Am I right?

Question

I was born in South Africa and lived there for pretty much the first 15 yrs of my life except from a few mnths here and there in England. My parents are both British and I have a British passport. But I call myself South African. My family say that I'm british, but surely home is where the heart is? And before anyone gets on their high horse I'm not slagging England! It's a great place too!

Answer 1

u r a gorgeous South African.


I'm only guessing on the gorgeous bit!!

Answer 2

Anyone that is born in America is considered American, but it seems like in order to be South African, you must be black. A double standard, if you will. If you were born in S. Africa, then I would consider you South African. Your heritage is British, but you are South African.

Answer 3

ur a british person from south africa ur not south african i understand thats where ur where born and raised and dats where ur heart is but it doesnt change ur nationality

Answer 4

I do think you are a British citizen born on foreign soil. There is nothing wrong with claiming both.

Answer 5

the law says your british now,but go with your heart

Answer 6

Not that I'm prejudiced in any way......but..
There are people that have been born in America that call themselves, African-American, or Asian-American, etc...
Wouldn't it be correct, then, to call yourself British-African or African-English or something to that effect? Shoot, I must be European-American or Appalachain-American.........hmmmmmm.

Answer 7

Home is where ever you make... it is where the heart is settled!

Answer 8

YOU ARE RIGHT I LIKE SOUTH AFRICA
YOU ARE LUCKY TO BE BOTH

Answer 9

i agree with you, why dont you move back if that is where your heart is!

Answer 10

you're both
