<Chino, you live out here in LA right?>
SandyEggo :P
<The Chinese guy you speak of (Jackie Chan) would be Afican by law.>
"By law" but his race would still be Chinese no matter what. Put the Chinese guy in the middle of a group of African guys from Mozambique and ask anybody if he's African. Anybody in their right mind would tell you "No way! That guy is Chinese!" Why? Because those characteristics represent Chinese people (eye characteristics, and so on).
<blood that flows through their vanes is from 2 Mexican parents BUT the simple fact that his mother gave birth to him in America makes him American.>
Makes him an American citizen but his race does not change to American. Just look at their last names: Gonzalez, Lopez, Gutierrez, Hernandez, De La Hoya, Diaz, etc. Does it sound American to you? People can't even pronounce their names right! But it is not about pronouncing their names right or wrong, its about their race and not what it says on a piece of paper.
<This is the last thing I'll say to you Chino when you go to Mexico and your crossing the border and the border officer asks you where were you born? And you answer ___________ (fill in City of the US you were born in) or you tell him "American Born" and he let's you thru.
Think about that....>
When I travel and I come back to the USA of course I tell them I was born in SandyEggo, California. Legally, that is what I have to say, that is what my birth certificate shows. A paper says I am American, my skin, my heart, my language, my customs/traditions, my relatives, my parents, etc. say something else. I can get naturalized in Finland, Ghana, Vietnam, America, IceLand, etc. But my race will still be intact regardless of dying my hair blonde or tanning until I am as dark as coal. No matter what I do, I am still Mexican. I would have to be born from a lady from Vietnam to be Vietnamese and so on.
My nationality: USA and Mexico (I have both)
My race: Mexican.
<One is what you are and the other is what you feel you are.>
I don't feel I am Mexican, I AM Mexican.
