Why anyone can be Chinese (2)
Reality or not, the Chinese themselves tried to redefine Chinese identity as cultural rather then ethnic in attempts to unify the empire. American identity can be mixed with anything, true, but so can other identities in the world. People are born in one place, educated somewhere else, work in a third country, and marry in a fourth. I married into a Chinese family, and my children would be Chinese: couldn't I share an identity with them?
