I haven't read the thread beyond this post, but I should clarify something. Where you were born holds a much higher significance in Chinese culture (well, at least hongie culture) than here. It's a question that frequently gets asked within a couple minute of meeting someone. There is a bit of inherent birthplace snobbery which may confuse the discussion.
