I always found it mildly funny when US-Americans told me that they were German when, to me as a German, it is a rather strange idea to think of it as some sort of ethnicity/heritage rather than a nationality.

Because they’re nationalities, not ethnicities. “English” is a nationality because you can still tell the difference between the Normans, Celts, Saxons, Northumbrians etc
