imi Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Title of the thread would suggest an open and shut case, however its fairly evident that it isnt as easy as that. I think there is the legal aspect of nationality (country where the person was born) AND where the individual feels they belong to - and these dont always end up being the same place. I would have thought the latter in reality is more relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - but my question is if you ARE a dual citizen, why should you have to specify which citizenship is more important if you feel they are both equal?

CJ Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Agreed - but my question is if you ARE a dual citizen, why should you have to specify which citizenship is more important if you feel they are both equal? And, after going round the trees and houses, I go back to my original question. Why is it that only certain nationalities seem to want to do this? I am yet to hear of anyone using the dual thing with British being one of the nationalities quoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All cases would have to be looked at in individual merit, for explain both me & a friend both were born in the same country & then moved to the same country for rough the same time. He seems himself as a Bangladeshi British, myself as a British Bangladeshi. Both have different out views on life & have had slightly different up bringing's.

Why is it that only certain nationalities seem to want to do this? I am yet to hear of anyone using the dual thing with British being one of the nationalities quoted. I think it's to do with the benefits you get from British citizenship in the Western world. If someone was Iranian born and British raised, which do you think they'd quote at JFK airport? British, because there's less chance of hassle from the powers that be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you actually call yourself a Bangladeshi British? If so, thats probably the first time I have ever heard it being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you haven't asked enough people with mixed heritage? It is an interesting question, though, as to whether only "young" nations are part of the dual nationality caper.

Chewie Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Just because you've never heard of a Bangla-Brit or a Greek-Oz doesn't mean they don't exist. Has it occurred to you that maybe these guys are proud of their roots and don't look upon one nationality being any better than the other?

It hadn't occured to me as I only ever heard it coming from this Greek Aussie. If it is as prevelant as you say then it must be being used in areas I never lived.

jonathanc Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Personally I think that nationality mean whichever country you are a citizen of at the moment. I was born back in Malaysia but I'm a british citizen. Only instances I get asked of my nationality are by customs or some officials only so I usually answer "British". If friends asks I will go into more details. Normally friends will ask " Where are you from ? " anyway to which I will answer Malaysia. Seeing Malaysia is a multi-racial country, it would be a bit perplexing to say " Chinese-Malaysian-British " edit: For further information the Malaysian government do not allow dual-citizenship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevins Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Welsh, as I was born in Wales and lives in Wales, I have always believed that your nationality is decided from where you were born. Good example is USA there is 50 states but they are all American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
