What's your take on some so called Taiwanese Americans that deny the term Chinese American and prefer Taiwanese American instead? Which to me I think is very foolish and stupid. Because the term Taiwanese to me is a nationality not a ethnicity. As for me my mother is from Taiwan and my father is from Southern China and I am very proud to consider myself 100% Chinese American! Oh and another thing what is your take on Jeremy Lin being called Taiwanese American instead of ABC?
Hey it's a Hong Kongese here lol glad that u r speaking Cantonese too xD well for me, when I was orderin my food in a Chinese restaurant, I didn't get into the kind of trouble u mentioned. I guess the reason is simply because I dun order like other hong long ppl, I tend to give the waiter enough time to get what I really want for heavens sake lol do wanna be ABC anyways lol
everything here is so true, i've seen or experienced everything here...only difference is that i'm mexican instead of chinese. but i can relate to just about everything here. i know fluent spanish cause of my parents, and i know english cause i was raised here.
you are absolutely right . don't forget who you are. you are Chinese forever even if you are born here. i have a daughter who came here when she was 8 . She grown up here and got american education. she do not accept Chinese culture. we educate her but useless. i hope someday she will know who she is . love your channel. you have my full support. check my videos if you can. subbed.
American always criticize Chinese Government, but at the same time encourage their army tortured their own soldiers of other race, namely Chinese race american soldier Mr. Danny Chen was tortured to death by their own country fellow army. So raping female army is tolerated in US army. Their act are similar to beasts without moral. So be advised americans stop criticizing other countries' government, but try to enhance your own government and people with such low moral standard. Shit!
I told ppl. that i served in the Navy for 4 yrs. They said:" Chinese Navy"? I told the university staff that i want a new ID, They asked me for my passport not my driver license. I was so confused. thinking...in my head...Am i in the airport now? WTF they ask me for my passport...who brings their passport around everyday.
dude, ur in seattle, at least u get some asian culture. i lived in Montana (i bet a ton of american doesn't even know Montana is a state in US. HAHAH!!!!!) for 8years (about half my life), and the other half in Minnesota. Chinese exposure=0% of my life (with the exception of tv). I am jealous of you. P.S. i can speak Cantonese fluently (but not as diligent as natives).
Easiest thing to say is just im chineze cuz thats what they expect to hear. I'm actually alright at chinese, but not perfect, but I'm fluent in japanese so i get hated on a bit. btw im abc
Lol, how come chinese ppl always leave out the small cock stereotype when they complain about racism? I mean cmon, we all know that is the most popular one... And im guessing most detramental lol.
Also i'm not white and i live in Australia so ppl often ask me what my nationality is, it isnt offensive u idiot they are just being friendly and want to know more about u... If u meet someone who looks similar to u i bet u ask where in Asia their herritage comes from, why be ashamed anyway?
@OnlinePokerCowboy I myself am an ABC, and when people ask my nationality, I do tell them I'm American, not Chinese. I am not a citizen of China. Now if people ask what ethnicity I am, then I'll say I'm Chinese.
And I don't think Steven is as much offended as he is annoyed. I can attest to it being annoying when it happens over and over and over, regardless of whether the person asking is being friendly or not.
@tristanhnl Ur sounding like a very self indulgent person whos way too sensitive, especialy when it comes to something as simple as ppl noticing u are not another 'white American', which u should be proud of, not annoyed by.
I was born here and im thankful im not white Australian, Australia is the best country to live in in the world imo but i think if ur parents are ethnic u get the best of both worlds. In other words i like being different, and so should u, always be proud of who u are.
@OnlinePokerCowboy I'm not offended at all, and I am indeed proud of my heritage. My heart swells with pride every time I go back to Hong Kong. The annoyance is with the repetitious asking, not of my own ethnicity. If I lived in a city or area in general that consist mostly of white people, I would be glad to answer as many times as people ask. But I don't, so it gets annoying. That probably doesn't make sense to you, but you need to be in my shoes, and live where I live to understand.
@OnlinePokerCowboy Oh okay, I just understood why you thought I'm not proud of being ethnic. I was merely trying to point out that by asking someone's nationality, you are actually asking what country that person is a citizen of. So, Mr. Poker, your nationality is Australian. Ethnicity is what most people are referring to when they say 'nationality'.
LOL Dude WORD! I'm an ABC and those sterotypes annoy the hell outta me. And LMAO "Oh oh so you're Chinese. For a moment there I thought you were Asian." xD
I was born in the United States but I grew up speaking Cantonese. My parents can barely speak English so I was able to maintain my Cantonese throughout the years by communicating with them. Unfortunately, I'm unable to speak Mandarin. I understand conversational Mandarin and can speak very little. Nowhere close to fluent though lol...
@stevenzhangmedia i mean your parent may be from hk, caz ur made an example in a hk style canteen for example.
i am from china mainland,and i saw lots of ABC in sydney. actually i think when ABCs meet, they aint willing to speak cantonese or manderin,even though they can speak it flently. maybe its because their mother tongue aint chinese``lol
@milestonenong I'm assuming most overseas chinese can use chopsticks when eating Chinese food. I hope they have sense of appreciation of Chinese culture too.
@stevenzhangmedia That's what I thought. I did not sound like Mandarin. Some of my friends are from Taiwan and China, and they always communicate with each other in Mandarin. They told me that only in a certain part of Southern China, people speak Cantonese.
hmm...so you're telling me to "pass away" just because I don't come from the "manland?" you're so cool. keep using your proxy to get on youtube while you're at it.
I'm an abc! Well not really born in america but basically grew up in Atlanta! Originally from Guangzhou and visiting relatives this summer after 10 years. Wish me luck with those disadvantages ! Do you speak mandarin btw? Cause I know that I'm Suppose to know Cantonese and mandarin haha
I'm Malaysian Chinese and it's worse for me. English is my 1st language, and we have to learn a 2nd language in school - Malay. I can't speak Mandarin or Cantonese, I do speak a Chinese dialect which is Hokkien, but not many people speak it. After living in Australia for 5 years, my Malay is rusty and I get comments from Malaysians: "You're not Chinese cause you can't speak Mandarin/Cantonese!" n "You're not Malaysian cause you can't speak Malay!" Lol at least I speak better English than y'all!
What's your take on some so called Taiwanese Americans that deny the term Chinese American and prefer Taiwanese American instead? Which to me I think is very foolish and stupid. Because the term Taiwanese to me is a nationality not a ethnicity. As for me my mother is from Taiwan and my father is from Southern China and I am very proud to consider myself 100% Chinese American!
