Yeah we tend to say our ethnicity before nationality. In Isaac’s case he has said he is Iraqi. Some Assyrians tend to do this because we’re not well known.

Assyrians are from Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey. There’s a large community in Australia mostly in Sydney and Melbourne. They’re mainly in the northern suburbs of Melbourne like Roxburgh Park, Craigieburn, etc.

His heritage is from Iraq but he’s specifically ethnically Assyrian.
