This I think is a grave mistake. If a person is born, say in America, and is raised on a steady diet of American culture, American is what they are going to be. My wife does not view Asians raised outside Asia as Asians. She wants to expose our children to their Thai heritage but she thinks they are even now as young as they are more American than Thai, which is completely fine with her, BTW. I believe this is a mistake for it creates a divide between people who despite race and cultural background still share a vast amount of their cultures because they grew up in the same one. Black, white, yellow American is American.In my experience, people tend to associate you with the exotic, not the mundane. That is why most people considered me Asian rather than European.

Maybe Aerica is different from Australia in that respect.This I think is a grave mistake.

Well, we had a White Australia Policy for 66 years, so people who were Chinese were so few and far between that they stood out like a sore thumb.How so?
