Huh?

It's something to do with language I guess. Native English speakers + people from countries where English is learnt at a young age will be much more numerous here in NS than those from countries where English is less relevant.

I WON'T REMAKE THE WHOLE POLL SELECTION. IF YOUR NATIONALITY DOESN'T APPEAR IN THE POLL SELECTION, SIMPLY MENTION IT THERE.

Relax

Chinese is actually both my mother tongue and my first language. I was raised by my maternal grandparents, and both of them spoke Fujian.

Relax

I am relaxed, it seems people don't understand, so I might simply CAPS LOCK IT.

That might offend him. Keep it as civil as possible.

How is that offending, if I may ask..? I just know Singapore from that law. Sorry if my Dutchness makes me sound rather direct, though.

Isn't that an Australian, stereotype?

So you have connections from North Europe/Scandinavia, right?

I've lived in Norway all of my life, and half of my ancestry is Norwegian.
Nevertheless, dad still uses English at home.

Okay, since I'm involved here, I can't rule on it, but it would really be a wise thing to not abuse the caps lock

I thought it was a ritual to become of age? Like, boxing with cangaroos, wrestling crocs and eating live spiders

I am Dutch and have ancestors from Germany and Indonesia.

It's pretty much all over the streets....
By most you will get a response like "I'm used to it" and stuff.

I am Australian by nationality. Ethnically I am 50% Scottish, 25% Hungarian and 25% Anglo-Indian. I'm a right mess, I know.

Uh huh.

Considering one of my grandmothers is Straits Chinese, I most likely have some Malay blood. Also, a little bit of Dutch.

But mostly Chinese.

So if we're doing ancestry:

55% irish, 45% english
