What is your criteria to be a member of your ethnic group?

Not exactly. That would be like if England was called Britannia, and since Britannia is another name for Britain, then everyone on the isles was actually "Britonian" aka English. What would the scottish and welsh think about that?

Well, Irish are technically British too (the British Isles), but that doesn't mean they belong to the UK.

Likewise Hispania was the name for all of Iberia as used by the Romans, but history made it so it would stand for the Kingdom of Spain as we know it today. The Portuguese Autonomous Region of Spain would be a bad idea of course lol.

So blood doesn't necessarily play any part then?

I assumed from your earlier post that you thought having native ancestry was part of being Czech but less important than language.

Yes. And most of Jews in our country are mixed with non-Jews, since the end of WW2

I'm half Irish and English, but all 4 of my grandparents were born in the UK. The Irish who live in the North belong to the UK whether they like it or not. Whether or not to consider Ireland British is a tough question, I consider myself British informally but technically I'm not sure.

For example she is born in india and her mother is indian and father is german for me she is indian you at least need one indian parents to be part of indian culture.

And a Westerner speaking fluent Polish only can be an honorary Pole

Aren't all Poles Westerners according to Samuel P. Huntington?
