Mathilda Wrote:I was born and raised in England for example. Yet I identify as German and Scottish. No one thinks that this is strange because my dad is German and even though I do not have a Scottish accent I live in Scotland with a native husband. They have the concept up here of the new Scot. I never felt English but I immediately recognised Scotland as the home for me when I first moved up here. But I also recognise that I am culturally British despite my separatist tendencies. On the other hand while my father is German, he's lived in England most of his life because he prefers it there because he sees society as being less rigid. He's actually quite English at times, to the point of making Hitler jokes while on holiday in Germany as if he was some British tourist. My dad even gets complimented on his good German language skills because he has lost his native accent.
Yet Germans and Brits did not develop differently in the womb like males and females do. But there were values and a world view that appealed more to me in these countries than in the one where I was born and raised.
