Actually, if both the kid's parents are not German, and the kid was born in Germany, that kid will not be considered a German citizen. That's because Germany adopts the jus sanguinis principle. You are a German citizen if you have a German parent, no matter where you was born.
The U.S adopts jus soli, u.s citizens are those who are born in the United States.

America is not a country. It's a continent that includes North, Central and South American. United States of America is a country.
[QUOTE=NewYorkNoPicks]The United States is a melting pot, a place that (aside from "native americans") does not have a specific ethnicity/nationality connected to it.
Russia is mainly filled with Russians, China is mainly filled with Chinese, Germany is mainly filled with native Germans.
Dirk plays for the German team, is considered German, but has a Polish last name. Considering that Germany is a place that has a specific group of people attached to it, unlike the melting pot that is the U.S....my question is legitimate.[/QUOTE]

We are not in 1945. Germany is mixed with ethnicities. I guess Hitler is turning in his grawe.
[QUOTE=NewYorkNoPicks]Dirk's last name is not German at all, I'm pretty confident that it is of Slavic/Polish origin.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is he only half German? Or did his family just live in Germany without having any German heritage?
Always have wondered about this[/QUOTE]
Germany is next to Poland. Also, large areas around the border have been both Polish and German in quite recent history.
AND how can Americans have Irish surnames when they're not Irish?
Nowitzkis ancestors are from Danzig/Koenigsberg. Former East-Prussia and part of the German Reich during the Nazi reign. Today it belongs to Poland (K

Who cares what happened in 1700's, I simply showed an example of Poland being taken over by German and Russian forces, which is the most recent thing in history, which could have played a role with Dirk's father and mother....if its because his great, great, great grandfather crossed the border and married a german lady then so be it.....I never said this was "the reason"
:facepalm is this for real? just beacuse his like great great grandfather could of been from somwhere diffrent dosent make him german :facepalm
better question is why is the sky blue?
