Chinese Born American (CBA)


a person born in china, of chinese ancestry, who is raised in america with american values, culture, and citizenship. this person is often mistaken for a chinese born and raised individual, but their lack of mandarin/chinese language fluency and lack of chinese idiosyncratic cultural norms sets them apart.
my adopted, chinese born american (cba) daughter finds it difficult to navigate culturally when in china. people -ssume she can speak mandarin perfectly and that she is a native raised chinese person, when in fact she couldn’t be more american culturally even though she is racially chinese.
