Pretty sure the main character was born in Canada making them Canadian.
Legally, yes. Heritage is still Chinese though. I'll just say it's about Chinese-Canadians and stop splitting hairs.
Still about some Canadians. You are still splitting hairs. The lessons aren't specific to Chinese heritage people.
Idk why you tried splitting hairs in the first place. You think only white people are Canadian?
No, but when I see people who are proud of their heritage and are trying their best to keep it alive, I consider that that's what they are and want to be identified with. It's not like I'm hating on these fictional characters and being racist. I saw a film of a family who were proud of who they are and took it at face value. Never even considered their location to a part of the equation.
You watched the movie then? It just seems weird to be bothered the meme wasn't specific enough.
Also, anecdotal, but I have friends who maintain pride in their home culture but have also worked hard to be able to officially be called "Canadian".
