this girl in my class said im all white and it pisses me off because my mother is half lebanese half german and my father is irish and native american(mohawk)
Because of the Native American, you're technically not fully "white." The Lebanese might also help with that some. If you don't really look it, though, that might be why she said that you're "all white." You are multi-ethnic, though, since your heritage comes from different ethnic cultures.
Most people are multiracial, at least a little. But people don't know where your family comes from. German and Irish descendants are both rather, well, white. The Native American and Lebanese probably aren't enough to fully overcome that, so you probably look like a tan "white" person. It's the way it goes.
Most people are these days. Even people who are deemed "white" generally have roots from various countries throughout Europe. Look at Barack Obama, his father was of Luo ancestry, and his mother was a mix of English, Irish, Dutch, German, Scottish, and French ancestry.
There are three major racial divisions (based on craniofacial differentiations): caucasian, black, asian (these are modernized terms of the old -- and now offensive -- classification terms). Generally, all of the nationalities you have listed do fall under one race type: caucasian. Exceptions are possible, but not likely. However, you are definitely multi-ethnic.
Why be pissed off at what some girl says? It doesn't matter. You are who you are. If it makes you feel better to consider yourself multiracial, then go for it.
