@quantumcodex , culturally, Hong Kong people could not be more different from Mainland chinese people. While we speak Cantonese, it is so different from Mainland Chinese, our education, culture, beliefs and traditions have set us apart and we see ourselves as a distinct society.
People shouldn't really be shocked by this. Its no different from people of African or Caribbean descent coming from America; everyone accepts and understands it. But because something like this is less common; people question it.
@luf4rall I think the reason for Sharon's accent being better is because Sharon is a native Cantonese speaker; she was born and raised there; therefore, she speaks Cantonese like any other native-born speaker, but her English has a Cantonese accent. I think Corrina was born in Australia but grew up in HK, but she speaks Aussie English and Cantonese.
I see Sharon as Chinese, no matter which continent or race or ethnic or culture she come from. If she or anyone grew up in China or HK and adpoted the way of life there and have Chinese passport, they are Chinese.
@IKNFLY666 I am not sure whether that is the case, but I heard the Chinese communist party is kind of racist and officially declare only a Chinese can be Hong Kongness or Taiwanese. It is quiet offensive, at Taiwan we would just tell the CCP to shut it, in response to statement like that. But I dated a white Taiwanese girl once (born and grew up there) and occassionally, I get a Chinese person saying she can not be Taiwanese because she isn't Chinese, it was really offensive
@juiweiYang2000 i don't know about what CCP officially declared, but two things to consider;
1) the constitution of PRC should, ideally, the final interpretation of citizenship, which state all person holding PRC passport is citizen of PRC, regardless of race.
2) there are non-Chinese looking minorities living in frontier provinces, eg Uyghur and Kazakh turks, if CCP declare a racially base citizenship, this will become a justification of minority separatist movement.
@IKNFLY666 Well, I am not 100% certain about whether the CCp said something like that either, but at least we know the PRC are not racist on a constiutional level.
Nothing special, there are so many Asians born in Europe or USA and they all are able to speak English very fluent. The fact that she is born in HK doesnt make it any different.
Sharon really has acquired some Chinese values -- she says she lives with her mother-in-law. She cherishes the New Year celebration. That's the 'wow' factor, not just only her mastery of Cantonese.
people say they're amazed. I'm not. Why should I? I'm chinese and was born in north america, but people around me don't come up and say "wow, your english is good"..except for the time when I was in a strip club and the stripper said that my accent was pretty good (whatever the hell that means. I didn't care. she had nice boobies).
@cjason123 well the majority of the population in hong kong is cantonese, and are genetically chinese. any other ethnicity visiting hong kong does not usually speak canto in any form, especially well.
@rivengle Genetics has nothing to do with learning a language. How well a person speaks is a mixture of their social surroundings, their interactions with peers, and how and where they were brought up, basically. She was brought up in HK, therefore, she speaks HK Cantonese as opposed to Mainland Cantonese (which is more formal and doesn't contain the HK slang ).
@rivengle I think language has nothing to do with genetics. It's how well someone teaches you and how much a person uses it, with a mixture of the social surroundings.
i don't understand why whenever a white person can speak fluent chinese, people are like WOW..but it's considered common for asians to speak fluent Eng..
@TheHairluver Agree she is definitly Chinese, but I guess sometime people of minortiy raace can have identity crisis, unless the nation officially declare themselve as multiculture or multiracial on a government level
@DanielaRSandraBFan Nan, Chamberlain is a pop star "Although i don't think she is main stream", Balcombe is a priest "She look a bit like a older version of Emma Watson though"
Wasn't she born in Hong Kong and didn't she go to school there? If so, I don't see what the big deal is. It's no different than the process any native speaker goes through.
I attended high school in Macau from HK. Saw some beautiful Portugees from another high school walking by and made a remark about them in Cantonese to my buddies. The girls turn around and confronted us and demanded an appology from me, or else! I was shocked because they spook perfect Cantonese and they cursed nastier then us. I appologized to them and later on we all became friends. Then I found out they were 4th generations in Macau...I learned not to prejudge (prejudice) from that on....
what is the big deal she can speak fluent cantonese, if she started early in life speaking that dialect and has a ear for listening and understanding it, then it is no wonder that she can be an expert at it. practice, practice, practice and it dosen't hurt if u have a good hearing abilities and can distinguish the various tones in that dialect, more power to her, lol.
why is everyone amazed? * points at title * that's her native language. Just because she's white doesn't mean she can't learn to speak Cantonese exactly like a chinese person.
@zhuzhipeng100 How is she result of UK ruling hong kong? just an american migrant. Why don't you talk about the romans and viking ruling UK which resulted in linguistic relation with latin, or perhaps you're an mandarin north chinese ruled by many northern nomadic empires.
Shalom sister Sharon, You look like as me. My parent are Chinese, but I was born in Venezuela. And about 16, my father send me to study Chinese in H.K. So I can speak like you. And now I am also a Christian, ALELUYA! San Chuk Fuc Lei ! Jeje!
Man she's in it. Even when she speaks English it has the tones. Great stuff. As someone white from Hong Kong and raised in English schools... I don't have an accent just like this lady but I don't have her vocabulary. It's not as weird as Chinese people think. There is no reason a white person shouldn't be able to speak perfectly. In the future you will see a lot more of this. It's just that the English are terrible linguists!
wow, my friend said her cantonese is so good. It is amazing. Not looking at her face, I thought she is chinese for sure. She is very talented in speech.
Her Cantonese is 100 times better than mine, and I'm Chinese. Good for her. This would've been better had it not been for all the religious crap. Thumbs down.
@garyisanape Heh.. When a foreigner doesnt speak chinese everyone gets angry about them coming in and dont even trying to learn the language and culture. When a foreigner does speak chinese people start calling them "EGG". pfftt... Thats a retared term.
There is a great deal of novelty in seeing this caucasian woman speaking fluent Chinese. Why? Because just being born in Hong Kong and growing up there does not automatically mean an American or British person will also learn Chinese - I would guess, in fact, that most such people did NOT end up learning Cantonese, but instead were educated in English.
@myfunkychannel Not sure what you're tryin' to say, but yes. Speaking 2 languages is always cool. Just making the observation that people are more impressed with a white person that speaks Chinese cuz they're born in HK, than with a Chinese person speaking English cuz they are born in the states.
@dman19851996 You and I both, except I'm technically full-cantonese, which makes it all the more shameful. I only can get the gist of what she's saying using words I know, context clues, and the scenes they show XD.

@s33thr3w Actually China is more diverse than most other countries, esp USA, with her 56 ethnicities. Each ethnic language is quite different from the other. White ppl r quite common in HK since it used to be a brit colony. Still the fact that she can speak good cantonese and perhaps mandarin means that she must hve had the interest and had sustained efforts, because a westerner can just get by in HK without really having to know Cantonese since English is the lingua franca.
@s33thr3w I wouldn't say China is less diverse than other places--they have 56-58 ethnicities.

I think to HK people, this would be a bit weird but not that weird.
@tinfoilandy ahh.. i'm chinese malaysian lol.. i guess you could say i'm very asian? lol.. i thought you guys would use 'twinkie' instead of 'banana' heheh...
@tinfoilandy hahah.. i wouldn't say i'm a twinkie cos I didn't grow up in a white community.. but i wont say i'm full yellow either cos I don't speak Mandarin/Cantonese very fluently, its my third language here lol. Banana would be about right, yellow outside, less yellow inside LOL!
Does Cantonese/Chinese people ever pressure you to fully assimilate or expect you to speak a perfect Cantonese and if you dont, will they treat you like a foreigner ?
no matter how hard you try to be nice with them. I am merely doing this to do some comparative analysis between POC in American versus non-asian living in their country
my HK friend who stay in malaysia for more than 15 years also speaking cantonese that have malay accent....another friends' wife (vietnamese) also can speak perfect malay and mandarin after she married to his husband and stay here for more than 10 years....
i just noticed some of these foreign cantonese speakers are from an evangelical background. Have you ever noticed the Mormon preachers in the streets of HK always speak excellent Cantonese?
@melvinchen83 You must be intellectually disabled to say she is not native. I feel like a big idiot to even reply to you, and I can tell you say this comment because you assume white skin = english speaker. Get a life dude.
@turbobenx, not really, around 1000AD, there are 1000 times more foreigners in Tang and Song China than it is right now. It become a lot lot less around 1500 to 1600 and even less around 1800s. And now it is just on the way of getting back to Tang and Song's peak of internationalism.
The "christians" and "muslims" will NEVER understand what I'm saying as they're too BRAINWASHED and locked into their "superiority" to understand the Chinese culture and civilization is immune to YOUR "superiority" as the Chinese ACTUALLY LOOK DOWN ON YOU.
Sorry but the middle-east desert "religions" have been trying at China for most of 2000 years and the desert "religions" have NEVER made any SERIOUS inroads into Chinese civilization/culture.
Sorry but Chinese culture/civilizations is SO highly evolved and highly developed and successful that the middle east desert religions simply hold no lure for the VAST MAJORITY of Chinese as, if anything, would be a retrogressing or devolving of the Chinese civilizations.
@lukebccb, dude, are you kidding me! Dont you know what the Hui is? Islam has as much influence in China as Buddhism has. The only difference is that Islam is much more stricter than Buddhism.
If you were born in HK, u better be able to speak Cantonese. It is also expected that you speak ENGLISH in AMERICA!!! not that wetback shit, even though I know Espanol. I also speak French, German
That's why Chinese government is not allowing Christianity to flourish in China, because China would be a more Christian country than the USA, lol. Praise the Lord!

Does Cantonese/Chinese people ever pressure you to fully assimilate or expect you to speak a perfect Cantonese and if you dont, will they treat you like a foreigner ?
no matter how hard you try to be nice with them. I am merely doing this to do some comparative analysis between POC in American versus non-asian living in their country

@yarahahrwe What in the world does race have to do with linguistic ability? If she was born and raised Canto, why wouldn't she be able to speak it?
That's like an Asian being born and raised in the USA and not being able to speak English. -__-

It's really not that surprising nowadays. But back in the 1600s and before, that would be like "what in the blue hell"?

@turbobenx, not really, around 1000AD, there are 1000 times more foreigners in Tang and Song China than it is right now. It become a lot lot less around 1500 to 1600 and even less around 1800s. And now it is just on the way of getting back to Tang and Song's peak of internationalism.

The "christians" and "muslims" will NEVER understand what I'm saying as they're too BRAINWASHED and locked into their "superiority" to understand the Chinese culture and civilization is immune to YOUR "superiority" as the Chinese ACTUALLY LOOK DOWN ON YOU.

Sorry but the middle-east desert "religions" have been trying at China for most of 2000 years and the desert "religions" have NEVER made any SERIOUS inroads into Chinese civilization/culture.
Sorry but Chinese culture/civilizations is SO highly evolved and highly developed and successful that the middle east desert religions simply hold no lure for the VAST MAJORITY of Chinese as, if anything, would be a retrogressing or devolving of the Chinese civilizations.

@lukebccb, dude, are you kidding me! Dont you know what the Hui is? Islam has as much influence in China as Buddhism has. The only difference is that Islam is much more stricter than Buddhism.

神很奇妙，祂透過教會一個弟兄的親戚，他在台灣當醫生的
，懂得中西醫術。他回香港，剛好那次找著他，他配了些中藥給我，我不知是因為那些中藥，還是弟兄們祈禱的力量所致，才一個星期，一天醒來，完全康復，到現在已是九年，再沒翻發。
(END....) Hope you enjoy.
