A typical greeting between Chinese Americans, used as a combination of the Chinese: "Ni hao" and the English: "
How are you?" Its a way for the Chinese Americans, also known by the Chinese as bananas, white
on the inside and yellow
on the outside, to celebrate both their asian and western heritage.
When a Chinese American ask a fellow Chinese American the age old question "Ni
how are you? Would you like some
dumplings?" They always expect them to reply: "Ni
how are you yourself? Im good, and dumplings sounds terrific! Happy year of the unicorn!"
