Poll noob here so forgive me if I screw it up, mods feel free to fix.

Note it's anonymous - but feel free to share here if you like - I'm a white 'murikan.

if you have more than one passport put the one where you were born and/or grew up.

And let's not get too rabid about my choices of categories - personally I realize there is no such objective classifier from a scientific POV, I realize it's broad brush strokes, no offense meant.

OK, but apparently too late to edit - wanted to include in the same category as middle-easterners anyway.

Most likely (I'm predicting) not a large percentage here. . .

I am 100% human. I don't think you need a poll to know the members' nationality. I think you can tell their sex, age, and ethnicity by the way they post.

Hopefully in a few months time you will be ex UK. That'll make us English happy.

Isnt that like an Australian saying they're English? Why do Scot's have this habit of switching between both?

My friend does this and its really annoying.. Im from England but im really Scottish. But hes born in England..

Do African Americans say "Im an American, but im really African.."

That's heritage.

I am Welsh and British. Where your parents are from, where you were born and where you were brought up all factor.
