a kiwi? like the fruit? My dad is a chinese born cambodian and my mother is french. Kiwi = New Zealander (ancestors from Norway, Denmark, Scotland and England) um... i've got a different definition  ...btw this term has had a lot of wtf-ing over the years in nz... there's no REAL definition cuz it's such a 'multicultural' country now, but... Kiwi; someone who is proud of being a new zealander  |

Hmmm, this thread was made a while ago, is there anyone currently posting on EAN who is second generation EA (has 2 EA parents)? Do I count? I rarely come on though. And I'm not second generation. More like third... |

Just wondered is everyone's Asian parent born in Asia? Does anyone out there have an Asian parent born in a Western country? I'm a parent of an Eurasian toddler and my husband has dual citizenship Eu (Ireland) and the U.S. I'm "full" Asian but born in in the U.S.
Sometimes when I go out with my son and see other Asian moms with their Eurasian kids, I don't always feel comfortable with them since I grew up here and not in an Asian country.
Sometimes its odd, most of my husband's friends in the Navy are Filipinos in their mid to late forties with U.S. born elementary school kids and a few teenagers.
Once when we went to visit one of his Filipino friends in Fresno, sometimes I felt like an odd fish. Since all the Philippine born adults 45+ people belonged to the same college fraternity, played cards and the wives hung around with each other.
I on the other hand at the time was 30 years old, without a kid yet felt more "culturally" close to the U.S. born teenagers and kids-their mannerisms and speech patterns. Yet they were way to young to really hang around with.
Any Western born Asian parents?

To my knowledge, I don't think I've ever seen a second generation EA. Though I frequently see EA's in my area, I seldom see any EA's over the age of 30. ARe you serious? I'm one of those seldom seen ones. I don't know where you live but most of the Ea's I know( i live in the states) are products of Military fathers. At least in my generation. Most of us born during the Vietnam era are in our thirties and many I know are heading to 40. We might not be seen because now we live in the burbs surrounded by our white picket fences, with our significant others, doting on our children and never venture out at night anymore after a hard day's work. We exist and there are plenty of us...we just don't party with you young folks anymore. ;D Thats weird because I honestly cannot admit that I have seen many "older" EA's here in vancouver. Im not sure why, but it perhaps may be due to the fairly recent influx of asian peoples that are living here. May I ask where in the states you live in??? |

Ah cool! Then yes! What is your mix btw? Asian - mostly Chinese, some Indian (from India) Caucasian - English, Scottish, Irish, German, French I also might have some African blood in me and some Spanish/Portuguese. This is not confirmed though. Did you want the break down by who the original Eurasians were? |

As of the 2000 Census, there were about 200,000 married male part Asians and about 40% of them were married to female part Asians. (You will just have to presume most are 50-50 Eurasian.) About half the group is over age 40 so you can further presume that the 2nd (and maybe 3rd) generation of EAs is coming along quite well in the US. www.proudasianamerican.com/Statistics%20Folder/US%20Census%202000/PartAsian.htm |

I find it odd that in my day to day interactions with EA's, the ones i meet outside of here. Most of the EA's I meet have asian moms, while alot of EA's here, not a majority but i've met more from here than anywhere else, have asian fathers.
I think the next generation espically the couples here that are 1st generation were gona see alot more asian moms & white dads than ever before.
