I really like concept of Francine being Chinese not by birth or heritage but rather by the culture she grew up with
Not just because I can feel reflected by it
But also because its really different point of view from how Americans view this type of heritage where they+
Often simplify it with
"Oh so your grandparents/parents/relatives are Chinese than you are Chinese too"
There's always this discussion around altho I see it more towards latin culture and heritage
Where lots of Americans simply say the are from certain culture or ethnicity+
Just because the have a direct relative that comes from that ethnicity, Wich I'm not gonna say it's wrong or right
But for a lot of people from those ethnicity this point of view seems shallow, because a lot of people yes they do have that heritage from the parents+
But haven't interacted or show interest in their culture
That's why it's often a discussion here on twitter
But with Francine it's different, she was born american but was raised by Chinese people, she grew up interacting with the culture, as we can see here+
She grew up learning their language and traditions their culture that what makes her Chinese besides being the adoptive daughter of two Chinese people
Wich I find like a good bit of representation
And kinda makes see me kinda reflected in her
I was born in the us so+
By technicality and law... I am american, an us citizen, but can I consider myself an us citizen if I grew up in Mexico, interacted with mexican culture, learned the Mexican variant of Spanish, grow around Mexican people? I don't quite seem so
As the same as Francine+
