Wales is part of Britian. That would be like saying “Oh, he’s a New Yorker? I thought he was American”.

Don’t most people from Wales consider themselves Welsh rather than British? Or is that just how Scotland and Ireland are?

Sorta different, but more “Oh he’s Texan? I thought he was American” because Texans don’t want to be American.

You should say that about Americans; people still say the state for EU states
