A person who is a honger does NOT have to have been born in Hong Kong but are usually of an asian race. Hongers are usually interested in the fashions and music of H.K and don't necessary speak chinse 24/7. Not all hongers are rich spoiled brats that fling there money everywhere and spend it lavishly on cell phones or clothes. He/She doesn't have to be horrible in english or permantly resides in ESL classes. The 'weird clothes' in my opinion are actually quite nice, and the clothes that are actually being sold now in english malls are actually the same as the style that was 'in' in HK last year or two years ago. If you're dissing honger clothes, then you're dissing the popular and 'in' clothes that you buy from english malls. Many of the definitions here diss hongers and i'm assuming that the authors of these definitions come from english speaking countries which are probably the U.S and Canada. If it is, isn't the U.S and Canada supposed to be supportive of multi-cultralism? If it is, then these dissers are the ones who don't belong to these countries and not the hongers. At least hongers don't diss other cultures. Everyone is free to express there own cultures and background and shouldn't feel ashamed of it.
i'm a honger, but i'm a CBC. I still listen to english songs even though i may listen to chinse songs for a longer part of the time. I also get A's in many subjects including english and i don't get huge amounts of money to spend.

Get the Hong Kong Speed mug.I'm half Chinese half white so I get to see both sides of the story. What was described in the first definition is extremely accurate, but only when applied to about 10-20% of the hongers I know. They are a very select group that has one thing in common: they have been in Canada (generally) less than five years. However, the other 80-90% are a very diverse group that includes many people to whom that particular definition of "honger" does not fit at all. I know many people who were born in Hong Kong that speak perfect English, wear the same clothes that white people wear, don't play copious amounts of badminton and don't have cell phones attached to their ears.
It all comes down to how it jumps out at you. The reason why we have such a narrow definition of a "honger" is because we've picked up on the most obvious representation, or the representation that sticks out like a sore thumb. We don't appreciate the 80-90% of people born in HK that are all unique in their own ways and have adapted somewhat to the way of life in North America because they've blended in with the rest of society.

It was generally assumed they were buying citizen insurance out of fear that Chinese Communists would remove Hong Kong from the free market. Canadians generally believed that these new people from Hong Kong did not have any knowledge of Canadian people or Canadian culture. Canadians were also insulted by their seemingly aloofness to not wanting to learn about Canada.
A Honger is really only a person from this generational time frame. Children born to Honger parents but born in Canada and brought up in Canada should not be defined as Hongers but more correctly as Canadians. In fact, they shouldn’t even be defined as CBC's but, rather simply "Canadian."
As for all the pop-culture stuff that people talk about here to define people by race -its a bunch of crap -you should get out and travel the world and see how far popular culture travels and see how many different people it touches.
