That will not stop them. Sleeping in the living room on the floor is a luxury compared to living condition from their native land.
This is where I grew up:</blockquote>
You grew up in Bedrock?</blockquote>
Kowloon City, the paradise of lawlessness, drugs, prostitute, and gangster life. One of the highest density place on Earth. If we can live like that, the entire US population probably can fit inside the state of R. I.
BK has made several references to his asian connection, but I am still have some doubts as to his ethnic background.</blockquote>
Born and raised in Kowloon. Due to Dad's families trapped in Communist China I stayed in our ancestoral home in Canton during my visits. I immigrated to the state in during 70's with my mother while my father stayed behind. He was too old to travel. He was already in his mid 70s back then and was born in 1895. My undergraduate was in Physics from Harvey mudd. My line of work now has no connection to my undergraduate studies.
Kowloon wall city sat on 6 acres with 35,000 people. I was poor in HK and in the US. I found a life here that I could only imagined if I had stayed in my homeland. What is puzzling you is the fact that I do not fit into the stereotype of Chinese that you are familiar with. Diversity for Chinese is very unexpected and you do find that atypical.
I struggled just like all immigrants. Racism and language barrier just to name a few. What is also throwing you off is my reverse interracial relationship and I am the only Chinese living in my city.
I think you are overly analytical in your profiling. I am just an ordinary and average "Hop Sing"(from Bonanza).
Still confused ?
