[quote=LEONARDO,242179]Have you ever heard of this term " banana Chinese"? Initially, ' Banana' refers to American-born Chinese. Now, this concept is not confined to American-born Chinese. It refers to the overseas Chinese, usually the second or the thied generations of Chinese immigrants. The "bananas" are a special group. They have the yellow skin, but receive the western education. They are westernized and are different in ways of thinking from their parents. They cannot identify with their parents' Chinese ways of thinking. So, a generation gap is forged. Additonally, it is hard for these " bananas" to be assimilated by the mainstream society. Facing two distinctive cultures, how can they make a choice?[/quote]
