Like I said, it's a Chinese name because I'm Chinese and it's my name Just like "Chu" is an American surname because I am an American and it is my surname

The former is a much more common annoyance in daily life, but the latter, as we can see, has much more stamina for arguing with people on Twitter

This one also doesn’t seem to understand simple logic. For example, that something like a name (can be both American and Chinese at the same time).

Do you find this exists with accents too? Like, the difference in accent between people who grew up with English as a first language and those who didn't is huge, right? (That's not just me being racist?)

It takes time to gain enough fluency to "lose your accent" in a secondary language, yes, and some people never do (and some people don't see it as a desirable goal)

My real name is the one I use. Heck, as Brit, that's legally true as well as ethically and socially true.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

#hongkong when it’s the Asian home in popular culture for Western first names casually integrated with Chinese family names. Yo Tony!pic.twitter.com/0TEVI2RFaq -
As another HKer, that's generally true only of a certain class of elite HKers. I'm in my early 30s & none my 9 HKer cousins have taken Eng first names - one even graduated from
@HKUniversity - bastion of British colonialism in HK that it is - & still did not take an Eng name - Show replies
