Cina People

Spartans SG

I noticed some Chinese youngsters nowadays take pride in not knowing how to speak Mandarin. Why is this so? And they feel pride and elite about it, ie only know how to speak English.

They think those who speak Mandarin more often are Cina people, lower class than them. WTH?

If you are a Chinese and you dun know how to speak your mother tongue language, that is a very sad thing. The least you can do is to start to learn, step by step. And not mocking around. "oh gosh, I dun know Mandarin at all. Gee... I only speak English. Speaking Mandarin so Cina."

zzzzz. cannot really understand their mindsets. There tend to be more "banana man" in Arts Faculty. Just my observation.

nanren4ever SG

When I was in Sec 1 10 years back, I was branded Cina by the angmoh speaking gang.

I retorted back and say that its much better than acting "potato" and refusing to acknowledge their own roots.

Since then, they never say "Cinaman" in my face again.

Dead_Man_Inc SG

speak both languages, chinese to mother and english to father, cause mother last time from chinese sch and father from english school Laughing

when communicate to friends or other people, english or chinese also can, depending on which one they speak
