I have been accused of being English, and I need to apologize for that. I am honestly not sure why people in my past have thought that I was from another country. I've had people ask me if I was from England before, or Scotland....

If you can change your nationality, what nationality would you choose?

Sharon Artes @CzianneL_Andrea (283) • San Pedro, Philippines 26 Oct 19

Good day! Of course, I know that we all love our heritage. But this is another hypothetical question. I myself am proud to be a Filipino citizen, I am proud to say that we are well-known for being hospitable, diligent and smart...

Race = Ethnicity; who are we? Were Adam and Eve Caucasian? Since they supposedly had 2 sons; how did the planet get populated? Through incest? Or maybe Satan had a fling with Eve; which would explain the evil in humans. Or maybe...

Patriotism or prejudice.

41Combedale @41CombedaleRoad (5966) • Greece 13 Jan 17

I was recently introduced by a colleague to a friend of hers. She described me as 'very British'. I did not like this because I did not like the 'very'. I did not feel that it was a compliment. Probably because I am aware of...

Did I tell you I finally broke down and got one? They were (not sure if they still are) running a special for the Holidays, I paid $10.00 less. I guess that's what I was waiting for, because as soon as I saw it I bit the bullet...

I'm as Irish as a Yorkshire Pudding

Boingboing @boiboing (13147) • Northampton, England 20 Oct 16

Two weeks ago I applied for an Irish passport. Without realising it, I've been Irish all my life - technically speaking. My late father was born in Wexford and I qualify as Irish because of his place of birth. I've had 'Get an...

Nationality and race issues are getting very confusing

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 14 Feb 16

The problem with globalization is that nationality and race are getting very confusing. When a Chinese guy marries an Indian gal, and they give birth to a baby in United States, you can see how confusing the whole issue will...

Boingboing @boiboing (13147) • Northampton, England 18 Oct 15

When people ask me my nationality I tell them I'm British. Technically I'm from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland but that's far too much of a mouthful. If I'm filling in a form, for example an immigration...

jeanneyvonne @jeanneyvonne (5500) • Philippines 17 Nov 12

I have a friend who has dual citizenship and I think I am quite jealous of her (I have only one). I mean, she gets the best of both worlds - influence, culture, and standing. If one of citizenship or countries went bust, it's...
