<p>When my son was being interviewed he was asked what heritage he was. Is this normal or even legal?</p>
<p>Yes to legal; it is on the strange side, though.</p>
<p>Heritage – as in where your family is from and who they are? I would expect that. Esp. if asking about legacies.</p>
<p>Ethnicity – Legal, but you are not required to answer. If it makes you uncomfortable, simply don’t volunteer the info, or if they ask, say, “I’d rather not say.”</p>
<p>Eek, whoever is here, I have a question about heritage/ethnicity too.</p>
<p>O.K. My Mom is 100% british. Born in England. My Dad was born in New Jersey. His ancestery can probably be traced towards poland. I, myself, was born in America.</p>
<p>Since I’m technically 50% british (correct?) would my ethnicity change? would my heritage? Would I be considered european?</p>
<p>You’re a white American whose maternal roots are 1st gen immigrants and whose paternal roots are x gen immigrants.</p>
<p>If my white parent was born in Ghana, but I’m a white American, am I Ghanaian?</p>
