Kintoé Posted January 31, 2010 French Canadians have an accent that is more like half British and half French, and all French Canadians are born obsessed with ice hockey. :-D Eh, I'm a French Canadian and I really don't care about ice hockey. But in my familly, I'm the only exception. I'm the only exception, as well, that is a fan of Lego. It is true that our language is a mix between British English and old French language. And we have some expressions that can make us look like retarded cause we speak a kind of French dialect named the "joual". But you must know that our ancestors where French, Irish, and people banned from their countries without a good education. They were obliged to populate a French Colony in North America. Later, the British came and they took the rest of Canada. The French colony named "Nouvelle France" has become the Province of Quebec and there is where I live. The majority of French Canadian lives in that Province. I'm mostly French Canadian, but I have Irish ancestors in my Mother's family. And I have some Viking blood from my Dad one .

Sir Fred Posted February 1, 2010 I've got some Iroquois in my background as well as pretty much any country in Europe that you can name. So I'll just call it Canadian, since I don't really have a dominant background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored Robot Posted February 9, 2010 Guess I'm the only American of African decent here...as usual. Moving to Spain soon so I'm not sure what I will be as time goes on and my dominant language and cultural patterns change! I like to immerse myself in different cultures, I'm a citizen of the world I guess. Couldn't agree more with these folks: For me, a person is really defined by where they live and in turn, by what they contribute to their community. An Australian living in Belgium isn't any more or less Belgian than a Englishman living in Belgium. The fact that the Englishman is European and the Australian isn't really relevant. Both individuals are simply there. Heck, both of those immigrants may contribute far more to Belgian society than many citizens who have lived all of their lives there. Ultimately, the only thing worth measuring is the contributions we make to the community around us. Being Canadian simply means that I live in and contribute to this country, just as you being European means you live in and contribute to European society. In turn, I am bound by the laws and orders that regulate this land and you are governed by a similar set of rules in your nation. I recognize that these may be artificial constructs but I don't really feel that I can draw a distinction between a continental division and a national one. Heck, in a federal state like Canada we are further sub-divided into provinces. Our identity is very much defined by the rules and regulations which we are subjected to, even if they are artificial.

Domar Posted February 12, 2010 Ethnicity involves the common consciousness of shared origins and traditions.It is a population of human beings whose members identify with each other,either on the basis of a presumed common genealogy or recognition by others as a distinct group or by common cultural,linguistic,religious or territorial traits.

Icesaber Posted March 14, 2010 I'm Glad you assimilated into US culture but the majority of illegals from South and Central America do not. So what is the problem? [completely unrelated to the above quote] I think that some people are confusing "ethnicity" with "nationality." I am an ethnic Korean who still has retained Korean citizenship but maintains residence in the United States. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
