Thread: what's your nationality?

American and proud of it :D

More or less Australian though my dad was British.

That's right. But not everyone here would be in the same country as they were born in. I could go move to Japan, but that doesn't make me Japanese. It would make me a British person living in Japan.

Anyway, I'm English.

And not quite as proud of it.

You're confusing ethnicity with nationality. Both are different.

I'm am American, born in the Carolina of the South~ XP

My ancestry is French, French-Canadian, and English, and a slew of other tings. D=

However, I know my elementary school made the two appear to be the same. They gave a project to talk about your nationality when they meant ethnicity/ancestry. While I know we're not elementary school kids and stuff, I know my brain sometimes falls back on what was taught there, even if in this case it was wrong. :P

Though IMO, you can't really say it's where you were born, but more where you grew up. Since you could have been born in, say, Europe, but your parents then moved to the USA when you were, like, 2 or something. Would you honestly consider yourself British/European in that case?

Born in Finland, always lived in Finland. Mostly proud of it.

British/England..not really proud of it, but i do live there.

I'm Indian. And damn proud to be one of the few Indians on this site.

I'm Dutch and not really proud of it either. Funny thing is that most Dutch students I know want to live in England after their study, myself included. I guess the grass does always look greener on the other side xD

I actually only met students who want to study in other countries instead of living there. But I seriously don't get it. Unless you're a die-hard capitalist I don't see why people would want to move away from the Netherlands (unless it's a silly reason like the weather or the lack of mountains etc.).

I'm Norwegian, and will probably always live in Norway.

Turkish, for the most part.

I'm American, but I have 25% Italian in me. So I must be...
