Inst, ironduke,

American first and foremost.

but if I'm going to use a hyphen, I'll take Taiwanese-American, seeing as how I was born in Taipei. not that I really mind if someone calls me Chinese-American.

only thing that gets me is if someone asks me where i'm from, and upon hearing the answer, says- "well I LOVE thai food!"
