Question

What's more important, the place of birth or the ethnic origin?

Answer 1

Neither should really matter.  However, your ethnic origin will cause you to be judged quickly, whereas your birth place may not even be a factor.  I suppose it is not a matter of importance, but prevalence.

Answer 2

ethnic origin.

i'm the whitest person you'll ever meet, but what if my parents were missionaries in africa, and my mom gave birth to me there?

i don't think i'd be black.

haha.
