I, "Get Real", do solemnly swear and hereby proclaim that I am a Cypriot National of Cypriot Ethnicity & Race, by virtue of direct Choirokitian ancestral inheritance, and by the inheritable ancestral power vested in me through ancestral blood, so help me God.

I BillC being a stateless itinerant of reasonably sound mind, for some of the time, make known my dislike of states, countries, nations, ethnicity, tribes etc.

(How on earth do you "love" a phecking country anyway?)

Declarations of race and ethnicity DO exist Copperline, although they look somewhat different to this… The point is that I can declare whatever I want provided it’s about ME and cause no harm to others.

The birth of labeling groups of people undoubtedly began quite innocently when someone at some stage in time, decided that some people over in some direction had one or more distinctive traits and so categorized them with a unique label so that he would more easily identify them! Nothing mathematical about it…

In Wiki we find that…

“An ethnic group is a group of human beings whose members identify with each other, through a common heritage that is real or presumed”

When it comes to ethnicity we can presume and peddle whatever we want because there is no “ethnometer” so to speak, to verify it.

Ethnicity is no different to a football team; choose a colour, an image, a slogan, a small following, and finally some advertising to expand membership!
