※ 引述《celestial09 (celestial)》之銘言： : ※ 引述《xyn (helluva fun)》之銘言： : : Unfortunately, not everyone will think that neither of these accents are : : inferior or superior. That's why some people try to speak with an American or : : British accent, when they are not ABCs or BBCs. Maybe in Taiwan, it is not so : : obvious. But in Singapore, there are many people who suck up to the caucasians. : : (No offense to caucasians) And so they mimic their accent. : : I rest my case. : Do they suck up the caucacians? That's funny. One should not disrespect their : origin and cultural upbringing. Totally agree with this~ : Here in California, a lot of ABCs are eager to learn Chinese. : Some of them even feel having less advantage because they cannot emerge to : Taiwanese/Chinese speaking group due to language barrier. Some might be considered : more white-washed and having no cultrual identity. : Asian population cosists of the majority in good schools especially UCs, even : outbeat the caucasians. I want to move to Cali :p Here in New York it's a little different, seems like the ABCs here aren't very interested in learning Chinese. They probably know barely enough to communicate with their parents and family, and that's about it. They can still speak Chinese, but I doubt they consider it as a necessity. : I never feel caucasin are superior and am proud of my Taiwanese origin. : If ABCs identify themselves as American, then it's normal too. Who wouldn't : love the land they grew up upon and the society that nourishes them? It's like : how we have an emotional connection to Taiwan. : So again, no hatred....more understanding. -- People are capable of kindness beyond angels, yet we also commit sins that would put a demon to shame... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 68.237.255.217
