It can go either way, really. No one's opinions matter here unless its the majority. When that is determined, that is what they are. Not even the people in question can declare it for themselves. I would argue you are more your lineage than your nationality. See how we track various groups migration across the world, thousands of miles, thousands of years, with no problem. But at the same time, I don't consider myself very aligned with my own lineage, and I describe myself as 100% "American". But, given enough time, if my bones were to be put on display a few hundred years from now, with all written record of me being lost, I would probably be referred to as something a bit different than what I declare as myself.
