I was just wondering, what nationality was John? Does anyone here know? Not like Religion, meaning was he greek, Italian, dutch, etc.

He was American!!!

Duh! I know that. :rolleyes: Was he Italian, Scottish, German, Irish. :jack

Well then that's HERITAGE, not nationality right? Duh! :rolleyes:

I think they were British, possibly with some Scottish mixed in. I'd have to confirm that though.

Thank you. I was hoping for a straight answer. :)

Well excuuuuuse me for trying to kid around a bit. :snob:


Besides, there IS a difference between the two terms.

I thought it was ~ sheesh!! Besides, I AM Canadian, so it IS remotely possible that he could have been too - afterall, we gave you guys Michael J. Fox, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion, Lorne Green, Mike Myers, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas.....just to name a few!

His last name is German I think...

Yea, I was thinking he was German too. I either thought he was like British, Canadian, or Germany.

Apparently it was Dutch heritage. I just googled his dad, Tex Ritter and there's some memorial to him in the shape of a Windmill in Nederland, Texas.


Bet his mom was American tho!! :lol:

Sorry, I thought you were serious. My bad.

peacesign: We're cool. You'll get used to my warped sense of humor after a while. (Although it is true that he could have been a Canadian)!

Its true tho I've found in North America, we tend to say our heritages rather than nationalities even though we might be second and third generation Americans or Canadians. Technically that makes us solidly either American or Canadian, but when asked, we'll say what our ancestors were. I think we're the only two countries in the world that do that. Wonder why?

So it sounds like he was a mixture, in other words, a mut, like me! Very interesting :grineyes: :jack

I think most of us who are second and third generation "North Americans" are mutts!! Maybe that's why we tend to say what our heritages were instead of American or Canadian. Although of course if we're travelling elsewhere in the world, we'll then say American or Canadian. ;)
