just wondering if anyone has ever come across "chinese posers" like ppl that state they are chinese but are of different ethnicity? from my own experiences i have so far came across 2 "posers" 1. the first "poser" that i've came across was this vietnamese guy that i use to go to high school with, and because i'm in university rite now, i've came across him one day after being in the same lab room, so we started talkin and i asked him wut his nationality was, and in response he said that he was Chinese! and because i wasn't very close with him yet, i was just kinda like "ok cool" but after a couple weeks later, wen i was fairly close to him as a friend, i asked him wut dialect of chinese he spoken so perhaps i could talk to him using chinese, he said he "forgot" , so i asked if it was cantonese or mandarin, he said neither, and after further "interrogation" with him ...lol.....he finally admitted that he is VIETNAMESE, and speaks only vietnamese and english! 2. the second incident was with this chick that my friend use to go out with (but was only for like 3 weeks..haha), she was kinda short about 5'1, had a slim figure, and her skin colour was kinda like a light brown colour. so that first time that i was introduced to her by my friend, she said that she was Chinese, so then naturally i asked her wut dialect of chinese she speaks, and she says she doesn't speak chinese, i was like "oh okay" and then i asked where her parents are from, and to my amazement none of them even came from china,hongkong, or taiwan, she told me her dad was from the phillipines, and her mom was from vietnam, and she was BORN in the PHILIPINESE! and at that point i was like dumbfounded, and i'm thinking to my self "and how are you even relatively related to being chinese?" well those are the 2 posers that i have met and seen so far, how about you guys and gals? have you ever met anyone like that b4? share your experiences
i having the same experience with that when i was in high school..the guy act like a fuckin thug ....and when everybody talking about raises ethnicity and color of his skin he said he is white.and i said to myself what are u a "poser" wannabe or something and most of the guy are white .....this guy want to be like white people and act like a black guy ....and then i see the guy was a chinese..and i quite confused saying to myself.."what is this guy a poser or something ..or is he really want to suck his life all over his place...what a chinese jerk..dont offend anyone just as the same experience what i want to tell to anyone..not to everyone..ok..
hehe. Well, sometimes people THINK they are chinese because that;s their roots. It may not be their parents, but great great grandparents.
lols i know you what you mean its just some people prefer certain nationalities and culture they try so hard being one of them, jus never met anyone admitting to being one lols.
=.= why would they lie about their ethnicity though? are they like ashamed or embarassed/humiliated about their ethnicity? >.>" thats badd.
i know a lot of chinese ppl who want to be jap. I'm chinese by the way, some of the chinese ppl i talk to want to jap and that to me is fucked up. Anyways i lost a lot of respect for those ppl.
hehe. I know some vietnamese ppl call themselves chinese and then go around causing trouble. They also tell ppl they are Chinese, so the Chinese are blamed and not the Vietnamese. It is the perception that they are playing. I think I can spot the asian ethnicity very easily...as soon as they speak b/c most have a distinct accent. Unless they were born in NA. But then there characters shows.
maybe they 'pose' becuz they desperately want to be your friend. but yeah. wut fags. i pose too. i pose as half brown hahaa
This is the first time I've heard about people "posing" as Chinese. Meh, my school has only 10 asians in total so yeah...
well about people who are blood chinese but grew up in another country yet still claim themselves chinese. Would you say thats poser?
with your vietnamese friend... maybe he's actually chinese.. but was just born in Vietnam and only speaks that.. =/ I don't really see "chinese poser" tho...
I'm chinese. I was born in Malaysia and so were my parents. That doesn't make me Malay. we're Malaysian-chinese or Overseas Chinese. No, being malaysian chinese doesn't mean that I'm not pure chinese. I'm chinese, just that i wasn't born nor have I ever lived in China/HK/Taiwan. I do speak a dialect though. =D I don't speak mandarin either because I never studied the language and my parents never spoke the language with me so i never picked it up.
