Nationality?

[Godwynn]

Nationality is irrelevant, I only have ethnic pride.

 

[_random_]

I consider myself American, because I was born here and USA#1.

Maybe a strange question, but if you're an American (I guess you are) how can you have ethnic pride (or what do you consider ethnic pride), as most Americans* stem from a lot of different ethnic backgrounds?
Nofi, just curious

Edit:
* Apart from recent immigrants and Native-Americans, ofcourse

My nationality is English, but I consider myself a European.

I'm racially pure.

 

[Cashie]

Australian of Irish/Scottish/English descent. My mother's family have some pretension to aristocracy (which is ironic, considering they're really a convict family) and being British. My elder sister was harbouring some fantasy that we were descended from one of Charles I's bastards (not a pedigree I'd want anyway).
I like to distance myself as much as possible from the British Empire anyway. I'm quite proud of one ancestor, who was court-martialed for deserting and joining the Indians.

I'm moving to China in about 3 weeks, too.

I can't do much back tracing. I know that my parents were born in Germany and raised as Germans and I know that my grreat grandparents where at least born as Germans, and if only by identity. The mother of my mother belonged to a small German community in Poland (the part of Poland which never actually was German, close to Warsaw).But I am pretty sure I have some roots that would not be considered German in the nowadays assumed traditional sense because I got really dark eyes and while not having darker skin in general, I get dark pretty fast when I enjoy the sun.

But I don't really care about appearance, or my genome or my roots. What I care is about my parents (being a direct part of what I am) and about what I feel I am. And regarding those factors, I am absolutely German. Though in the sense I like Germans to be, which may well result in me opposing what stereotypical is assumed to be German. I also know the longing for other cultures and could while loving my home country imagine to permanently move some place else (which in itself could be considered a fairly typical German trait I assume).

British Columbia. It's a province in western Canada which is not in eastern Europe like Poland is.

I'm half English, half Irish, but I always consider myself to be 100% English because I don't like the Irish :/

I'm American and glad to be an American. I plan to stay here. If I had to move, it would be to Canada.

Ancestry is German, French, Swedish and Bohemian. I guess I'm a mongrel.
