The part cracks me up is the girl said she is half Cantonese. When US becomes a shameful ethnicity, we might hear someone say "I'm half Californian, half Mexican."

[DragonOfQin]

alot of ppl wont know what Taiwanese means too.

[taiwanese2037]

Wrong!

Australians also has origin from England ( UK), but they are Australians , not English

Similarly, Canadian is Canadian, not English or French, although most of them has origin from England or France.

American is also same case.

And although Taiwanese has origin from South China , but Taiwanese is still Taiwanese, not Chinese.

[RussX5Z]

You're Chinese too idiot. Because Taiwanese originally is Chinese by ethnicity. You're a Chinese person first and a Taiwanese second! Don't forget that!! And don't forget your roots!!

[taiwanese2037]

You are Chinese, and you are not Taiwanese

Truly, Chinese is Chinese, Taiwanese is Taiwanese. Don;t wrong my friend !

[RussX5Z]

Exactly. And hey I'm Chinese myself and I think that Taiwanese, Chinese from China, Chinese from Singapore, Chinese from Hong Kong, etc. look exactly the same. Other than their fashion and style.

[RussX5Z]

If you press mute you won't be able to tell the physical difference between a Chinese from China or a Taiwanese. Other than their fashion I guess. So quit the whining and just call yourself Chinese you stupid self hating Chinese people! And quit making things more complicated than it already is! Cause why should you base your beliefs on politics? Because that's what Taiwan is all about... politics. And all politicians are liars the majority of the time or should I say all the time.

[RussX5Z]

Exactly!!!! The people in this video here don't realize how much of a big retard they actually sound like. Its like people from China are saying we are not Oriental we are East Asian. Its like duh same thing. =)

[KoreansDoItBest]

Also, if someone says "I'm Asian" and people think they all eat dogs, bad drivers, and have small dicks does that mean "Asians" are going to stay they're something else? actually come to think of it, that's why Filipinos do call themselves "Pacific Islanders" hahaha

[KoreansDoItBest]

That is dumb and weak-minded mentality. So should I start referring to my self as "Seoulrean" just because someone might mistake me as a communist from North Korea? NO. That's just adding ignoring to more ignorance. Imagine if Barack Obama decided he should never be President just because people thought Blacks could never achieve such political status. BETTER YET, imagine if Jeremy Lin just decided to go to school and never play basketball because people thinks ASIANS cant play at ALL.

[DragonOfQin]

I live in the US too and most ppl dont knw what Taiwanese mean. Its probaly cuz I live in a white area.

[tiffanyk0915]

Umm well most people do. They just don't know where specifically it's at.

This is from my experience of living in the US. I can't say for sure anywhere else.
