[Immenseman]

i'd guess being born there but god knows

[buttons]

i'd say if you were born in it except for maybe immigrants that give birth in other countries to make their babies legally that nationality

[mike475]

im asking because my mate was born in wales, and he says hes welsh, but his mum is english, and his dad (one night stand) is tunisian :P

[buttons]

my dad was born in russia but his parents are scottish & my mum and her parents are scottish and i was born in scotland so i'd say i'm scottish. yeah, i'd say he is welsh.

[Geraint]

err, very hard to say because I could be born in zimbabwe whilst on holiday but my parents are welsh and I've lived there for 90 years.

[Minstrels]

If you're born in the country you're the nationality of that country. If your parents are both Indian and you're born in Bradford you're English. You may wish to class yourself as "Indian hardcore colours, we'll knock you down in our Nissan Micras" however you will be English. That's where your birth documents are held, in England.

I'd say being born in the country would make you 'part' of it. I'd also say people coming in from other countries and making a contribution would make them part of a country (well part of england as a major part of our country is being 'multi cultured')

[Indie-Dan]

I think officially you have to have lived in a country for at least 5 years to become an official citizen of that country. To determine your nationality however, that would be the country you were born in, i.e. I'm Scottish, but my step-gran was born in Hong Kong so she's... Hong Kongish?

Lol at your use of Bradford.

Us in Leeds like to call it Bradistan (no racist offence meant, but there are many people from the Indian community who live there, and it has the UK's largest mosque. £8m...)

in the us you have to be born here.
or live here for 14 years than take a citizenship test to become a real citizen

[Blinger1]

It is called citizenship .

He's Welsh by nationality/birth. His English and Tunisian heritage is his ethnicity.
