I got some guy on here telling me that British isn't an ethnicity. I'm like what?
No it is... my friend is British and she's mixed with something else.
A few of my neighbours are British as well.


Who are you talking to?

British is a nationality and English,Scotish and Welsh are ethnicities in my opinion.

Oh okay. Thanks. I understand. My English friend has been labelling British as an ethnicity so I've assumed that as well.

So you've revealed yourself after your other nonsense thread.

Now you realise you were wrong. Next time don't argue with someone without checking your facts first.

Mate, you're the one that was going against me because I was *seemingly* offending foreign guys. Get rid of your PC attitude. I'm not targeting you or everyone foreign. I was making my own opinion. Then I apologise for offending you.


:facepalm:

Ugh, you just can't stop can you?

Me...PC? I'm as un-PC as they come, lady!

I couldn't care less about your opinion or your apology. And as I pointed out to you, I didn't argue with you because of who you were targeting, I argued with you cause your story seemed like bull****. YOU are the one who kept bringing race into every post, just because I challenged your story, LOL.

Maybe in the future, you should actually learn the terms you're using before you use them to attack someone.

I think that those are equally nationalities, they tell you nothing about a person's make-up

False. English is a nationality. Anyone of any colour can be English. English means from England. Welsh means from Wales. Emeli Sande is Scottish. But she is black. Idris Elba is English. He is black. This is simple stuff, folks.

Anglo Saxon is an ethnicity. Apart of the white race. English is a nationality, and so is British. It's just more specific. English doesn't mean white. Nor does British. Saying English is an ethnicity is like saying being from an American state is an ethnicity.
Celtic is an ethnicity. Apart of the white race. Irish is a nationality.

Oromo is an ethnicity. African is a race. Ethiopian is a nationality.
Maroon is an ethnicity. Apart of the African race. Jamaican is a nationality.

Hanguk-in is a Korean ethnicity. Apart of the Asian race. Korean is a nationality.

Anglo Saxon is an ethnicity? Aren't they German?

From my knowledge of Korean, doesn't Hanguk-in mean Korean person in Korean? Korean is an ethnicity.

Anglo Saxons are British, the Germanic tribe who settled there. Anglo is England. This is so easy to find on Google, I mean...

Hanguk-in is what it translates to, but it refers to the ethnic group of Korean people, the same way Han does for certain Chinese peoples.

And no Korean is not an ethnicity. I can move to Korea right now, have me a kid, and that child is Korean. But are we Hanguk-In? No. Korea is a place. Making it a nationality. Not ethnicity.

I'm too lazy to read wikipedia's page on it.

Then you and your kid will be Korean nationals... that's what I'm saying. Let me ask my Korean friends if they call themselves Korean by ethnicity then.
