You know, I don't want to be a party pooper, but I'm wondering if this thread is subtly enabling stereotypes. I see so many people saying "I feel British" or "I feel American" and it makes me think that these answers are a result of people interpreting their behaviours in the context of stereotypes. For example "I feel Spanish. I need a siesta." or "I feel British *drinks tea*." Not every Spaniard takes an afternoon siesta and not every British individual drinks tea.

What I'm trying to say is that there are typically too many different people with different identities and different behaviours and traits to have a single overarching culture that defines a single nation. Ergo, to say you feel British simply because you are drinking tea would be stereotypical.

I understand where you are coming from with this, but I suppose if no one has said anything about it or complained or expressed concern to a staff member, I suppose it isn't a problem. I still understand where you are coming from though.
