What kind of overseas Chinese do you consider yourself to be?

Seeing that most of us are Chinese living overseas, how do you view yourself?

 

I VOTE for ..Chinese first and then [the nationality of the country I was born in/moved to] second (ie. Canadian)


CHINESE...USA

 

Chinese first and then British

 

ermm... not reallt thought about it but when its in your face i guess i see myself as chinese first and then the nationality i was born in so...

chinese.... british

 

well Chinese then british. i wouldn't see myself equal.

 

Chinese the Canadian -lol "Go Canada"

 

i say both because i am born in my america but i'm also chinese. that's the truth and i can't break both bonds. i'm born and raised by both equally.

 

Almost everyone would put Chinese first if they had to write it down on a piece of paper.

 

i want chines ppl to over populate canada hahaha

 

I'd have to say I'm chinese/vietnamese first then british

 

HAHA! Yes I totally agree with you!!! I can't wait till Chinese people take over Canada! I think last census/statistics, there's somewhere around 1 million-something Chinese people in Canada.

 

chines ppl r everywher in toronto and vancouver...but not "cha's" r taking over..its so sad....more hk ppl should immigrate to toronto

 

me Chinese then Aussie... v

 

Chinese then British lol

 

From wikipedia.com according to a 2001 Stats Can Census:

Major cities
Toronto, Ontario - 259,710 (out of 2,481,494) - 10.4%
Vancouver, British Columbia - 161,110 (545,671) - 29.5%
Calgary, Alberta - 51,545 (993,200) - 5.1%
Edmonton, Alberta - 39,860
Ottawa, Ontario - 27,680
Montreal, Quebec - 23,270
Winnipeg, Manitoba - 10,890

Suburbs
Richmond, British Columbia - 64,270
Markham, Ontario - 62,355
Burnaby, British Columbia - 50,135
Mississauga, Ontario - 35,955
Richmond Hill, Ontario - 28,760
Coquitlam, British Columbia - 19,940
Surrey, British Columbia - 16,480

This is not accurate (but gives you a rough idea) -- there's way more. For example, I know that Winnipeg now has 20,000 Chinese people at least. And Toronto has at least 300,000.

 

I chose equal... but maybe a little more Chinese... eh
But in my town, so many Chinese. Like, in my school, most are from China. I know of no one from Hong Kong... all are from China... and speak Mandarin... I know of only like 5 people or so that speak Cantonese. Including me. In my school... that's just sad...
