Well sure, if you want to play, I'll play If you and your wife, Mrs Piet Poggenpoel, move to Japan, for instance, and have children there, are they automatically Japanese? Or were they just born in Japan? or If you meet the lovely Miu Fuurinji from Japan, and bring her over to live with you in Riviersonderend, where your children are born and raised, are they South African? Half South African and half Japanese? Reason I'm asking (and think maybe we should create a separate thread for this) is I think culture, heritage, nationality, race, etc are more complicated than simply where you are born. For instance: I have two friends who got married and moved to Taiwan a while ago. They had two kids while they were there and they have permanent residency. The kids have been raised there and go to a government school. They can speak, read and write fluent Chinese, English and Afrikaans. But if you ask they parents they would most definitely not agree that the kids are Taiwanese.
