I understand now.

I do NOT mean Chinese by nationality. I know a Caucasian who is Chinese. His mom gave birth to him in China. He is not Chinese by ethnicity. Nor is he allowed to be Chinese (PRC) by nationality. He is, however, Canadian.

I don't wish to mince words or play games with the issue, which I see as being that of the aptness of appellations or stereotypes. If you think it's wrong, however you interpret the word wrong, don't use it, for there, there be dragons, imo.
