Do you consider yourself Chinese, if you werent born in China but your parents were?

I consider myself chinese.But born in ireland and parents from hk i donno
but 1 thing is for sure chinese blood runs thru me so i think im chinese

 

I consider myself Chinese, even If my parents were born in China and I was born in Hawaii

 

I would say i'm 100% chinese but born and raised in America.

absolutely! but i guess it depends on the person

 

i heard many people mention honkongnese, but people define them as chinese. - people with black hair, black eyes and slightly yellow skin. if your parents are one english and one chinese, then you are considered to be half chinese and half english. It actually runs in your blood depend what race are your parents.

 

I was born in china but left for the states at like 3yrs old and grew up in the states and conside myself a pure chinese , i mean i look chinese and i speak it although i can't wirte in chinese but i still consider myself purely chinese.Just consider myself corrupted by my lifestyle lol

 

maybe its just in australia, moreso maybe even just in melbourne. if you say your chinese the next question that would commonly come next would be "ARE YOU MAINLANDER?" and if you said "yes" everywhere and everyone would just go "ewww" which i dont udnerstand myself.

im ABC and im Half Hongkie and half Mainlander (guangzhou) but put simply i just say im chinese and proud of it =)

 

it doesnt seem as simple an answer with me. i was born and raised in the uk, but my parents are chinese. id say i was chinese but it would kind of depend on the people i was around, i dont mean that in a 'im not proud of who i am' sort of way, just that there are a lot of people who seem more chinese than i would consider myself, at least in terms of chinese culture.
simply though i see ethnicity and nationality as 2 seperate things, my nationality is british but ethnically in chinese.

 

A friend of mine once said she thinks of me as a totally Swede but I never even considered myself a Swede, even though in my mind and the way of thinking is a bit Swedish/ Western. I'd call myself a Western Chinese. ^^
Not that fond of Sweden either, maybe that's why I don't see myself as a Swede.

 

I was born in UK and definately don't consider myself as British but Chinese.. but I don't think I comfortably fit in either.. I'm a banana.

 

I was born in Vietnam but i still consider myself as Chinese because my grandfather is from China..

 

DEFINATELY consider myself chinese.
Grandparents born: China
Parents born: Vietnam
Me born: England

Nationally: British
Ethnically: Chinese/Vietnamese
Considered: Chinese

I speak ONLY chinese and not vietnamese, and my parents say to me we're chinese so I go with that, no point confusing people, I just call myself a BBC
British born Chink. x

 

lol so my parents are chinese and im just an australian born to chinese parents? lol Ofc im considered chinese, what else can i be refered to....... A aussie asian? lol

 

I consider myself Chinese. Born in Holland, but go to China/HK a lot. loving it more each time that i am there!

 

lol, mine's like yours...

only:
Grandparents - Hong Kong
Mum - Hong Kong
Dad - Vietnam
Me - S.Wales

and yeh, same as you what I speak.

And why wouldn't you conder yourself not chinese though if you WASN'T born in hong kong/china??

 

Im an ABC lol, but im still chinese all the way!

 

I consider myself American because i was born in America

 

I consider myself Chinese but just an American citizen. I was born in HK but live in US.
I feel bad for those who are Chinese but do not consider themselves Chinese. Just look in the mirror.

 

the ones who dont consider themselves chinese, are considered as stupid melons! lol.

 

My ancestors are 100% chinese so I don't think where I was born would affect what I am + I look sooo chinese =)
