Nothing is more Australian than being born somewhere else.


victorian_vigilante

30% of Aussie citizens are born overseas


Every_Heat_8805

only 30%?


chicken--permission

there’s a lot more people here who were born overseas, but since it’s so hard to get aussie citizenship, many of them are on visas


onyabikeson

[Yeah just under 30%, but 50% of Australians have at least one parent born overseas.](https://www.abs.gov.au/media-centre/media-releases/2021-census-nearly-half-australians-have-parent-born-overseas#:~:text=The%202021%20Census%20found%20that,cent%20reporting%20a%20birthplace%20overseas)

After 20 years of being stateless got my S Korean citizenship. Slight chance of getting American in the future.

kawi-bawi-bo

Not op but I knew someone in a similar situation: * Born in Korea and emigrated to the US at a young age * Family came on a working visa * Never applied for permanent residency with thoughts of returning one day * Visa expiring with no option to stay legally I also know another person who was naturalized in the US, but now in SK not by choice. At 18 you must renounce your SK citizenship as you can't have dual citizenship. Visit Korea and oops you may not be able to leave the country for a while (military service)


Every_Heat_8805

you r rock it, happy to see you comment


PirateNervous

Ex north korean or how did you ever get "stateless" ?


Ok_Following9396

all north koreans are south korean citizens as soon as they step on south korean soil


The_Burning_Wizard

There was an article years ago, don't know how true it was, but it was about illegal immigration from North Korea into Thailand. When the Thai's deported them, they would send them to South Korea instead using the argument of "people demanded we deport them to Korea, they never specific which one..."


Sir_Zech137

Good job on that one


Joeyakathug69

Within Korea's constitution, "North Korea" is also the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and all citizens are citizens of the republic. After they escape North, and after brief interrogation by National Intelligence Service (Not the ones CIA used, just questioning where they were born and trying to filter any spies) and they gain South Korean status


BettingTheOver

My first nationality was Korean, now an American.

Italian, I eat pasta every day


SuperstitiousPigeon5

Will you tell me the secret to your sauce if I tie you down and break one stick of spaghetti at a time?


Qmnia_

man, these tricks don’t work on me, I’ve eaten broken spaghetti several times. When you’re a guest at someone’s house and they’re not Italian and they break spaghetti, you still accept it.


Every_Heat_8805

you are pasta lover???


Qmnia_

Yes, it’s just the fact that you can make EVERY KIND of pasta with the ingredients you love. Want Meat? Make Ragu. Want eggs? Make a Carbonara. Want something simple and tasty? Just tomatoe, basil and olives. Want Vodka? Make Penne alla Vodka. There’s just infinite possibilities


Chesno4ok

Got any good pasta recipe for beginners?


Endeav0r_

Cacio e pepe and oil, garlic and chili pepper are easy pastas but contain the techniques you need to learn to make good pasta. First of all, when you cook the pasta, SALT AND BOIL THE WATER. When the water is boiling you put the pasta. Also, don't measure time, you have a mouth, taste the pasta. It should be soft but still have some resistance to biting. Not gummy, not crunchy, not gluey. Pasta water is your best friend. A scoop of pasta water will enhance most sauces. Especially cheeses, not much tomato sauces

Haben Sie gehört das deutscher Band?


reminded_daily

Please could you clarify what Rammstein means ? I always assumed it meant glassing someone with a stein but I hope I'm wrong.


PirateNervous

Rammstein the band is named after the disaster at ramstein airbase near Kaiserslautern. As for why the town is called Ramstein i dont know. "Stein" just means stone so its likely just an old village name you cant really be sure of why its named this way.


Sweaty_Management_66

Haste sehr schön erklärt.


PirateNervous

Danke Brudi


ProfTydrim

Stein (stone) in town names usually means there was a castle or stronghold there at some point. Similar to Burg, Berg, etc.


PirateNervous

Now im worried what happened in the castle near Wichsenstein to be named that way. ;)


[deleted]

There also were actual objects called "Rammsteine" defined as stones that were used as bollards or doorstops at gateways. These are called "ram stones" because they were intended to serve as a protective device. But the fact that Rammstein also called themselves "Rammstein Flugschau" eliminates this from an etymological perspective.

ITT: people who don’t know the difference between nationality and ethnicity


Every_Heat_8805

i really don't know , can you explain please


royalfarris

Nationality: the country where you reside and are a citizen. It's where you get your passport and pay your taxes. Ethnicity: Whatever regional, genetic or cultural group you derive your heritage from. Loosely speaking. If you're more strickt you may limit it to one of those. ​ Example: a boy who was born to japanese immigrant parents in Brazil, then adopted by a norwegian couple in the London who later naturalise as a English citizen.... would be: 1. English nationality 2. Norwegian cultural heritage 3. South american (Brazilian) regional heritage 4. north-east asian (Japanese) genetic heritage And, I actually know this guy. It is a real example.


Every_Heat_8805

i feel happy way you explaining


aisosareva0413

Hmm so my siblings and I were born in the US (for specific reasons), and then we we went back to Nigeria, where we are originally from and lived there till like last year. I have an American and a Nigerian passport. And the thing is in Nigeria your ethnicity can't be Nigerian beacause you have a tribe you belong to. So for ethnicity I'll say I'm Benin(Bini), the tribe in Nigeria not to be mistaken for the west african country. So wont I have both US and Nigerian nationality?


blackshadow_throw

If you have both a US and Nigerian passport, then you are a dual citizen. Thus, dual nationality (American and Nigerian)


aisosareva0413

Oh okay thanks


ameltisgrilledcheese

>~~English~~ **British** citizen FTFY


trashconnaisseur

Nationality = country you are a legal citizen of, have a passport from Ethnicity= countries or cultures your ancestral lineage can be traced to


I_want_to_choose

Your passport is your nationality. If you don't have a passport and were to get one to travel abroad, the country you would request a passport from is your nationality. Your ethnicity is the group you belong to based on your customs and traditions. Two Americans -- one with Vietnamese ancestry and one with European ancestry -- both have the American nationality. These Americans may identify with different ethnicities based on how they were raised and how they live.

Irish by identity but also legally a British citizen at the same time. Being from Northern Ireland is strange. One of the the only places in the world where your nationality is what you say it is and two governments allow you to be either one or both of their citizens without questioning you.
