To be perfectly honest, the vast majority of Americans would not be able to differentiate between Scots, Irishes, Brits, etc... (including me) |
There are no "Brits". Britain is the whole of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. |

What if your mom is from Wales, and your dad from England, and your moms parents are Scottish and your dad's parents are from Northern Ireland? |

You would be british just the same as if both your parents were welsh. Your nationality however i have no idea what it would be, similar case to yours i think |

Having a choice out of the four, you would of course choose to be from Northern Ireland :cool: |

i am vietnamese by blood (both parents are vietnamese) but i was born and bred in England.
Nationality-wise I would state that i'm British, but if anyone asks of my ethnic background then i'm vietnamese, i'm hardly your typical anglo-saxon lol
and i have a relatively posh english accent, i'm no cockney cos i'm from london :p |

i haven't met that many people from England so i can't really make a valid opinion of the country based on little information/experience... the extent of my knowledge of England comes from movies/TV, books (Layer Cake was especially fun to read, trying to figure out all the slang), and interviews with DJs. i'm just a sheltered Wisco girl, hahah... but i'd love to visit England and many more places in Europe. i love learning about other cultures.
as for the British accent, i never really cared for it... i find myself more attracted to Armenian/Iranian/Turkish/middle eastern accents for some reason. |
