channel Islands/England/Isle of Man/North Ireland/Scotland/Wales), unless stated otherwise (ex. Polish but born in Ireland). I was tempted to put "Ireland and friends" in the title but I think we all know that Ireland wouldn't want to be friends with a country with a long history of, well... yeah.
This list previously contained Germanic peoples in general but they have been separated into their own list (https://trakt.tv/lists/11659596) since a lot of white citizens of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States descend from this particular archipelago. Yay, colonialism?
TV series (non-animated) that I have seen.
Films and series that I like/don't mind re-watching.
Link: https://trakt.tv/lists/10660071
Includes Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Maybe Afghanistan and Maldives too but not sure? Just India itself is very diverse so I'm not 100% sure how to categorize people from this subcontinent, lol, please educate me and correct any mistakes I make.
Excludes Roma/Romani people ("gypsies") who go in the [Indigenous/]Minority European list since they predominately live in Europe.
In an attempt to sort my ethnicity/race lists better, I've created separate lists for people of Chinese, Filipino/Philippine, Japanese, and Korean descent, all listed below. I also have less specific lists for the Middle East/North Africa (and one for Jewish people) South Asia (Indian subcontinent), Southeast Asia (excluding PH), and indigenous/minority Asians (ex. Altai).
I know that some Asian countries/regions are incredibly diverse, but hopefully this decision is more helpful than having a catch-all list for everybody. Let me know if I've made any mistakes!
I'm always open to recommendations! See https://trakt.tv/users/bangiras/lists/read-me for ways to contact me if you don't have a Trakt.TV account.

Does not include every single series with romance, relationships must be a BIG part of the plot. How I Met Your Mother is about how the main character met his childrens' mother and his dating life, but series about high school life (and hormones!!!) would not be included by default. Don't expect very many Hallmark Channel-esque entries here because I've deluded myself into thinking that I don't have low standards. WIP.

Excludes indigenous/minority people such as Tibetans, indigenous Taiwanese, etc., who go in the Indigenous Asians list, unless they're mixed and qualify for both lists.

My TV Shows I have Dropped...
I may have dropped shows for multiple reasons....
A show jumped shark, a character I liked left and a show just was not the same, bad decisions ruined a show, I just lost interest, I tried watching but it was just not for me, became stale, didn't like where a show was headed etc.
Some of these shows I may start watching again, others I will not.
As far as ratings go, I rate my dropped series before a series starts to go bad. An example is I rated NCIS an 8 because I really enjoyed it up to season 13 when I dropped it. If I were to continue to watch it after I lost interest my score would be lower because after season 13 I would not like it as much. Which is also why Criminal Minds is rated a 6 because I watched pretty much all of it and only enjoyed the first
like 8 seasons, the rest are bad.

Includes immigrants immigrating from any country, to any country. Does not include characters like Ash Ketchum traveling the world to catch 'em all rather than settling down somewhere. WIP.
