This is a question i'm asking of other countries just to get a comparison.
In Belgium would you ever get a group of 1st generation Belgians claiming to be another nationality just because one or more parents were born there? Would they ever feel "closer" to that heritage than they do to Belgian heritage even though they were born in Belgium and have never set foot in that country they claim? |

I don't think so, but I guess that's personal. :wtf: |

Thats a pretty difficult question to just answer with yes or no.
I would suppose that including in Belgium, the majority would feel Belgian with just different roots. |

| The majority claims to be Belgian. There will always be a part that will be stuck in the past (most of the time due to religion (no offence)) but most of them will experience the nationality of where they are born and grown up. |

We'll I was born in Denmark, my dad was a Dane and my mom is a Belgian. I've lived in Belgium since my 4-5 and consider myself more a Belgian than a Dane.
I don't feel much connected to Denmark or its culture, yet I feel a bit of pride towards its history. |
