What's wrong with the word "Chinese"? The word "Chinese" has multiple implications, just like any other words like "English" , "German" and "French"~~~ When you are in a place where majority of the public speaks Cantonese (which is a local dialect of Chinese), asking a person to "Speak Chinese" means you want that person to speak in that local dialect, i.e. Cantonese in this case! 5 Y. i4 b; `' s! m" e& Q f/ `: e. t2 i: S
I think your interpretation of "Chinese" being just a human race is far too superficial ~~~公仔箱論壇7 |4 J L8 h4 [3 g" n7 ~6 R( B+ _
