[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 18846"] 100% ....if you want to be. I would give the percentages to whatever each person decides for themself. It is a personal decision rather than a set one. You may be born in Japan from Zambian and Canadian parents who were only visiting there on an OE but brought you up in France. So what are you? Whatever you want to be. Choose your affiliation and be proud of it. I have no qualms when I hear people with little or no actual Samoan blood say they are Samoan. Hell, if they are proud to call themselves Samoans then that is good enough for me. I have also heard of people who were born and bred in Samoa for decades but left to go to America and now they want to be known as American. So be it I say. Nothing wrong with saying you are a combination either, no matter how small the link. The problems occur when exclusive people say you are not something when you want to be one. People who say "Not enough blood" or "Never been here" or "Can't speak our language". Cultures and countries are forever revolving so there is no need to be so exclusive. If you really think about.........in the context of history we are now all "mongrels"....yet we are ALL Humans. And I don't have the XBox version yet. [/QUOTE]
