Being American Chinese

I don't look Chinese so why am I American Chinese? A banana is yellow outside and white inside but I don't think there's a fruit that is white outside and yellow within.
    The main thing is my sensibilities are becoming more Chinese each day. I speak Mandarin Chinese and English so that makes me listen in a Chinese culture and in an American one. Plus I've been married to a Taiwanese for nearly 25 years. It helps to understand both cultures which I will talk about in the future. God bless you, Matt McCabe
