What is your true Nationality? Or you are with different blood lines?

My father is Brazilian. My mother is South African. I was born in Mexico. I was raised in Portugal. I moved to Australia and lived in Japan and now UK is my home. You do the maths and tell me where am from as I sure hell don't know that..

I, too, am of a mixed ancestry. I have Chinese, Italian, Korean, Dutch and Spanish blood, but racially, I'm predominantly Filipino. I'm a Filipino at heart. I think that's what really matters.

My ancestry is only what could only be called British. I was born and brought up in England, with short spells in Scotland and Wales and now consider myself British/English. My parents were English, but my grandparents were Scottish Irish English . A great grandfather was Welsh another was from the Isle of man. Eventually there's a Spaniard and a Frenchman in those great greats. I'm sure there's probably a bit of Viking in the mix too. A touch of Italian from the Romans and eventually, according to my great grandfather the 'true' blood of Britian, the Picts. My children were born in England, Scotland and Wales so I'm not a strong 'Nationalist'. In a Country as 'invaded' as Britian has been, it would be hard to find a pure line that could trace itself back to the original inhabitants! In England especially!

hi I am an American but my gr gr grandparents came from Ireland, Scotland and England so my forbears had mixed blood, but I am third generation american and proud of it, as I am also proud of my gr gr grandparents too. so we are all mostly mixed blood.

Well my mom grew up in the countryside of South Korea. She met my dad, married, and when I was 10 months old they moved to the U.S. My dad's parents, or my grandparents, moved to the U.S. when they married, with his mom being German and his dad being Scottish. So this is my mixture. I read someone else's reply about getting asked all the time "What are you?" and I can second that. I once had a van full of Vietnamese people ask me to roll down my window so they could ask me if I were Vietnamese. Now that is a little overboard I think. Everybody always guesses Japanese or Chinese or even Mexican but they never guess Korean-I always have to tell them-except for a few people. I think being multinational or multiracial can make my heritage seem interesting as there are many different cultures I can learn about that are a part of who I am. My own children have all these things plus they are half Irish though I am not sure how far back the ancestrial line my husband's family (both sides) moved to the U.S.

I am a n Indian by birth,Heart and religion and nationality.Don't think anything got to do with religion though....

well, I do not have any idea of my family tree and its history….all I know is that we are all Bengalis from every side of the family. Though my mother’s side has some features which do point to mixed blood, specially with people from the Asia, but it must have been way back coz I have never heard anything.

I think you will find that is true of many,many, many, people. Not just your family. Although, most families, will not do an ancestor search, nor admit to having other races in their family: most are not 100 percent. Afer all, just take a look in the Bible, and no further explanation is needed. We did all come from the same place.

I'm an American, though I have different bloodlines. I am Filipino (from my mom's side), Irish, and American Indian (from my dad's side). Even though I have a lot family tree information it is only for my dad's side of the family. The furthest I can go back on my mother's side are my grandparents, so who's to say where my ancestors came from. Maybe one day I'll get the information that I'm looking for. Happy mylotting!

I see. You mean if I am of native nationality or not. In my case, the nationality is mixed. My mother and father came to the place I now call my homeland from abroad. So they were not of native nationality and so am I. I think it's hard to find a person of "pure" nationality nowadays. It's because there were many events in history of mankind that made people move from their homes. Also, people of different nationalities marry each-other and their nationalities mix together. And that isn't bad actually, nationality shouldn't be a barrier preventing people of different nationalities from getting married.

Children now adays show the blood line of their ancestors. By thier color of eyes, skin and hair. Even their height. I'm also a Filipino. By blood line are: on my father side is from south, my grandfather has blood line of spanish and filipino, my grandmother has a portuguese, spanish and filipino. Their children is mistizo and mistiza spanish, portugues and filipino. In my mother side is from north, my grandfather has blood line of spanish, chinese and filipino, my grandmother is chinese and filipino. Now in my generation we have mixtures of features. My elder brother is mestizo protugues married to Mestiza americana igorota their child feature is more on american mestizo. My younger sister feature is mestiza bombay (misture of the above blood line) and married to mestizo spanish and filipino. There kids features is mestiza bombay. My feature is Mestiza Chinese Spanish. My daughter's feature is like Typical japanese lady.

well, im pretty sure that i am Filipino... and my parents are... no doubt about it... and im proud to be one.. but if talking about bloodlines then we have Spanish blood.. my father's ancestor was Spaniards, that was during Spanish era, can you imagine that lol... Philippines was once colonize by Spaniards and that was way back 1521.. and that Philippines was named after King Philip II of Spain. and during their stay they saw a lot of pineapple around the area thats why they put up philip+pines to make it Philippines since Philippines has no name that time, its only an archipelago.. and they also introduce Roman Catholic in the country..

I'm not sure if this counts for something special, but I always thought I was just African American, but a few months to half a year back I talked to my mother about Jamaica and the Bahamas for a vacation trip to take her to once my IT freelancing jobs began to benefit a bit. She told me it'd be nice for Jamaica since we have family there, who are native. I asked her about it and she told me we are also Jamaican descents. I always thought it was pretty nice. I still do. I take a look into more of my heritage every so often to connect a little with my family. I tend to wonder though, if maybe I have something more than just that...

Hi, my dear friends,this is an interesting discussion. Just like our chinese proverb: Home is better than your gold hall. So ,love life ,love your hometown,love everyone who love you.

Even without going back through my family history, I alone am a bit of a conundrum when it comes to an identity I reckon! I'm and Australian and British Citizen with a Parent of each nationality; and I was born in Asia! I do see myself as an Aussie first and foremost though as I spent 30+ years there, but still! At this moment of time, I'm living in the Middle East too. The British side of my family has been traced back to around mid 1600, so that line is relatively pure and the Australian side has Welsh and German roots that I'm aware of. When you really think about it, if you go back far enough we're ALL a mix!

i am born in my country and so are my parents. however, my grandparents all hail from china and we are all chinese. i always tell people that i am 100% chinese but not believed me. when i visit thailand, i am often mistaken as a native thai. i've also been mistaken as a vietnamese, filipina and malay. cheers

I'm an American, but not a Native American. . .well there's probably a small bit of Native American blood somewhere judging from bone structure and stature of many family members. The blood lines that I know definitely are Irish, German and English. I'm Irish and English on my Dad's side and German, English and Irish on my mother's side. My family didn't keep very good records of family history, so I don't know very much about when and how my family came to America.

I'm Malaysian, but my grandfathers came from Indonesia, and their race is called Javanese. My parents can speak javanese fluently, but me and sibling unable to do so. My brother look like chinese, which I don;t know where he got the look from, and I look like Malaysian girl with a an eyes without double eyelids. Well that's me. happy Mylotting.

I see nationality as what country you are a citizen from. It is also the first definition on dictionary.com : "the status of belonging to a particular nation either by birth or naturalization." but I made my own decision on what it means to me way before looking it up. My passport says "American" but I don't consider myself to be from America. I was born and have lived there all my life but I think feeling and being connected with a country takes more than government recognition and living in a certain nation for a specific amount of time. I felt more relaxed and happy in France then I ever had in America but I have only visited France once. Was it perhaps something within me that made France feel more like home? My brother even told me that I would love Germany. At some point in time my ancestors did come to US from Africa, other parts of the Americas, France, Germany, and a few other places but I was born in America and by default that makes me American. I just don't feel any connection with it.

my nationality is Indonesia...i born here...i grow up here...my mom and dad is pure indonesia...so my true nationality is Indonesia
