I identify myself as just another human being in this world sharing it with everyone else!

A Very Interesting Question for all... How do you identify yourself?
How do I identify myself? Hmmm.... I don't know, usually by a mug shot, and cops always tell me "You have the right to remain silent... "

Okay, people have a hard time identifying me, especially when I'm out in the wild, so they call me a UFO (Unidentified Friendly Outdoorsman)

To answer the question the OP asked, well I identify myself as Michael, or Mike for short, but people call me other names that I can't mention here..

Seriously, there's British and German in me, even though both of my parents were born in the Holy Land of Israel (It was ruled by the British up until 1948)

1st off, I'm an American.....by the grace of God.

My Ancestry is......
German
Scotch
Dutch
Irish and
English.

Yes I'm about as white as you can get.

My ancestors got around! And you could probably say, we ticked just about everybody off once in our lives.

Most of all I'm of the human race. I don't find it wrong or offensive to talk about your ancestry...it's part of who you are. Forget about all that PC crap.

I am a first generation American or second generation American. The reason being is that the term "first generation" is ambigious since it could mean an immigrant that has been granted citizenship or was born in the country.

My nationality is Vietnamese American. Nationality mean a culture that you can identify with,but on my U.S. passport it say that my nationality is The United States Of America.

I dislike the fact that people asked me about my nationality when it is just The United States Of America. It feel like they are stereotyping me as a foreigner in which Asian actors/actresses are being portrayed as such. The funny thing is that the Native Americans are of asian descent. It seem to me,that I just dislike ignorant people whether they are American or not since if they had good English,then they would know what nationality really meant in the first place.

Nationality is only based on culture. Ethnicity is different in which it mean sharing a common language,physical ties,history,and so on...

My ethnicity is Vietnamese.

Everybody can be the same on the outside,even be clones for the he** of it. Conflict never end,though it could end if everybody is the same in the inside,too!

Since,I was born in St.Paul,MN and I live here in the States,I know that I act more like an American than a Vietnamese person.
