I live in Germany, but wish I didn't. It just gets on my nerves (BIG TIME), when people call me "German". Just because I live in Germany, does not mean that I am German. I am American, period.JesusFreak777 wrote:why do you wish to forget the German?Posted: 15 Apr 2005 05:20 pm Post subject:

I am American, with a lot of German heritage, although I would rather forget about that part. I would rather not be. I prefer to remember my scandinavian part of my heritage. Anything but German.
PROCLAIM THY RACE, HUMAN!!!!!!

Hmmm. I'll remind everyone I'm asking race, not nationality.
You diverters from the topic, you!

Yea! I'm second-generation Chinese American! Finally someone who has somewhat the same ethnic background. (We should have a club or something.) Ha ha...you could never tell that from the way I talk, eh.Trent DeWhite wrote:Chinese Canadian. w00t for Asians.
Although I also happen to be third-generation, as both my parents and grandparents were born in Canada. Heh. Thus, neither my parents, my siblings, nor I can speak, read, or write Chinese at all. We've totally abandoned our heritage.
. . . except for the food.
I can understand what they're saying at resturants and when my father dearest is making fun of something...but other than that...I'm only at the barbeque pork bun level. Tcha-su bao...or however you say it.
Is anyone else here not completely white? (go Asians!)

Hooray for Asians! We 'should' start a club. But there'd only be five or six members . . .Frank wrote:Yea! I'm second-generation Chinese American!

Wait, can both your parents speak Chinese? Nice. Mandarin or Cantonese?Frank wrote:I can understand what they're saying at resturants and when my father dearest is making fun of something...but other than that...I'm only at the barbeque pork bun level. Tcha-su bao...or however you say it.

My dear sweet mother is chinese...but doesn't speak it all that much. (she understands it perfectly...) My father dearest is caucasian... (hence...I'm only half asian...but it works great for college oppurtunities) and speaks more Cantonese than my dear sweet mother does...it's kinda funny. He likes to make people laugh. People...like little chinese waitresses. It's great.
Are you full blown chinese? Or half?

Wow, that is rather . . . interesting. You mom understands Chinese perfectly but she can't speak it at all? Hm. My mom understands a village dialect of Cantonese (which her parents speak), so she can speak and undestand various words and phrases of that dialect, but little else. My dad can differentiate between the two main Chinese dialects, and he can speak a bit of Mandarin--when it comes to ordering Chinese dishes.Frank wrote:My dear sweet mother is chinese...but doesn't speak it all that much.

I am "full blown" Chinese, in that my entire ancestry is Chinese. (i.e. my parents are full Chinese, their parents are full Chinese, etc.) As for the TH, I must confess I was not nearly as involved there as I am here. More commonly known as there International15 there, I seldom posted.Frank wrote:Are you full blown chinese? Or half?
