From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On identifying John Derbyshire as "British": He is a naturalized U.S. citizen and consistently refers to himself as an American, rather than British. These matters of ethnic identification on Wikipedia tend to be quite contentious.

For example http://www.nationalreview.com/thecorner/05_03_20_corner-archive.asp#059197 - A post by Derbyshire entitled "FEEBLE, LANGUID, SEMI-SERIOUS DEFENSE OF THE BRITS" which continues "Don't know why I should bother, since I'm not one of them any more..." -- Writtenonsand (talk) 00:36, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
