You have one nationality, as stated in your passport/identification papers.


I just counted, and 20 people who have posted on this thread (pretty much 33%) clearly do not know what a nationality is.

An additional 6-7 more either don't know, or thought the OP was asking for the races of their ancestors.

The latter part of this thread (from pages 5-7) have mostly been talks about how people don't have a clue what they're talking about.

So pretty much less than 50% of the people who have posted here know what a nationality is.

Just a correction to my statistics...darn insomnia, making me unclear.

"I just counted, and 20 people who have posted on this thread (pretty much 33%) clearly do not know what a nationality is."

20 posts, not people. Some of the posts were done by the same person (why they put two different thing or more I don't know...)

So 33% of all the posts have shown a lack of understanding, not people. Because the percentage for peoples is higher.

Nationality: American.

Ethnicity (which I think is what the OP meant): Cuban, Italian, and American.

I like how the first letter of those three words in that order make CIA.

I've always wondered that for the Men of Cornwall...


They're Cornish.

I refer to myself as English because I am not Scottish, Irish or Welsh, so I can't say I'm British. But everyone else not from England calls me British, so what the hells ^^


mmm.... well 'officially' we are British. But as you say I feel no affiliation with the other member states of the U.K.. Plus, as with most things in life, I go by football so I'm definently Engish there. Might change if the GB football team do well at the Olympics :P

They're Cornish.


Was expected.... Peculiar chaps those Cornish.

Anyway, if the Scots secede, would you still be called Great Britain, and hence British?

You have one nationality, as stated in your passport/identification papers. You can have multiple ancestry, but if your passport states you're American, you are American.


Ya I guess your right! xD

Ok, fine, but the answer isn't nearly as entertaining or informative.. everyone's nationality is listed on their profile page isn't it?

Mine would be American

who are you referring to superbob?

if you mean me, it's not racist at all. someone's nationality doesn't tell nearly the story that someone's ethnicity does and therefore isn't as entertaining. by entertaining i do not mean point and laugh entertaining. by entertaining i mean that it tells, albeit with very little detail, the story of one's family's travels. in that short telling you can find common ground and thus more entertainment. none of which is racist at all.

Not to mention that race and nationality aren't the same in the first place....
