casperd2100 - I think it’a quite beautiful, I don’t think of it as “weird” however, I get your point. Also, “oriental” is a rug and perhaps some other items but not an ethic group or people. To refer to the Chinese, it would be appropriate to refer to them as “Chinese” or “Asian” but never “oriental”. 💞
Chinese descendant here! My sister got all the chinese DNA! 🙂. I got more from my spanish descendants. I’m so happy that still Chinese culture is not forgotten in Cuba. I’ll come back one day to Cuba to find out about my real Chinese names!! ❤️
He's a 6th generation immigrant, it's all he knows, the fuck. You think everyone pops out of the womb, no matter where on earth they're born, speaking the language of their ancestors?
There are MANY MORE than 300 Cubans with Chinese ancestry! 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ Lots of Chinese ancestry exists among the larger Cuban community, and particularly within the Afro-Cuban community. There is a lot of erasure of the African women who married and had children with Chinese indentured laborers.
Nothing strange at all...Chinese are all over the world! The world is interconnected as most countries' population are of different races/ethnicities & some people have mixed heritage & aren't even aware of it! Google this chap: Arthur Chung of Guyana.
The United States, even from colonial days, has always had people of different races and cultures--but, obviously, they all haven't had freedom or certain privileges.
