But WHERE are you FROM? | Growing up NZ Chinese | Xin xi lan | Stuff.co.nz
READ MORE: bit.ly/3rn5bx5 | Being born in two cultures sometimes means you don’t know where you belong. Growing up NZ Chinese means being told you don’t look ‘Kiwi’ even if Aotearoa is the only home you’ve known.
Reporter Sally Kidson and visual journalists Virginia Woolf and Braden Fastier explore what it means to be New Zealand Chinese and the unique racism that attracts.

I've never heard someone be asked "where are you from" I've heard alot of pakeha be told "go back where you came from" thought.
As a NZBC i am proud to be a kiwi and if other kiwis can't accept that that is there problem not mine i feel grateful for being born here as well i am one of the lucky ones
Thanks for sharing Knowing your pepeha helps every individual. No matter what mix of cultures you come from. Maori are asked "where are you from?" (no hea koe?) It's not a challenge or an insult but a way to form connections. I'm glad these three have found peace in acknowledging their existence. Where are you from isn't a racist slur. It's a conversation starter.

You said it beautifully, because I use to say 'where are you from'? and still do but now I add, and 'where are your ancestors from'? Because most Māori are both curious and interested in a person's whakapapa, turangawae, Tīpuna despite their indigeneity. As Māori we are/I am genuinely out of respect wanting to know because it acknowledges a person's indigenous pathway to the past, present and future, and that's what we are about past, present and future.
