Oh, of course. I'm most definitely only 50% "Québécois de souche" (and have always known and admitted that). That's cold hard fact and no amount of wishful thinking on my part will ever change that.
Now, do I think less of myself because of that? No. Do I feel unwelcome in the province? No.
I'm Québécois though. Just not full "de souche".
Just like if I moved to Poland and permanently settled there and married a Polish girl and became fluent in the language, I'd be "Polish" at that point, but I would never ever be an "old stock ethnic Pole" at any point in the rest of my life even if I live to be 120 years old.
