When asked about your nationality, how many have answered...?

Question

I AM AMERICAN!!!

PS. This applies to the US however if you are from another country and have a different nationality then how do you respond?

Answer 1

I sure have.

Answer 2

Not me, even though I was born here. I never think of that as a nationality, for some reason. I usually say black, irish, german, and indian... not American, because I'm not very proud of this country to this day.

Answer 3

Greek, English, and American.

<3,

Answer 4

Not me. Although I am an American, that is not my nationality. I reply I am Slovakian, German, Irish, and American Indian. I guess I do put American in there because I say American Indian.

Answer 5

Only if I was overseas. That answer is meaningful when away from the USA.

However, when at home, there's a cultural expectation to identify one's ancestry if known. IMHO, there's nothing wrong with that. Of course, I'm "American" but with the popularity of genealogy, most folks like to say where their forbears came from.

It can be a uniting factor--just like a shared hobby--and not a divisive one.

Answer 6

American of Puerto Rican descent.

Answer 7

Nationality would mean what were are made of....That is what I thought. I'm very proud to be a American.

Answer 8

Naturalized.

Answer 10

Answer 11

I am Vietnamese 75% and Chinese- American (25%)
