[quote=Dukehorn]Look, he identifies himself as Taiwanese American. Enough said, that’s his own ethnic identity. A number of my friends identify themselves at Taiwanese American and it’s actually quite the insult to call them “Chinese”. Asian American is definitely a better choice.

The Koreans and Japanese didn’t have the diaspora that the Chinese have so it’s not a great comparison.[/quote]

please, you don’t have north koreans saying “I’m not korean, I’m north korean” or the south koreans saying “I’m not korean, I’m south korean”.

I don’t have an issue with Jeremy saying he’s TW American.

But it’s just kinda funny some folks on this thread started to get all huffy and puffy about this. There was some ridiculous video going from some folks from taiwan that was saying that when filling out applications, don’t check the “Chinese” ethnicity box, but instead check “other asian”… WTF????

And Brian, no sorry Taiwan is not part of China. two separate systems, completely.
