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

I cannot disagree even though I am not from China and I don't read and write Chinese well.

 

i consider myself chinese even tough i'm not associated with China. I guess it's only natural for all chinese people around the world

 

I look Chinese. I speak Chinese. I have conservative Confucian values. My main source of music is from HK. I prefer TVB series over US shows. I prefer Chinese movies over Hollywood. I have read more about Chinese history and culture than any other culture on Earth. I tell people, when they ask, that I'm Chinese.

But when it comes down to the crunch. I'll be supporting Australia in the Beijing Olympics.

So I'm an Aussie. Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!

Even though I wasn't born here, but as soon as I was naturalized at the age of 2, I've pledged my allegiance to my adopted country. And I've thought about this too. If China was to go to war against Australia, I would back Australia. Who would you back? You're adopted country or your mother country?

 

I don't see myself as chinese but hongkonese

 

My nationality is Chinese Canadian. So if Canada recognizes my culture than and says I'm Chinese than that means I should consider myself to be also Chinese.

 

My nationality is british but my ethnic origin is chinese. My parents are both chinese, even though my mum was born in vietnam, both her parents are chinese. So yeh, i consider myself chinese - british chinese - but chinese nonetheless

 

yup chinese for sure

 

I consider myself chinese. born in China and raised in Europe. At home we only speak chinese which is definitely a plus.

 

I definitely consider myself chinese....even though I am cbc....what disturbs me are people who deny their own culture and act all western.

 

My ancestors are 100% chinese so I consider myself Chinese. anyway people see be as Chinese frist anyways .

 

I guess I could call myself Asian American. And yeah my parents were born in Hong Kong and not China but they consider themselves Chinese so that makes me Chinese as well because that's where my heritage is from.

Yeah I wasn't born in China or Hong Kong or grow up in that environment I still think I was brought up somewhat differently than American kids, so yeah I'm Chinese .

 

i born in indonesia but i consider myself as chinese,,,

 

of course! what's with the thing about not considering yourself as chinese when you're not born in China? if you're born in china it makes you a china nationality and not neccessarily a chinese if you're from other races. i am born and raised in msia and i don't consider myself as a chinese because i am a chinese.

 

definitely! i am pure chinese. no mix blood or whatsoever.

 

I consider myself Chinese. But my friends from Hong Kong consider me as American. Americans consider me Chinese before American.

 

hehe we are all bananas, yellow skin but white inside : )

 

All my ancestors are chinese, however, my current generation are all westernized, except for me, because I still have some beliefs that are more in line with those in asian countries.

 

of course!! everyone in my family is chinese.. if i wasnt chinese i dont know what race i can be.. i dont look like anything else beside chinese...

 

yep i'm 100% chinese

 

yes u are chinese its the same w/ alot of ppl
