[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tangent question: if your child or grandchild are involved in your heritage customs in the US maybe visit family abroad but don’t speak your heritage language — do they identify with your heritage? Or do you consider them strictly American? Can they call themselves Indian-, Chinese-, or Italian-American?[/quote] My kids are mixed but I teach them to classify as Chinese-American. Partly because I've lived in many places in the world, people look at you and make an assumption. It's better to have some knowledge of heritage/culture for those places even in the US where someone looks and thinks, not one of us. [/quote]
