What catagory would someone fit in if he or she is 100% Teo Chow (Chinese), born in Vietnam, grew up in the Brooklyn, NY and now speaking multi-languages??? Well, some would answer Chinese, other would say Vietnamese. The American would say, it doesn't matter...as long as you have citizenship, you're an AMERICAN!!!

How's about asking what "nationality are you?" instead?

Me = 100% Chinese,

but can't read any complete Chinese sentences, just some characters!

Ethnicity? Well I'm glad you're precise. Somebody asks "race" then I usually give them a number of answers to mess with their head.

Ethnically, I'm Bengali. My parents (back to my great-great-grandparents) are all from Bangladesh. I think I have one great-great-grandmother from Burma (father's father's father's father's wife), but that's it. I was born and raised in the great city of Nashville, Tennessee. I don't speak Bengali, but Spanish and Japanese instead. KF

There should be a multi-racial option on there. Half Japanese and half Euromix here. That's what the American ethnicity will eventually be. Mix of just about any ethnic combination you can imagine.

seems like majority is chinese, well i know theres twdrama but is there vdrama? or like m(malaysian)drama? or do you guys mostly just watch jdrama or kdrama?

I thought this part of wiki about ethnic koreans was very interesting

East. In 1937, Stalin deported approximately 200,000 ethnic Koreans to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, on the official premise that the Koreans might act as spies for Japan. There is also a separate ethnic Korean community in the Russian island of Sakhalin, where Koreans brought in by Japan as labourers were stranded after the island came into Soviet hands after World War II.

As of January 1, 1998, 1,123,200 ethnic Koreans lived in Uzbekistan, amounting to 4.7% of the total country's population.

Probably as a consequence of these ethnic ties, South Korea was the second import partner of Uzbekistan, after Russia, and one of its largest foreign investors. The car manufacturer Daewoo set up a joint venture (August 1992) and a factory in Asaka city, Andizhan province, in Uzbekistan.

I didn't know there were so many koreans in those highly arab countries. wonder what its like for them there. wouldn't it be weird to meet a korean from uzbekistan? i wonder if they know korean culture still? like do they speak korean and eat galbi and stuff. what a big world i guess you learn something new all the time.

midnightblue · Post by **midnightblue** » Jan 30th, '05, 00:06

I'm wondering if everybody realises that ethnicity is about cultural groups and not so much about race.

So for example a Sinoid person born and raised in Europe living as a European should probably fill in European and a Negroid person born and raised in Japan living as a Japanese Japanese.

I think it all depends on which group you feel in your heart you belong to the most.

karenly: You're Hmong? That's awesome! Are you American-born, or did you immigrate? I know that they're not well known in most of the country, but some areas have pretty sizable populations of ethnic Hmong.

I should probably specify that we don't have large Hmong populations around here, though. I go to UNC (which has a summer reading program for all incoming freshmen), and the book my year was The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. It got me interested in the Hmong. I do know that we have at least a couple Hmong students.

I'm Chinese but i don't understand Cantonese at all. I can barely read Chinese too (flunked it in high school) as my parents don't speak dialect or mandarin. If a series is in Mandarin, i'll understand half of it so i still need eng subtitles to fully understand the show.

I love Hong Kong tv series but cannot get most of them coz they're with Chinese subs (pointless for me coz i need to pause for a couple of minutes every line to read, then i probably won't understand half of it).

To the Chinese community, please please help!!
