(1) Just a cultural note that may interest you.
(2) If you visit the United States, be careful about asking someone about
his/her "nationality."
(3) For some people, this is just another way to ask about a person's
race. Most people do not want to ask "What is your race?" because it
sounds so direct and rude. So some people use (incorrectly) the word
"nationality."
