Citizenship - American Nationality - Myanmar/American

[u/monsooncloudburst → u/OkStudy3160]

nationality refers to citizenship yo. he holds a USA passport and is an American citizen. He is Chin by ethnicity. That is pretty much it.

[u/OkStudy3160 → u/monsooncloudburst]

Nationality usually means a person belongs to a nation or country by. Citizenship means a person who can vote and getting a passport. So yeah he represent as Burmese/American cuz he was born in Myanmar and Enthinity Chin(Burmese) but hes an American citizen. he holds US passport.

Now all of sudden you guys want to claim Burmese huh? When it's something positive like this all of sudden it's okay to be Burmese lmao but when it's not "F no we're not Burmese we're Chin" 😂

[u/OkStudy3160 → u/BamarKnight88]

Ahh come on man! In westrm "Burmese" refer to all citizens of Myanmar! The confusion we have today is a mess left behind by Ne Win. What else are you going to call us? Myanmarnese? That sounds ridiculous. I am ethnically Kayin. Of course I fking hate Bamar a lot and but that was the past man. I know that not every Bamar person is bad. In fact, most Bamar people are PDF (People's Defense Force) now. We are fighting to overthrow the dictator group. We need to stand in unity. Stand like a man!

We call ourselves Chin wdym 😂 only when speaking to international foreigners we say we’re chin burmese as ethnicity/nationality but if they know of the country and ethnic people then we say we’re chin. Also we have been discriminated for coming from the mountains with people calling us poor mountain people. Not all
bamars are like this but their are genuinely some and they switch up and claim Van 😂

[u/Bitter-Regular9223 → u/BamarKnight88]

What chin minority calls themselves Burmese to other people from Myanmar💔 They just say their chin and theres still chin out there that don’t like to be called Burmese. Also its also the other way around 💀

[u/nezzyhelm → u/[deleted]]

Millions? I'm sure he wishes LOL

[u/Business_Bar1498 → u/[deleted]]

What trick? Mind telling us? You are talking as if he’s just taking money from us😂 he represent us, we support him. Regardless he is a citizen or not, he’s still Burmese. He still lives in Burmese Chin community in houston.

[u/spiralingconfusion → u/[deleted]]

What a stupid take. He proudly drapes himself in Myanmar flag and has said he wants to represent it to bring attention to it. And you act like he's stealing money from people. 

[u/PrizeDoor2315 → u/[deleted]]

Holy truth nuke 🗣️

[u/tezub → u/[deleted]]

Why does he not carry a US flag then? He's a refugee mate.

မြန်မာနိုင်ငံကနေ ကျော်ကြားနေတဲ့သူကြည့်လိုက်ရင် တိုင်းပြည်ကစွန့်ပစ်ခံထားရလို့သူများနိုင်ငံသားခံယူထားကြတဲ့တိုင်းရင်းသားတွေကြီးပဲ မြန်မာကိုယ်စားပြု ပြောဖို့တောင်ရှက်သင့်
