theres no such thing as White American since White is in reference to a colour not a nationality.
Chinese American can be understood in his case. bc he is Chinese first and American second.

When a person is Born in a Country ...they are a Native of that Country :
regardless of Parental roots...
When an Immigrant swears his allegiance via Citizenship:
They give up previous references to their place of birth ..

its swell to be linear. I guess there is some advantage in dat.
but dat is not the way north america was built.
and the vietnamese for eg., did not drive out their chinese comunity for nothing.
and the indonesians want to do the same with their chinese...
as well as african nations up in arms against their governments for letting in chinese to sell roast corn on their streets alongside regular national hucksters
yu need a cloth ketchim..to shine yu glasses...wipe the fog away. :grin: :grin: :grin:
las' time I was in Brampton, to se ah friend in the hospital, everybody in the hospital were indos..even the doctors. nurses etc.
