Nationality?

[slip79]

I'm a Kiwi. That's a New Zealander for all you who don't know.
Ancestors by way of Australia, Denmark, England and Ireland I think. The Aussie ones were kiwi first then aussie then kiwi then aussie now kiwi again.

 

[Maniacal]

Canadian!!!

 

[Evil Tyrant]

I'm American, family history extends as far as my great grandparents, even then little is known about them. The contributing nationalities for my family are, Czech, German, Norwegian, and Irish. The family name is from the Czech part of the family. That is all I really know for certain.

If I had to choose another nationality I would chose English, I like Russian culture but I probably wouldn't enjoy living there(unless I was made Tsar ).

 

[Global Nexus]

I hold ancestry mostly in Europe, as far as I'm aware. England, Ireland, Germany -- possibly a country in Scandinavia, as well, though I'm unaware as to which. As for my nationality? Terran. Earthling. Whatever the heck you'd like to call it -- my "nation" is the Earth, not some partition of it. I currently reside in the USA, but have every intention of migrating to Canada, as well. Their climate's not quite as good, but I like their society rather more and they get all the video games the US does.

 

[The Yankee]

American, but with descent from Poland (largest part0, Russia, perhaps Ukraine, and maybe back to England or that area...I mean, my last name had to come from somewhere.

 

[Der Sensenmann]

I'm a born Aussie citizen, English, Scots, Italian, Hungarian background. Don't fit in here and felt much more at home in Romania, so I'm gonna move there when possible.

 

[Bugfatty300]

American obviously.

I have no idea what my European heritage is but then again, I don't really care. So I consider "American" my heritage and culture.

 

[Atlas14]

American. My ancestry extends mostly, almost 90% to Germany and I have alot of Swedish ancestry as well.

 

[sysyphus]

Born and raised in Canada, therefore I am a Canadian. Dad is from Germany, mum was born here to English parents (I've traced her line back to the 15th century, all in Devon).

While I consider my English and German roots as a significant part of me and who I am, I see myself basically as a Canadian. My British in-laws see me as annoyingly Canadian.

I think that sometime in my life I will uproot and live some time in the Mother Country and/or Der Vaderland, but Canada will always be "home".

 

[I am the Future]

I am about as American as you get.

 

[Cuivienen]

I would contest that

Ethnically, I'm British (English and Scottish) with a splash of Native American a few generations back.

Of course, since all of my family has lived in the United States since before the Revolutionary War (some even in Jamestown and Plymouth), I suppose I could be considered ethnically American, and I'm certainly an American national.



On an aside, I'm one of three students of British heritage at my school. One of the other two is my brother. Around here, anyway, the original English settlers are all but gone; it's rather amazing that English has managed to stay the national language when the ethnically-British population is so small (with pluralities only in Utah and New Hampshire, IIRC).

 

[Gr3yL3gion]

I'm a Malaysian with dutch, portuguese and chinese descent, but I can't relate that much to dutch and portuguese anymore. So if I have to move to somewhere else, I'll say China, Taiwan or Singapore.

 

[Alpine Trooper]

I am second generation Canadian.

Parents are all Canadian

Grandparents are Scottish, Irish, Canadian, and American.

 

[Neonanocyborgasm]

First off what nationality do you consider yourself, and if you had move to another country, considering all the different cultures and communities in which you could choose, which one would you join?
I consider myself to be an American, but I admire the candor and wisdom of the Dutch and I think I would move to Belgium.

.

I am an American of Russian descent. I wouldn't want to join some other culture. I can admire others without wanting to be them. Besides, America is the greatest country in the world.

 

[ummmm........]

I'm an American, and I'd want to move to the country most like my own, whichever that would be. Probably Australia?

 

[Fetus4188]

I'm an American and I wouldn't want to move anywhere else. Although if I had to I would choose New Zealand or Australia, I hear the kiwis play football (the real stuff).

 

[Insane_Panda]

Ethnically I'm Vietnamese.

However, nationality wise I'm a born-and-raised American. My family (extended aswell) has been in this country since Saigon fell to the Vietcong in 1975.

I love this country, but if I had to move anywhere I'd move to either France or England.

 

[Babbler]

Canadian, Anglophone Quebecer, currently of Longueuil. But nationality is unimportant for me.

My father is from Jamaica (but is white), left at 14 because it gained independence, and my grandmother ... didn't really like the blacks. Or the French. Which is ironic, since she was born in Haiti, lived in Jamaica, and died in Quebec. (Of course, I only inferring this from second hand information, since I only knew as a sickly old woman in a hospital.) His roots were throughly British. There is a college in England with our last name; named after our (presumed) ancestor. Furthermore, it is a compound name, both names being German.

My mother grew up in a little village in the barrios of Luzon (the Philippines), where, as far as I know, generations of her ancestors lived. She got a degree in teaching before moving to Singapore, Hong Kong and Winnipeg before coming to Quebec.

I suppose it is a kind of compromise language. And, many learned English to be as American as possible. If not the direct immigrants, then their children, whether they were born in country or at the home country.

But I lie the diversity...just wish the family still had some of the good stuff they enjoyed in Poland way before everyone decided it would be an awesome battlefield for a couple centuries. Meh, it'd go to the family still in Poland, those that didn't choose or could get away from Eastern Europe after the war.

Oh right...if I had to move to another country...probably Canada...Vancouver perhaps. If language wasn't a problem, maybe in Eastern Europe somewhere, try to live the good life and train myself to be a person advancing the place I'm living in.

 

[Ultima Dragoon]

*whistles* This is an old thread!

Btw, I'm Australian, with Scottish and German heritage.
