Nizhny Tagil (Urals)

Yes, the place where I was born indeed belongs to Asia. According to wikipedia:

Nizhny Tagil (Russian: Нижний Тагил) is a city in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. Population: 390,498 (2002 Census); 439,521 (1989 Census). The city is situated some 25 kilometers (16 mi) east of the virtual border between Europe and Asia.

Thus I am Asian in more than one way. Actually, I don't belong to any place or group of people. It was not in my cards.
