In high school it was strange, i was one of very few anglo-saxons at my school. Everyone was either Italian, Greek, Spanish, Phillipino, Indonesian, or Aboriginal. It was more strange because those that were anglo-saxon tried to pretend that they weren't, and desperately tried to make sure they were a 'wog' and not a 'skip'.

both my parents were born in australia, not sure about my grandparents, i think they were born here. somewhere along the line, anyway, i have ancestors that were from germany and england. actually, i'm related to sir matthew flinders, so we probably came over on the first fleet - and not as convicts. ha.

when i was little, when we were asked what nationality we were, all the kids would go "im scottish/german/italian/french/dutch/" etc... you know? a whole bunch of stuff.
and i just said "im english". point blank. that was cool.
most of the people in this town are German. its funny.
