Hey guy,
It doesn't matter even if you're born in the States, you will always be
"Chinese American" and never just "American".
The actions of one or the few reflects upon his entire race. What you think
of yourself has little relevence to how others see you and act upon it.
There is no fairness in this, you simply have to live with it.
As for the US-China dispute, it's a matter of regional hegemony
(Pax-Americana vs. Pax-Sinica) where conflict is almost unavoidable.
Because if the U.S. does not act upon China's growth, it will marginalize
U.S. influence over East Asia.
As Chinese (or any other Asian) Americans, you WILL pay the price for this
conflict.
Remember that more people are killed by their own countrymen and government
than any other invader. Trust yourself and do what is good for you.

AIIEEE! I know it is just a movie...but sometimes people treat me unfairly
due to the fact that I am Asian, and worse... I am from a Chinese
background... so evertime U.S. - China got into a dispute, somepeople like
to think all Chinese are responsible (yes, even Chinese Americans)... now
take into account that few people can tell Japanese from Chinese... so I
(and other Asians get to take blame for KEEPING the darn EP-3 Plane and now
thanks for the ignorant anger caused by that movie, the blame for attacking
that darn harbor. Darn, it would be much easier being an African
American... wait, no, I would get lynched by the KKK who would make it like
a suicide (like what happenned in Mississippi several months ago).
Sob... it is hard being a minority in the U.S.A. ... especially you are from
a country which U.S. officially doesn't like.
