Ben Jones 36 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 * born Dutch * lived in Israel for many years, consider myself Israeli as well - speak Hebrew fluently * lived in UK for years, consider myself as having ties to UK as well * ancestry: Dutch, German, Polish, French, further Eastern European (something with Ukraine and also something with Armenia I think) - both Jewish and not Jewish Languages (in order of fluency): Dutch, English, Hebrew, German, Yiddish. Religion: Jewish (currently not practicing, previously Orthodox, before that atheist) I find the concept of nationality a bit ancient in Europe. I consider myself European. I feel at home in Germany, in Switzerland, in England, in Scotland, just like I feel at home in the Netherlands. Link to comment
Grim Reaper 52 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 50% Greek, around 25% German, and a little bit of Native American and other European countries Link to comment
pantygurl 16 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Wow I am just boring 100% German. Although my granddad is from a part of Germany that is now poland! What do you all think about making threads in different languages. The ones that are here the most often, like German, Spanish and so on. Or does this already exist? Link to comment
KhalDrogo 43 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I find the concept of nationality a bit ancient in Europe. Good point. I am just boring 100% German. What do you mean boring? In that case I am 7/8 boring and 1/8 french. :D What do you all think about making threads in different languages. The ones that are here the most often, like German, Spanish and so on. Or does this already exist? I would like to see a german thread here. And AFAIK none exists yet. From my point of view, I think one thread per language in the general discussion section could not hurt. Thoughts? Link to comment
DrBorderline 325 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 100% American is about as much as I feel comfortable telling. I will say that there's a lot of European ancestry and a little native tribal blood. Not enough to count among the people who care about that sort of thing though. Link to comment
Ben Jones 36 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I would like to see a german thread here. And AFAIK none exists yet. From my point of view, I think one thread per language in the general discussion section could not hurt. Thoughts? Problem is with keeping an eye on things. This site is so amazing because Kirito keeps a close eye on everything. He doesn't know French, German, Dutch, and Spanish. (Actually I think Dutch is the biggest!). Link to comment

Kimiko3 140 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Japanese! There don't seem to be many of us here, I think the language means that most stay inactive (usually we can't speak English very well). Link to comment

pantygurl 16 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Problem is with keeping an eye on things. This site is so amazing because Kirito keeps a close eye on everything. He doesn't know French, German, Dutch, and Spanish. (Actually I think Dutch is the biggest!). I see that as the biggest problem. too. On the one hand many people who are not comfortable enough to write in English could say something, too. On the other hand everyone could write anything that is against the forum rules and noone could do anything. Maybe there could be a contact person for Kirito who is speaking the relevant language?

Guest 66672744 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I'm mainly English, one side of my family with ancestors from Scotland, the side of my family with ancestors from Ireland. Parents were born and raised in England (as was I), so I'm not sure if that makes me 100% English, or mostly English with a tiny bit of Scottish and Irish in me? If you and your parents are born in the same country, but your ancestors were born and lived in another country, then your nationality is that of the country you and your parents were born in and have been living in, is it not? But that rule doesn't seem to apply to professional sports players - e.g. players who were born in countries like Africa, Spain, Canada, all somehow qualifying to play for the England National Football team, so I've never really understood how that works. Problem is with keeping an eye on things. This site is so amazing because Kirito keeps a close eye on everything. He doesn't know French, German, Dutch, and Spanish. (Actually I think Dutch is the biggest!). Why not get some people, who know those languages, to be Kirito's eyes and ears (so to speak), that way they can offer any needed translations. I mean let's face it... Google Translate isn't exactly the most reliable thing to use for translating anything these days.

marcoITA 1 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I'm 100% italian and I live in Italy! Glad to read that there are alot of people from Europe! Nice to meet you everybody Ciao Link to comment
Ben Jones 36 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Too much of a bother to set up something like that. Those who are here are fine with English. I vote for sticking to English, no point in making it that complicated. Link to comment
wetty002 18 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I'm dutch too :) And if Ben says Dutch is the biggest here.. well.. i'm curious how much people from holland are here ;) Link to comment
KhalDrogo 43 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 The issue concerning moderation has occured to me in the meantime as well. I guess that puts foreign language threads off-limits. On the one hand many people who are not comfortable enough to write in English could say something, too. Well, I suppose we can do something about that without creating threads. Also, I finally found a use for the signature feature of the forum. I have started the Babel Fisherman campaign. Instead of being eyes and ears for Kirito, we can be mouths and typing fingers for those hindered by a language barrier and offer voluntary help for translations to anyone who needs it. pantygurl 1 Link to comment
maridette 16 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 American, which means I'm a bit of a mutt. My last name is French, but I think most of the French-ness has been bred out by now. The rest of me is mostly Irish, a hint of Dutch, and about 1/32 Cherokee Indian. Link to comment

Railgun-sama 677 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'm 50% American (some German in there somewhere), and 50% Japanese (on my mom's side), though I've grown up entirely in the US. My mom was adopted over while she was rather young, so she wound up losing most of her Japanese and never passed any to me, so I just speak English for now. I am trying to learn Japanese, though.

Mr. Cream Puff 14 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I am an American. My great grandfather Cox on my mother's side was from Germany and his wife from Switzerland. My Father's side is mainly English with a little bit of German. Link to comment
DezzyBlack 147 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Isn't nationality just whatever's in your passport? In that case, I'm Israeli. Ethnically, I'm a Russian Jew. Link to comment
