Which Box do you tick...?

[Nicholas Ealing]

Basically, ze question I want to ask you fine gentlemen and gentlewomen is this: what nationality do you see yourselves as?

To me, this question is always quite interesting, especially amongst Americans: do you view yourselves as being American, or Anglo-American or German-American or...what? And English members, do you view yourselves as being English or British or...European? That kind of thing.

Plus, this question will be a great help to decide who will be the first to go in the ethnic cleansing of Issuing Orders. ;D

Awesocan.

I see myself as German-American, due to my strong German heritage on my father's side and I just feel German-American. If that makes any sense.

P.S. Mac, nice sig.

German-Irish-American

Nazi-English Irish-English.

For those who've seen pictures of me, I've got quite WHITE skin (like a sheet of paper) and was known as "Casper the friendly ghost" when I was much younger. So my pale skin is typically Irish hereditary, same with my temper and "Blue Beard" (got bit of a ginger beard if you look closely) and to top it off, a large majority of my background spawns from Ireland.

I'm proud to call myself English, not British, but technically I'm Irish-English...

[SGT. Brian Baker]

Italian-American/German-American

Apparently, my great great great great great great Grandparents came over from England on the Mayflower, and reason I say both Italian/German American is cause one side of my family came from Italy and the other side did come from Canada, however, did have a German last name.

So your basically 25% everything? Nice

[Nicholas Ealing]

Ah, interessant. Am I right in saying that the highest rate of ancestry in the States is German?

I did the maths (because I have no life) and discovered that I'm 38% Welsh, 3% Scottish, 3% Russian and 56% English.

But even though I'm more English than not, I think of myself as Welsh because I've lived here for most of my life, speak the language etc. But...seeing as pretty much no one outside of the UK have heard of us ( ), I usually refer to myself as Celtic.

Mainly because...more people hate the British than the Celts...

As for me, I think of myself as Welsh but as most people outside of the UK have never heard of us ( ), I usually refer to myself as Celtic rather than British.

Ah, cool. I've got a Vietnamese cousin in London. His family emigrated to London just after the war.
