Whilst we are still splitting hairs....
Isn't the continent is called America, not North of South America. Although I admit that to using those terms at work.
The country of America is called the USA.
We need some good SN debates!

The Continent of America may well be made up of 35 countries but is split up into North America and South America but the Country of America is one country made up of 50 states all of which are America so Clares analogy is still pointless.
But on a different note isn't it good to have an interesting debate on SN where no one has slagged anyone off, insulted anyone or mention the Asian members of a certain religion

, without making the counterposter look like an idiot. Such discussions just run so flat that I'd rather read some tension than a driniking pint of flat f**king lemonade! Even our nicey-nicey Leslie throws his weight about on SN sometimes, which is brilliant. This thread hasn't yet invloved any name calling or a religious ismisism, so I agree with Wurzel that SN debates can remain free of both, like this one.

What that's all about in this current century is that Ireland is a separate country. Do try to keep up.

With reference to the original question, I do believe the British equivalent of the US 'Jim Crow' rules would apply 
I'm confused, five football teams

The country you incorrectly call America (often called the US or the States) is actually called the USA. We've already discussed what this stands for.
The USA is one of 35 countrues that make up the continent of America.
I assume you don't call South Africa.........Africa?

No I call south Africa South Africa as it is a country with a flag, national anthem and passport so what is your point?

By the way, we have 4 nations in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Southern Ireland, or Eire is not much to do with us and is a separate country. Their nationality would be Irish, however everyone else in the British Isles is British.
I don't know if I understood the original question, because English and Welsh aren't nationalities....

My aunt and uncle are both English, their first son was born in England and classes himself as English
Their second son (two years younger) was born after they moved to Porthmadog, and he definitely considers himself Welsh, even to the point of getting a dragon tattoo last time they completed the Grand Slam

So, it actually proves what I said earlier, there are no Welsh (and therefore no English or Scottish either) citizens. Do keep up

Right, my mate`s Dad is English and his Mum is Welsh. He was born and lives in Chirk in North Wales. He says he`s English because his Dad is and he can choose. What is his true nationality?
My girlfriend said if a British couple give birth to a child in Japan, it doesn`t make them Japanese does it!!!
What do you peeps reckon?

As for the USA, yes, it's the United States of America, because America is the country that the states are part of, not the continent. America is correct in the same way that Britain or Great Britain is correct.
Has anyone mentioned Islam yet?

I thought they were English............errrr............British on their passport. Anyway, what about Welsh hating to be called English, and Scottish also get their goat bleating if anyone calls them English by mistake? They all look the same, anyway.

Perhaps you should try and read the whole thread. I had earlier stated that we are British, where did I say anything about being an English citizen? Fail!
So, it actually proves what I said earlier, there are no Welsh (and therefore no English or Scottish either) citizens. Do keep up

Read my replies and point out where I said anything about being an Welsh citizen? Major fail
I was merely showing you your statement was pointless.........I was actually pointing out that Wales was a country not a principality!
Maybe you should read things properly

Ok, I get it. Now I know why Irish are so stuck up. I thought they were English............errrr............British on their passport. Anyway, what about Welsh hating to be called English, and Scottish also get their goat bleating if anyone calls them English by mistake? They all look the same, anyway.
