RE: Nationality after an event
I'm a Prepoidoppolisian.
Personally, I've never been bothered by where someone is from. I'm more interested in where they're going.
If someone is born in India, then moves to the UK. They vote every time, they love their fish and chips, speaks English, is Christian, and likes the queen. That's more honouring to the British traditions than most of us. In fairness most people here are not fans of the government, or the queen.
When people group together as Jodansgang said, it's instinct to group together. After TSHTF, if you're bleeding to death and a doctor comes to help you, I doubt you'd be bothered where they're from, if they saved your life.
People in the same geographical region will band together if they're not feeling safe. Once they feel more secure, that's when things like race, accent, nationality, and those kind of things will come into effect. Until then, people are more likely to work together until they feel safe enough to infight.
Oh, and I believe in the idea of being myself. Not labled as British, English, French, German, European, or anything else. I am me, and the country I was born in, live in, move to, or anything else, does not define me and classify me as being such. I am not British or English, even though I was born in England. I am not European, even though I was born in Europe. I am a human being, living on the planet earth. I am Scythe13. I am an individual, and I am me. Nothing more, nothing less.
