TURTLE MOTHERS CAN'T HAVE THEIR CAKE AND EAT IT
With British Chinese women inter racially marrying at unprecedented levels (
Discussed HERE), just how to do they balance their desire to assimilate into British society without ignominiously bringing shame to their Chinese ancestry?
When an inter racial couple tie the knot, the first dilemma is whether to adopt her husband's surname. Whilst there are Chinese women maintaining their Chinese maiden name, many others happily join the White race by removing all trace of their Chinese name, E.g. Liberal Democrat's
Merlene Emerson. However, there's another group of Chinese women that have developed an alternative solution (see examples below).
Sneered at by some sections of the Chinese community and often castigated by members of their own family, these types of Chinese women are saddled with guilt for marrying a non-Chinese, they fear they are non-filial or being disrespectful to their Chinese tradition, customs and heritage, but at the same time don't want to upset their White husband, the result is an improvised bastardised compromise in the form of a double barrel pseudo-Chinese-western name to save face (i.e Wong-Smith see photograph above). However, this is a false compromise, the Chinese surname/family name is formally passed through the line of the Chinese father and not the mother. The creation of the East-west double barrel name neither conforms to Chinese tradition nor Chinese custom, in creating a pseudo-western-Chinese compromise whether they like it or not, these Chinese women are treacherously and shamelessly destroying and betraying their Chinese traditional ancestral heritage, they are making up the rules as they go along as a solution to the problems they have created themselves as a consequence of their own selfish decision to break Chinese tradition by marrying a non-Chinese.
But the guilt trip doesn't stop there, complexities are taken to a new level as she reproduces a mixed race child (typically Eurasian) and raises it in the UK, the child adopts the double barrel surname. The poor confused child is given an additional Chinese name (as their middle name) to add to their western name. These shameful turtle mothers believe they can bypass both Chinese customs and the Chinese genetic factor (their hatred of Chinese men by refusing to date, marry or breed with Chinese men) and still reproduce a 'Chinese child' by breeding with a White man and artificially raising the mixed race child to be a 'Chinese' child simply by calling it 'a Chinese baby,' giving it 'a Chinese baby name' and giving it 'Chinese linguistic lessons,' in others words, they want to have their cake and eat it.
A perfect example is Fiona Falcone, a Chinese (BBC) married to an Italian and her article for
Dimsum.co.uk. She set up a '
Playcantonese' creche for parents wishing to raise their children in a Chinese Cantonese speaking environment. But why doesn't she herself speak Cantonese to the child at home instead? Because her Cantonese is too poor and her husband and his family are white and can't speak Cantonese, nor will they ever learn to speak Cantonese.

She epitomises the mentality of westernised Chinese attitudes in prioritising learning a non-Chinese second language such as Spanish, Italian, French, Latin or English (in FOB's) etc to please their non-Chinese partner, to develop their career or to pass grades....over learning their own Chinese dialect or sub-dialect. Ironically, the article is entitled ‘Keeping Cantonese Alive!’ She lays out the creche's mission objective:
“I hope (to) keep Chinese language and culture alive so that...in many years to come, my grandchildren will be wondering how to keep Cantonese alive for their children.”
You do not keep Cantonese alive by inter racially marrying with a White man, reproducing a mixed race child and raising it in the UK and still expect your grandchildren to speak Cantonese in two generations time, rather that is how you destroy Cantonese. In two generations time, her grandchildren will not be ethnic Chinese (
Discussed here). If you want a Cantonese speaking Chinese child and Cantonese Chinese speaking grandchildren, its quite simple - marry a Chinese man from a Cantonese speaking family, there is no compromise, you can't have your cake and eat it.
