I understand what you mean. Genes and blood tie matter in telling us who we are. However,  Environmental factors do play a very important role in shaping a person's personality. For overseas Chinese grow up in a totally exotic environment, they received western education and accepted western values. Their ways of thinking and behaving are all western. I have ever encountered an 'ABC". 
Her ways of thinking was extremely different from we Chinese peers, but in appearance she has the typical Chinese features.

I am not sure if you have ever heard the "wolf child' story in China. A boy who was abandoned by his parents immediately after he was born, he was adopted by a kind wolf and fed on the wolf's milk. He lived a life with the wolf for more than 16 years. After he was discovered by the "human world", he can not speak nor understand his fellow human species. There is a popular belief anthropologists: "you have to immerse yourself in a totally new environment in order to fully understand your own" ；but one problem may occur before you have a full understanding of your own: you take the risks of being assimilated and transformed.[/quote]
