What is your primary ethnicity? Please, do vote, as this could work as a kind of Apricity census. :)

Note 1: You can only vote for one option this time. That's why I say primary ethnicity, so think twice about it in case of doubt. If it's other, specify. Or vote for the closest/prevailing one and specify your case too. ;)

Note 2: Euro-American is supposed to mean any English-speaking North American of European descent.

I'm mostly Russian, but I don't relate with the culture. So I chose Euro-American, cause I satisfy those requirements.

Given that you also have the Portuguese language and culture -correct me if I'm wrong- as your native ones, I'd say you chose properly. :thumb001:

What prevails? In what language do you think? What jokes you understand better? What folk do you feel more as your fellows? What nation winning a championship moves you the most?

I chose English before I noticed the Euro-American option, however I am mostly English in ancestry with some Scots-Irish and just a mere smear of German. :)

Even though I am 63% Basque and 37% Asturian (of Extremaduran extraction) I identify myself as Basque because I was born and raised in the Basque Country.

However, despite my ancestors originating from the green, mountainous coasts of Northern Hispania, the hot and arid dehesas of Extremadura are but a part of me, and that land must not be forgotten.

Well, i have French Norman, Austrian, German and Italy ancestry. I lived in French, Austria and Germany, and I speak the 4 languages, but i´m very educated in Norman, German and Austrian cultures, however, i think the German is the one i identity myself. It was the first language i learned, after the Portuguese. I really like the folks,costumes, cultures, artists and almost everything that comes from Germany

In an archaic sense; I don't tie my ethnicity into Angel-land.

Difficult question for someone born and raised so far away from the land of their roots and their family history. Someone whose never lived in their ancestral homeland.

I spent the first year of my life in the Netherlands, but ever since that I have lived in England, so I guess I feel more English. :)

I don't have a clue. British, I guess....seeing as I have ancestry from all four nations of the British Isles....and the family names most close to me in relation are mostly derived from the Isles..

Other than that....I cannot say. This is why I just call myself Celto-Germanic;)

Sorry Byrnie, but in Britain we do not see British as an ethnicity.

I think this is really a question for colonials. In Europe it is usually straight forward - French, German, whatever (apart from a few places like Britain where nothing is so simple :rolleyes: ).
