I got into a discussion with my family and I was asked "If someone were to ask you where you're from, how would you respond?"
I could say I'm English because I was born in England.
I could say I'm British because I was born in Britain.
I could say I'm Scottish because I've lived here for half my life and my dads side of the family is Scottish.
I could at a stretch claim to be Austrian or Russian as my great great grandparents emigrated from there.
Yet all of those feel wrong.
The only time I 'feel' flightly English when I'm watching football.
I never really feel Scottish unless we're talking about Glasgow, in which case I feel Glaswegian. (think of it like someone in New York being a New Yorker)
I only ever feel British during the Olympics or when WW2 comes up.
So I'm at a loss as to how I would answer that question.
Discussion: How do you describe who you are?
Is it where you were born? Where you currently live? Where you have citizenship? Where your ancestors originated?
EDIT: lots of people have mentioned the differences between nationality, ethnicity, heritige etc.. I'm aware of that but having all of those in the title seemed kind of redundant.
