>Wrong word

At least I think it might be the wrong word..........

The Canadian media in the late 19th and early 20th centuries depicted the Chinatowns in lucid and sensationalist terms...

This was written by User:A.S. Brown.

Is "lucid" the right word here? I rather think the context suggests that "lurid" may have been what was meant. If so, change it, please. Kelisi (talk) 21:44, 19 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Chinese Canadians are of Chinese Ancestry Broader than Being Han Chinese

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The idea of a unified "Han race" is extremely controversial. Also, China officially refers to 56 ethnic groups, of these there are those who are not Han Chinese who identify as Chinese. And after immigration they may identify as Chinese Canadian. There would be a wider discussion on the page Chinese people about what this means, this page on Chinese Canadians should not try to narrow the scope of what Chinese means.

More can be said about how Chinese Canadian really emerged as a term in the 1970s, and at the time it has never been narrowed down to just the so-called Han Chinese.

If trying to define Chinese Canadians even more accurately, one can refer to more reliable academic sources like:

Li, Jessica Tsui‑Yan, ed. The Transcultural Streams of Chinese Canadian Identities. Montréal & Kingston: McGill‑Queen’s University Press, 2019. ISBN 978-0-7735-5685-0.
