Talk:List of British Chinese people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Naming
The standard for naming such articles is for the country of origin to be first and the country of destination to be second.
As such, 'British Chinese' should be used for people from Britain who becoame Chinese citizens. Then 'Chinese British' should be used for poeple from China who became British citizens. This would match nearly all other articles, lists, categories for such people. If this is not not done, what can people from Britain, now Chinese citizens be called?

- Every single British person (whether of chinese origin or not) uses the term "British Chinese" to denote British citizens of Chinese origin. The "standard" you talk about is only an American one.Shapiro-israel 08:40, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
