I'm 4th generation on both side of my parents... so my family has been here more than alot of others. in 50 more years... when my grandkids are growing up.. are they going to be "ABC" too? and still be checking that box that says they are "asian or pacific islander"?

lived 2/3 of my life in the states so far. but im proud to be a fob. i can speak 2 language fluently than most abc.

i dont like abc because it only applied to chinese. so i suggest we instate the term white washed for non chinese abc.
