    I would like to say that Chinese comes first but I can't...

    My chinese isnt that good, I know no history of it really, I've only just started getting into the HK scene earlier this year so I would put myself as British first, plus english is my first language!

    I would like to be equal American and Chinese, but the fact is I was born in America so it would not be entirely right to consider myself Chinese since I do not live and breathe there. But, I do like and follow some Chinese culture, food, customs, etc.

    I really feel the dash part in American-Chinese. It seems most people don't consider me American nor Chinese.
