British due to your username

You're not someone I would exect to like donald trump, doesn't that kind of conflict with the whole hippie spirit thing? That said I don't know where it seems like your from, your profile doesn't say...could be from any of those places.

I guess I'd say american, I cant really picture people in those other countries listing 'liking green' as something common among Irish people, seems like an assumption an american would make based on the St. Patrick Day celebrations in the U.S. since a lot of people have a tradition of wearing green that day. Also not sure what sweet pea is.

I'd say Canadian, because being one myself it seems pretty common for us to be in love with the cultures of other countries. Canadian identity is kind of a strange thing, because we are largely a country of immigrants. We were colonized by the English and French, and other countries followed soon after. We have a lot of cultures that basically coexist, often with a unique twist thanks to our rugged climate.

Well for a while I did think you were British until I found out where you lived

I'm not sure liking the 60s and Donald Trump is inherently American, though

I picked American because you used the word 'cleats' elsewhere and that's not a word that really gets used in England.

What is cleats?

American that's an anglophile.

The word "Cockney" in your nickname is a confusing curveball that implies that you live in London. But you come off as American, or sometimes you and your bickering family (seem in your posts) to be some kind of cultural hybrid of British and American (which is kinda of the very definition of "Canadian"). So yeah - I would say that on balance you seem Canadian, for the most part.

Real Germans today who live in Germany dont go walking around dressed like Sgt. Schultz. So "German" is the absolute last thing you seem like. And you dont seem particularly like an Irish person in Ireland itself (though you could be of Irish descent).

You kinda come across as a mix of nationalities. Can't say Irish ever crossed my mind though.

Funny you mention the Trump thing, I keep being read as American on the internet because of my love of Bernie Sanders and opposition to the Democrats' spin on why they lost (hint: the one they forced upon their voters) when I'm actually British.

Possibly a mix of all of these. You have a good variety of interests, just as I do.

I see myself as a mix as well.

I am an American of German and Italian ancestry. People might see me as other things based on my unusual interests.

Spanish-My favorite tennis players are Spaniards-Rafael Nadal, David Ferrer and, on the women's side, Garbine Muguruza

Russian-I like tennis player Denis Istomin

English-One of my favorite athletes of all time is Roger Bannister

When I first joined WP I thought you were British,then Canada came up later.
It's nice to be interested in different nationalities.
I'm a "Duke's mixture",a splattering of different European ancestries.After doing research I discovered that I'm not just the "Scotch-Irish/Native" mix I had assumed.This opened up new interests for me.
