Right because China has a history of mass immigration from all parts of the world. So keep playing that victim card.Right, because white people in China are always treated as natives.

Dat racism thoughRight, because white people in China are always treated as natives.
The more fucked up part is that these people are American and have been for multiple generations. He's doing exactly what people have been complaining about in this thread, they're still just Chinese not Americans.Sounds like you're saying "Chinese do it to us" as if this meant it was less shitty.
Regardless of segregation a multicultural society infers that nationals will have the appearance of any ethnic background and will have the accent of the area they grew up, or at the very least will have accent afflictions of the area they live if they immigrated. Its just basic common sense.
Pretty sure when they say they are getting together for "southern Chinese food" they mean Cantonese food. These people all look like they're from there.

During the labor-scarce 1870s, cotton planters imported Chinese laborers to work their fields, while others came to work on the railroads. Most Chinese in the Delta came via New Orleans and the Mississippi River. The influx of blacks from east of the Mississippi resulted in most Chinese agricultural workers leaving the region. Those that remained established a Chinese-American culture substantially different from those found on the east and west coasts of the United States.
In the late 1800s, U.S. law allowed male Chinese laborers into the country, but banned Chinese women. Some of the earliest Chinese immigrants married black women, but as they came to better understand the power-structure of the late nineteenth century South, this trend died out. One Chinese who married a black woman in Mississippi reportedly sent their children back to China to spare them from the racism that was so prevalent in the Delta. Like blacks, Chinese in the Delta were segregated from whites until after World War II and refused access to white churches, schools, hospitals, hotels, and restaurants. Many became small grocers serving black neighborhoods.
Delta Chinese, or Hon Yen as they called themselves in Cantonese, erected a society unlike that of any other Chinese enclave in North America. There were no substantial Chinatowns in any Delta cities, nor were there any of the cultural accoutrements that Chinese communities on the two coasts brought to America, such as clans, tongs, gambling parlors, pagodas, and paper dragons. Delta Chinese have tended to play a subdued role in Delta society, somewhere between the Lo Mok, the blacks, and the Bok Guey, the whites.lix

Working in my industry, i met Asians from Toronto, Montreal, London UK, Melbourne Australia and Paris.I remember when I was a kid and my school had one Chinese girl, and hearing her speak with a London (Lahndahn!) accent blew my fucking mind.
Interesting article on it

Thanks for digging this stuff up. That was interesting to read.Another tidbit I found:
The interesting thing about Chinese men marrying Black women in the late 1800s is that Mae Jemison, the first African American woman to travel in space, did a DNA test in 2006 on PBS's African American Lives with Louis Gates and found out she had no had no discernible European ancestry, 84% sub-Saharan African descent, 13% East Asian, and 3% Native American. Researchers were unable to find a conclusive match for her in terms of a specific African tribe. Researchers explained her high East Asian ancestry (for black Americans) to the fact that Chinese laborers were sent to Mississippi - her family's ancestral state - in the late 1800s, so apparently one of her great-grandfathers may have been such a laborer. although she indicated that people had told her such during her travels to Asia. She figured that it was just traces of Native American ancestry.
Then they would have just said Cantonese food.
Also, what does a Cantonese look like?
No, it's pretty obvious it's chinese/southern US BBQ fusion. I mean the BBQ ribs and chicken are right there in the video.
