| What is your nationality/citizenship? If you were given a chance to change your citizenship/nationality, what would be it? Nationality: Filipino I want to be a Swiss German or Japanese.. I love Germany and Japan! And if I become Japanese, I will not have to read subs! And Swiss are cool. How about you? |

| Australian. No, I wouldn't change it. We are ignorantly perfect. |
| American (I know there are a lot of people getting ready to yell at me for that word, deal with it). No. I would only change it if I really needed to for some reason. I know this country has a lot wrong with it, but every country does, and no country will ever improve if its citizens have the mentality that they would rather leave than make any attempt to change it. 1 person really will rarely make a difference, but 1 + 1 +1 +1, etc, really will, and joining in the masses that would rather escape a problem than face it can only serve to damage your own country (no matter which one you're from). Unless you're a corrupt politician or criminal, then you're just helping us out by leaving, lol. |

| White. No desire to change my nationality, but maybe citizenship. |

peeyaj said: @Jade I really don't know (call me ignorant), why Americans have a very bad reputation in the world? The Philippines love US. When compared to developing nations we have a lot going for us. When compared to other 1st world nations a lot of people disagree (as well as our own people) with certain aspects of our government and system. The whole surveillance thing being one of them, education, and healthcare being the 2 major other ones. There's a mix the world over of people who say we "should" help other countries because we have the means to and then people who say we should mind our own business. Our citizens are also mixed on that, though people lean more towards the "mind your own business" part. It pisses people off when a country gets involved in another country's affairs that really has nothing to do with the intrusive country. As a nation on a whole and individually we can be quite arrogant, acting like we are better than the rest of the world. No one ever likes that either. I never realized how arrogant americans could be until I lived abroad and got to see how they acted in another country. There are both good and bad, but the arrogant jerks are loud mouths and give us a bad reputation. But really, what country doesn't have so many problems? the USA is just like the loud mouth one that stands out a lot and effects the world more strongly than most other countries, so we're demonized more frequently. If that gives you an idea, at least those are the impressions I get from foreigners that can't stand us. Oh, and a lot of people hate that we call ourselves "american", but yet can never come up with a good alternative >.< lol |

Anyways ontopic: Italian, I don't care much for nationality, I don't have any real love for either the country of my birth, nor the country that I live in. I don't see why I should have any kind of pride in where I was born. |

| New Zealander and if given the chance i would change residency to either England, South Korea or very maybe Japan just because these countries live with a decently big population but not too big like U.S.A or extreme China they are pretty safe countries (especially Japan) have good or decent economies and all round good living standards dont get me wrong NZ has good living standards it just doesn't have as many job opportunities or economic advantages it is beautiful and safe but it doesn't have the economy or opportunities (plus it is expensive to buy entertainment products) but with only 4.5 million people it is hard to compare with other countries. |

I meant that we indulge in our own white superiority and refuse to acknowledge faults and a lot of the fucked up shit we do(Asylum seekers). What were you referring to if anything? |
| British. Change countries at the very least . |

XD Well, I really don't wanna take this thread off-topic, especially since we've had enough topics about this recently...but. Assassinating political leaders who didn't agree with the US, supporting brutal dictators in Africa and the Middle East for the past 40+ years~, Drones (especially Drones, more than most people realise) and ever war for the past 30 years were all for economic reasons (and especially corporate profits), exploiting poorer countries and 'stealing' their natural resources (US: 5% world population, uses 25% of the world's natural resources, example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_massacre there are many cases like this in the more recent past). |

I'd group the other stuff in with war mongering and involving ourselves in another country's business, but good point on the economic monster thing. Numbers and facts aside, you're right that people also detest our place in the world's market as a whole. OT I still wouldn't change my nationality unless it became necessary for some change I had to make and really made life a lot easier (like if I had to move back to my husband's country for some reason and couldn't stay without the change). Like I said, we have our problems, but everyone does. And you can't be a world power with the way this world is run without having enemies, beggars, and friends, and many that fit more than one of those, lol. Though people sometimes just feel they fit better into a country with different types problems or magnitudes of the same, so I can see how some others would want to do that. Of course if I fell in love with some other country upon visiting and just felt my heart belonged there, I might consider it. |

| I have double nationality: Argentine and Italian. I'm glad I could get the Italian nationality thanks to my grandfather, it's so much easier to move around the world when you are considered a European instead of a South American. |
 |
| Australian by birth, that said I do not or ever will believe in patriotism or nationality, that is just another form of political innuendo to control the masses drummed into us throughout or 'education'. I have no nationality, I am humane and no I cannot change my designated nationality or embrace it. |

These white folk you mention don't discriminate who they oppress, trust me. It's based entirely on social and financial class. Poor people are all colors. :/ |
| I am Filipino but in 2016, I have a chance to be an Australian Citizen and I will do it. Travelling to other countries will be easier if I have an Australian passport... |
 |
| Serbian and Slovenian. Don't see why I'd change my nationality. I'm fine with both of those countries, and the Slovenian documents pretty much make me the citizen of all EU countries so w/e |

| I am Indonesian. I never thought to change my nationality and i don't see the reason to do that. |
| Nationality: British Desired Nationality: Thessian or German |
| American I wouldn't really change it, due to English being the most widespread language and America having some points marginally better than England. I might consider someplace in Scandinavia, but I'd worry about the language stuff... |

| I'm from the Philippines too. Before, I wished was Japanese because like you said, I wont need to read subs and, i have a huge crush in a japanese singer before but i realized i love my country even though there is a lot to hate about our country. |

| I'm Hungarian living in the US. Sometimes I do find myself wishing I was Asian because some of my interests have been things like anime and k-pop (in the past), but I'm okay with my nationality. Hungarians are pretty cool, and I'm lucky to know English. |
| I want to be a cute japanese schoolgirl, though I want to remain white to be treated like a godess (?). |

There's no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can't gain anything without losing something first.

Discrimination? yes. I live in California where it's as diverse as it gets, and it's still everywhere. OT: American obviously. I probably wouldn't change it, I'd rather help change my country than leave it. Not saying, I wouldn't mind living in other places though. |

| I appreciate your love without the envy~ |
| I would totally change it. Actually if I could just change the place I live that would be enough. I don't care about nationality. |
| Slovakian.. And no, I don't see a reason to change it. |
| im dominican and damn proud of it. |
| American. Yes, yes I do, very much. I don't even know where to begin... |
| Never forget, that if you post a topic, you're not allowed to post in it yourself, by order of MAL administration. |
| I'm Welsh and I'm cool with it It annoys me how foreigners assume we speak English or aren't a country though |
| I am german. And I am okay with it. Don't need another nationality. Don't like everything in this country, but the freedom to decide everything by myself is great. No restraints! Hiryu12 said: Travelling to other countries will be easier if I have an Australian passport... Why this? Is there anything wrong with coming from Philippines? Or otherwise: Why is it harder to travel with your own national passport? *wonder* |
| I am American. Probably wouldn't change it unless I really had a good reason to or just got bored of the country. |
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svpejQ1I7Z0 ^^^This is all of you people t(^-^t) |
| I'm Venezuelan. I love my nationality, and I never want to change it. Under any circumstances. But I wish the situation in the country could get better, so I can go back. |
 |
| Austrian, and idc about changing it or not. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I'm argentinian and I'm not interested in changing my nationality, though I wouldn't mind leaving my country to work in some first world country just to make money, as the economy in my country is going downhill. Btw, I'm white and beautiful, so I'm fine with my race too. |
I luv u |
| are we talking about the nation we were born in? or.. a lot of people have different types of answers o-o |
