I got a letter today asking me this question and i find this quite offensive! My nationlity is English, and I always state "English and proud" because thats what I am. I'm not British, British is a name for a collection of Islands but no specific place, because each bit of island has its own identity, which is gradually being pulled away from us!. Is it only The Irish who are allowed to state there nationality, why not call them white european? Because there not, there Irish! Also on this form under Asian or Asian British it has Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi!! Wheres the box for Iraqi which was once apart of the British empire, Omani, Yemenite, Jordanian, Syrian.
I think everyman and women has the basic right to show there own respective nationality... and to be proud whether its Northern Irish or Burmese, Its one thing were all born with and why should we be grouped with people who aren't what we are???
