Poo I keep lumping that with Italy! Oh, so why do they call him a Frenchman?

Born in France to Italian/Sicilian parents. If you're born in France, you're French

[madbrad]

Wait, you say he's a full blooded Sicilian but also say he's born to Italian/Sicilian parents. Explain yourself!

If you mean one parent was Italian and one parent was Sicilian, then I was right in saying he's half Italian, But you still need to explain your paradox.

No, both parents are Sicilian - I only added Italian in response to your lumping comment. Yes, Sicily is part of Italy, but they're proud to be Sicilian

[madbrad]

ok so by italian/sicilian you meant they're both sicilian but sicily is part of italy, not the one parent italian and one parent sicilian thing. I accept your explanation. But now that I know that coupled with the confirmation that sicily is part of italy as I suspected, JA is not half italian as I thought, but full italian.
I qualified my comment with a "to my knowledge" which makes it immune to insults such as "lumping".

You got that right. Italian by blood, French by birth. And it was you who used 'lumping' first

[madbrad]

Please refresh my memory.


I did think he had a french parent. I know he was always considered a frenchman.
So now I know he's french the same way Nico is german.

There's a difference with NR: he's German because his mother is German (apart from having been born in Germany). Unlike in JA's case, the fact that NR was born in Germany has NO bearing on his citizenship. Germany is one of the countries that defines citizenship by blood relation, not by place of birth.

Really? so if an English couple moves to Germany has a child who intern marries a German born English blooded child and their offspring is also born in Germany by what youre saying that child would be British..?

Yes. The place you're born doesn't matter for German citizenship. You can apply for citizenship if you grow up in Germany and it's more or less a formality after so many years. That's also why the so called Volksdeutschen in Russia where so easily reintegrated, even though they were born and had lived in Russia (and other Eastern European countries) all their lives, did not speak a word German, but were able to claim blood relations.

well s*** i guess i can claim German citizenship as well

Wilhelm - very krauty name
BTW: I believe grand parents are the last blood relations you can claim, so your kids won't be able anymore.
