So, there are some other threads asking the same question, only the country differs. Well, here is mine, are you German?

I guess that I am the only one around, but that's not keeping me from posting this anyway. :p

Damn, and of course there is a typo in my poll... :(

I'm about 7/16 German, last time I did the math. So, ya could say I'm German by descent. And as soon as I know enough German, ya wouldn't be able to tell the differrence.

Besides having an umlaut in my surname I also had a german girlfriend once.

Belgium beer is better than german beer.

I object.

Your objection is noted and declared unsubstantial, just like german beer.

My ancestry is half german half british.
I guess I get my sense of humour from the british side and my genocidal tendencies from the german side.

That had no more grammatical errors than it had spelling errors. Ya just forgot the "t" at the end of "nicht" and the "s" in the middle of "Deutsch".

Sorry to burst yer bubble . . . :D

Is this a question of citizenship or of ethnic origin?

Oh well, either way is No for me...

Dreamwalker

Both. If you are citizen of Germany, you are German, if you are born here, you are also German.

I'm Dutch and used to live 2,70 meters below sea level. but the global warmers promised a sea level rise so I fled to Germany immediately and reside now in Germanies highest city, I believe, at some 950 meters elevation on the Schwabische alb.
