Nowadays people don't even know their ethnicity, have never met nor heard of their relatives other than the closest ones, and when they grow up the rarely ever visit their parents, and even grandparents become more and more distant for people. Everything that was once important is becoming something people don't seem to care anymore. It's kinda sad.
Hey hey , I'm still in contact with my relatives / great grand parents it's just that the connection is so messed up even they don't know very much lolz
lol, that;s why 狂気 shouldn't generalize

I don't see how that's any reason not to.

uhh.....because two people so far has made contrary facts to your theory? lol? Where did you get your generalization from anyway? Generalization only work if you take data from a lot of people, say a sample of 10,000 mainland Chinese.

I wasn't talking about Chinese. I was talking of the direction we're going to as I have observed myself. If I talk of facts (that aren't obvious) I'll probably tell the source.

My family is Dong. My grandfather came to the US in 1925; on the ship's manifest it listed his village/origin as "Tai Sham, Sun Ning, China" - although with the spelling by officials back then, that's not likely accurate, and as the elders of the family have all passed, I can't get any more info.
I assume any family name of Dong is of the ethnic minority Dong-?

Isn't that the truth. 🙁
