It was wrong but we only think and talk that way.

What's wrong with the word "Chinese"? The word "Chinese" has multiple implications, just like any other words like "English" , "German" and "French"~~~ When you are in a place where majority of the public speaks Cantonese (which is a local dialect of Chinese), asking a person to "Speak Chinese" means you want that person to speak in that local dialect, i.e. Cantonese in this case! & g/ w% y0 Y( ^' [ 0 M2 ^- }( J/ w9 qtvb now,tvbnow,bttvbI think your interpretation of "Chinese" being just a human race is far too superficial ~~~www1.tvboxnow.com.
