Just some random thoughts:
Idk why when you say you& #39;re 華人 some people will immediately "link" you to China while in reality you& #39;re only a Chinese descendant. (1)

Also the fact that 華人 means Chinese/ethnic Chinese, is so biased. I wonder is there a better interpretation for it, besides "Chinese" (that won& #39;t make people think you came from China

Sometimes i try to get rid of this "Chinese" thingy. I mean yes i& #39;m Chinese but no I didn& #39;t come from China (my ancestors did), I was raised and born in Indonesia so technically I& #39;m an Indonesian https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht"> (3),
Then I want to be called as an Indonesian instead of "Chindo or Chinese-Indonesian or Tionghoa". Like, only INDONESIAN. But then people say: "yeahhh but ur race is still cHiNeSe" (4)
The best example is I see is Taiwanese, nobody said "台灣華人" right? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> only 台灣人, despite their & #39;ancestors& #39; are also from China https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">

add:
Chinese descendants in Indonesia usually self-identify as "teng lang" (唐人 in Hokkien dialect)

Also I hate SE Asian who say their 祖國 or "Motherland" is China, like what? U were born in SG/M& #39;sia/etc. but you call China ur motherland because "my ancestors cames from China". The logic there is just so wrong.
We call these people 祖國膠/中華膠 or when you& #39;re pissed off just call em 膠膠 or 膠民 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">
