3rd largest ancestral group by state and territory in Australia (2016)
‘I always want to answer Australian but I always feel like it’s missing the point of question so I’m never sure.
My ancestors first arrived in Australia on the second fleet, and the last time one of my ancestors was born internationally was well over a hundred years ago. We have no ties to any international family, so ties to any immigrant group in particular.. like I have German heritage but it’s been generations since anyone spoke German. Irish ancestors and British ancestors but we know nothing about their lives before they came here etc.
Feels completely disingenuous to say I am ‘Irish’, ‘German’, etc when it’s been several generations born here and living here as Australians.
I wish there was a better definition given or the question was more specific’–qsims
