Just Two Kinds of People in the World

[supergee]

Here’s an interesting distinction: Somewheres vs. Anywheres. Somewheres are loyal to their place of origin; Anywheres have other identifications.

By ancestry I’m what Steve Bannon might call a rootless cosmopolitan, and when we Jews got our own Somewhere, it didn’t matter much to me, though I’m glad it’s there for them as wants it. Forty years ago, I joined the Anywhere tribe known as Fandom, and since then I’ve had neighbors all over the world.

Rooted is what vegetables are; grounded is what gets you killed when lightning strikes. I’m an Anywhere

I'm a Brit but the ancestry goes something like English, Scottish, Welsh, Breton, Italian, Latvian Jewish and Romani.

I also spent time living in Belgium.

I guess 'mongrel' will do! That or citizen of the world. :o)
