Nationals. The word you are looking for is nationals.
- kccqzy 5mo agoI am not. I am referring to the Chinese race. Their nationality could be Taiwanese or even Malaysian and the result is the same.
- r14c 5mo agoThen the word you're looking for is likely Han, Chinese is only a nationality, not an ethnicity.
- hug 5mo agoI dug a little into this because I was curious who was more correct here. From wikipedia, which links to what seems like a relatively reliable source: > The Singapore Department of Statistics broadly defines "Chinese" as a "race" or "ethnic group", in conjunction with "Malay, Indian and Others" under the CMIO model.[10] They consist of "persons of Chinese origin" such as the Hokkiens, Teochews, Hainanese, Cantonese, Hakka, Henghuas, Hokchias/Foochows, Shanghainese and Northern Chinese, etc."[11] So I would, on the balance of things, think that kccqzy meant what they said, and was pretty correct about it.
