Originally posted by Lira Ancestry means very little - in most cases, it just doesn't mean anything at all. If a person has Chinese background, is born in France, grows up in France, they're as Chinese as Chop Suey - it may even try to be Chinese, but it's not. Even though the whole ancestry/nationality/ethnic group thing is nothing but a flawed social construct, if you tried to place these individuals in a spectrum where you have an "ideal Chinese" (as someone who would fit completely into a Chinese concept of what a Chinese person should be like) and an "ideal French" (as someone who would fit completely into a French concept of what a French person should be like), it's very difficult to believe that they would be anywhere near the "ideal Chinese" end of the spectrum, in spite of what they might believe. Unless, of course, the person is completely deprived from the culture of the country they live in, which is not likely to happen in any urban environment, although in this case they'd be in touch with the culture of their homeland with a certain delay of years or decades, which would bring yet another difference. I'd keep talking about it, but I gotta go. Alright, back to my self-imposed ostracism

KGracias for confusing me more.

well i lived in japan for 2 years and i tried to learn as much as i could. i knew enough to get by out in town, but that's it. i didn't walk around expecting everyone to speak english...although a lot of them did speak it in the bigger cities, and they were eager to run up to americans to practice their english, it was kind funny.

Or a French citizen? i mean let's just say someone is curious as to what asian country she is from, so they're like, "oh what nationality are you?" when she says "oh i'm french" they're gonna be like, "umm, ok". so i agree with this.


and i agree with lira's post too.


if someone is asking me what nationality i am, obviously i'm american, but i assume they mean like what descent...so i just say, "oh i'm a mixture of irish/french/german".
