no I am not British by the all
u should feel comfortable about that because sharing two nationalities isn't given to anyone . You have the priviledge of coming from two beautiful countries with ancestral cultures and traditions so you should be proud to be different...right ?
^_^
Even if you said that you are british ,they' ll still want more explanation because we don't look like british people ,do we ?
so they will probably ask you about your origin...are you a permanent citizen in England or in Morocco ? why would Morocco pay your social fees if you not living in it ?...
I say Moroccan, cause I consider myself Moroccan from Morocco, then I consider myself Arabian, then I consider myself a wannabe a Balck guy (lol), ( that's what my friends call me for liking black girls so much), and then I consider myself American.(lol)

Allah o Akbar.
I feel more Morrocan than Belgian even if i was born & i live in Belgium.
Probably because in Belgium we don't have that patriotism we can find in other countries (ex: US & France)
Actually here we are seen especially in relation to our origin rather than our nationality.
For example if a black person says i'm Belgian everybody's gonna be like it's not possible because you're black!
So I consider myself more like a Moroccan because it's my origins but also because "pure" Belgian people'll never see me as a Belgian,...

So what is a typical belgian's reaction when you tell them that you were born and raised in Belgium but consider yourself Moroccan. Do they swallow it casually? Anticipate you'll one day go back to morocco?
The general consensus here in England is that once you get your British passport then you are expected to be a patriotic Brit and from my experience English people find it annoying when you keep 'bragging' on about morocco this, morocco that! And it's not long before the daggers come out.

But excuse me, to deny people the right to acknowledge their ethnicities is abusive and racist. And when [W]e say we are Moroccans, we refer to our ethnicity and not ligeance.

Your face is the best aknowledgment!
I think it's good to go beyond ethnicity and share the same homeland.
Well. It depends on the overall circumstances. And I do not pledge my allegiance to a country blindly.
even if you were born in the Uk, the fact that your parents are immigrants makes you an outsider..
im not sure if its the case really over there, but thats how i feel we are treated in canada.. We are Canadians when we accomplish something brilliant but we are strangers when we dont
I dont feel like im moroccan especially when i go visit [only because morocco has changed, and i wasnt there to live that change, so i feel like im holding onto some idealized image of coutry that no longer exists]..and that scares me, when you become a stranger in your homeland..where else can you go?

I always say my true nationality when other people ask me. But when it is asked on an application form, I tick the 'Uk citizen' box or write 'British' next to 'nationality'.
A nationality is defined by your documentation... not by where you grew up... You may be a british national at heart, but not a british citizen.
Personally i am both
British citizen, and moroccan citizen... i was born outside the UK went to school there and now live in Morocco... I consider myself a Moroccan with a british (amongst other citizenships)This is only my opinion, but I think this is sad...
