What nationality/culture are you?

[i-need-a-martini]

Not necessarily the country you are born in. Nor what your ancestors were. But what culture informs your every day life. Your culture is an integral part of your life.

For example, I am born in Australia to Italian parents. I barely speak Italian but my cultural heritage clearly shows through in how I celebrate events like Christmas and Easter. And I affiliate myself  with things 'Italian'. My kids have been brought up with a strong sense of their heritage and even tho they are even far more removed from Italian culture, they easily identify as being Italian.

I am an Australian Italian. You?

(BTW, if you consider your nationality to be from England ,Ireland, Scotland etc then you are Anglo Saxon rather than European)

Where is just "Australian"

You say "Not necessarily the country you are born in. Nor what your ancestors were. But what culture informs your every day life. Your culture is an integral part of your life."  

So if I disregard where I and my ancestors were born the culture I grew up with and identify with is Australian and I do not see that in your choices.

My birth and ancestral heritage never played a part in our upbringing, we came to Australia and embraced the Australian way of life.

My family came to Australian from Scotland 217 years ago...I therefore consider myself an Australian.

My partner was born in Germany to Polish parents and has been in Australia for 63 years, he was 2 years old when his family came here...he too considers himself an Australian.
