    Yep. My father was British. I was born in the U.S. I don’t call myself British or English. That’s stupid. I could even get citizenship if I wanted, but if I did, the closest I would come to calling myself British would be ‘British subject.’ I’m American. Unless I do a fake accent, that’s quite clear.

      “British subject” sounds very American! “Having British citizenship” sounds more, well, British. And I think you automatically have British citizenship because your dad was English. But don’t hold me to it.
