So, we all came from different ethnics and racial backgrounds. Hokkien, Irish, Malay, etc. This is the thread to talk about them.
For me, I'm like most Singaporeans, a Hokkien, born purely in Singapore, making me a pure Singaporean citizen. And speaking of Hokkien, I told some of the guys before in the Cbox, their profanities about private parts and sex are immense, and extremely comedic to us. Like Americans, we use them for playful banter, too. But when they get crude, man, could they get crude alright.
As for my ancestral background, I only know that my father's an Hainanese of some sort, and my mother's pure Hokkien - I think (Hokkien's one of the districts of China, so I'm guessing her ancestors are from there or something). I don't really know much about my parents' pasts - or those of any of my ancestors, for that matter - but I'm sure you guys could come up with better ones than me about their partake in the revolutionary war or stuff like that.
So, any interesting tales?
