Pointless question I must know.

Well, being of Irish descent, and from Cork, I want to know how many of you are not from the US. You canajuns…KEEP OUT OF IT WE DON’T WANT YOUR KIND HERE!!! :smiley:

Anyway, who here isn’t American?

According to the census form we just filled out I’m Swedish and Mrs. Pluto is Manx. We are both American citizens, however, born and raised in the US of A. Mrs. Pluto’s dad was Canadian, but is now a naturalized American. (His grandmother was from the Isle of Man. Hence the census report.)

Apparently the government doesn’t believe any of us might be Americans. We have to have an “ethnicity”.

When I was 14 or so, I was ‘naturalized’ with all the privelages thereof. But, a few years ago I had to give up my Irish citizenship :frowning:

I’m American borned and raised. But you don’t want me here, do you? You durned furener.


I sold my soul to Satan for a dollar. I got it in the mail.

They may have changed things Euri (I’ve been a naturalized citizen for a long time now), but I’m not sure you had to give up yer Irish citizenship. IIRC, there is, or was, a loophole that allowed dual-citizenship so long as you went back to renew your accent every so often.

I’m a Scotsman by birth, and I think they only put in the loophole because they like to make fun of our accents. (Insert Smilie here)

Anyway, what do you call a sixteen year old Irish lad who’s in the third grade?

Gifted.

Fourth generation Irish immigrant. Does that count?

I’m just an Irish Jew from Guam.

The census doesn’t have a selection for ‘american’ which sucks.

From Chandigarh, in India… and from Toronto. I go back & forth a lot.
Soo…

I haven’t got any American in me. If Sqrl asks, I don’t want any either :smiley:

15/16 Dutch, 1/16 German. Hardly Yankee material, I’m afraid.
