JLovely Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I can understand what you mean, but also what she means too. I guess identity can't be specific all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Wherever you are born, that is your nationality.Not always.Where your born, is simply where your born. It can mean more, or it can mean less.If i was born in Mongolia, but moved to UK 2weeks later, i doubt i would be considered a Mongolian National. It has something to do with being a citizen of a nation to make that your nationality. What about Kurds aswell. They have no physical Nationality as in a country with physical borders so how would one be Kurdish? It's more than where you are born in some cases.

Do you mean British exclusively?i ment that from time your born here and have british passport ur british!you tick the box what says "british" when you fill your form in... being British doesnt mean you have to be white...in that girls case she is a british person with roots in jamacia and (my bad i forgot the other country she from..read quite a lot of threads since this one...excuse this) so yeah she is a british person with ethnic roots some were else....as have i and most people in this country...
