Expats "define" themselves by their nationality, yet the people of the same nationality in their home countries don't.
I'm from the UK and I define myself as English when I'm in Thailand.
Yet, when I'm in England, I'm just another Englishman amongst millions of others. Then we start to define ourselves by region ie. Londoner, Scouser, Geordie etc.
It's only expats that define themselves by their nationality.
