Ethnicity

So, everyone knows about asians and blacks and white and crap. But how does one become of that ethnicity? Are you English if born in England even though you're completely black? What if I was to start my own ethicity, how does that work? Is ethnicity a result of evolution, which also means that it ties if Darwin's theory?

you're confusing ethnicity and culture...

Yes, you're English. Ethnicity has nothing to do with nationality.

also, as to your question how does one become English (for example), you move to the country, apply for citizenship and there you have it, a citizen of the old Empire.

Do u mean ethnicity like Batak..... like Batak Karo, or Batak Toba (Indonesian ethnicity), Chinese (Tiong Hoa???), or what??? I think from what u said it is about nationality....
If it is like I thought u just need to marry Batak and can become Batak through some procedure.... If it is nationality I think u should already know....
edit: If u want to make new ethnic, u first have to make u`r own culture.... and u have to lost u`r own original culture.... Well, I think all great country has starting to lose their culture....

By all means no. You are not of English nationality, but of English (or, to be exact British) citizenship. Those two are different, for example- I'm of German nationality, but I have only the Polish citizenship, the same thing applies to Basques in northern Spain- they all have Spanish or citizenship, yet they'd beat the shit out of you if you called them Spanish.

You are American, Canadian, Australian or something like that, I take it? You know, in Europe (let's put the new European Union way of thinking aside) most of the people don't recognize American or Canadian to be a nationality at all.

what would we be considered then? Would I be British/French/Irish?(as a half Irish half French Canadian).

You would be considered to be of a mixed English (or Scottish, Welsh or Cornish, as British is not a 'natural' nationality), Irish and French/Quebecois nationality.

ahh, not Quebecois... Ottawa, English side, with french ancestry... I should have been more specific.

Oh, I see. Well, it can be specified deeper (though I'm not sure how would it correctly sound in English), in fact, a deep nationality specification is somewhat very popular amongst the 'euro-sceptics' (people who rightly think that EU sucks), for instance I'd say I'm of German (main nationality) Low German (that would be the sub-main nationality) and Hesse-Pomeranian-Westprussian nationality.

Sorry to appear antagonistic, but I have never met, conversed or corresponded with anyone from Europe who didn't recognize U.S.-American or Canadian as a nationality.




Personally, I've only ever seen that sort of genealogic interest in Americans and Thuleans before.

That's all because young people are generally stupid.
Well, the second thing is, I'm a noble and most of my friends either are noble as well or recognize nobles as superior to them, and that could make my view of the case a bit subjective.

does nobility even exist anymore? I'm fairly certain few monarchy still exist to this day.

Of course we exist, although the bloody democracy is a pain in the ass. My full surname is Grucki Ritter von Sand aus Hessen, but because of the modern legislation I'm just Grucki-Sand.

Besides, we were chosen by God to rule the world, how could we become extinct? ;)

Oh, and we're still thinking about the restauration of monarchy in Germany, as our dynasty still lives. Besides, the fact that a country became a republic doesn't mean the nobility will disappear, French nobility are still standing (although I wouldn't add "strong").

Ah, delightful. I've never seen someone troll either aristocracy, nor Prussians as wonderfully as you have.
Chapeau to your gift of satire, my friend.

sorry, forgive my ignorance but would the fact that your country has officially adopted a democratic system basically made your "noble blood" null and void? Perhaps you have money (which is the real nobility these days) but I don't understand how your claims of a ruling party even remotely plausible. Doesn't it simply make you a political party (ex. communist party), which would also imply that you are part of the democratic system?

or perhaps you're trolling... either way you've interested me.

I believe museums are the most fun when you try take them seriously.

Besides, being a noble means that you have to be of noble nature and always act true to your moral views. Just as being afroamerican means you have to be a voilent uneducated gangsta rapper.

shame... I had hoped for more from you.
