They are ethnic nationals. |

My daughter was born in Australia to British Mother and Sri Lankan Father. She could have citizenship in all three countries but we have gone dual with Australian/British.
She spent first 12 months in Oz and has spent 2yrs in the UK we are heading back to Oz. She will be what she wants to be. She is very lucky being able to visit many countries with her passports and I am sure will be the envy of her friends if she decides to go travelling when older. Jo |

When one refers to Chinese as an ethnic group, one's normally referring to the Han Chinese who make up more than 90% of China's population. All other ethnic groups are considered minorities. The better known minority ethnic groups are the Mongols, the Miaos, the Manchus (AKA Manchurians), the Urghurs, and of course, the Tibetans, etc. There are also Russians and Koreans near the border to Russia and North Korea. Just to confuse things a bit more, in China, Chinese is a nationality, not an ethnicity. I'm Han, mostly, I think. My dad says to check if you are Han or not, just have a look at your little toes. If you have a little vertical split on the end of the little toe nail, you have at least a bit of Han in you. Mrs JTL |

Jo At the end of the day, your daughter is from Australia, she can't change that. When someone asks her "where are you from?", she will have to say Australia. She can go wherever she pleases throughout her life, marry whoever and become a citizen practically anywhere.... but she is still from Australia, no matter where she ends up living and no matter where her parents were born or originated. |

this question.........if your child was born in Australia, then you went back to UK and child was brought up there, would you still call your child Australian?
Reason i ask is my friend was born in Hong Kong, but moved back to UK when she was 8. She says she is English not Chinese, her parents are English and had been brought up as English, but was born in Hong Kong. Is she Chinese or English?? |

As Iranian national I didn’t move to England because we had problem in Iran, when I came to England it was before the Islamic revolutions, & we came with a lot of money, I think any country would be more than happy to have you in their country when you enter with loads of money, just like Australia love its immigrants. So I was eligible for citizenship before I married my OH, marrying him just made it happened faster. So the Passport makes me British, but if I did something noticeable people would say I'm Iranian born with British nationality. Like one of the creators of "ebay" is Iranian born with American citizenship, so he would be Iranian-American. Does that answer your question? |
