Chinese..... and I tend to leave out the canadian, not purposely. Hockey's so ehh... and in Vancouver and surrounding suburbs (aka Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby), chinese are highest percentage wise at more or less 30% aprox, compared to gui lou/a'cha/etc The article was from the newspaper, probably 2005/2006.
wat am i? i was born in canada and moved to china when i was 1 and then came bak to canada at 5?? -_-
sorry to disagree with the majority... Belgian first, with Chinese roots... born and raised in Belgium... But I love HK and I'm proud of my Chinese roots though
lol, that's why my parents wanted us to move out of malton (the part of mississauga that's next to the airport)
Chinese first then Canadian The two are almost equal now, since I think equally in English and Cantonese nowadays and I lost track of the Hong Kong culture.
i choose the first option...i consider myself chinese then follow with american....Chinese American eheh
You all need to be clearer in your thoughts Hi, many of you are using nationality, country, race interchageably when they mean different things country Nationality people race USA American American Indian, Red India, Chinese...or an immigrant group(e.g.Irish, Hispanic, Italian, German, Chinese....) PRC Chinese Chinese or one of the ethnic groupls (miao, korean...han...) Taiwan Taiwanese Taiwanese or one of the ethnic groups..... Canada Canadian Canadian or one of the immigrant ethnic groups or an Indian A chinese race person with American nationality is NOT Chinese in PRC, he is an alien and a foreigner in China. When war comes anywhere in the world this person is conscripted into the US Army and fight for Uncle Sam and USA (not China)!
I'm Chinese-American, but I speak English more (and better) than I speak Chinese and I know that if I go to China or HK, they know I'm not "native." So yeah, I'm ethnically Chinese and look Chinese, but I'm mostly American.
For one, I've rarely (actually, never) heard anyone call themselves American-Chinese; it's always Chinese American. But, I think that I am split right down the middle - a Chinese background and family, but raised American. So .. yeah. I wouldn't consider myself more Chinese than American. Also, like NYGirl said, they'd know that I'm not "native." ^^;
Easiest way to tell, what language do you think in? I think in English, simply because it's easier and plus I was born in Britain so that makes me a BBC and that's not the television network. -unsure
