    Her parents are chinese and since she was born in romania I guess she got the romanian citizenship

    yap in many European countries if parents are there legally and have some business or are working for this example under/co-operating with Romanian company then it's natural to give a child nationality from the country in which it was born.

    I'm pretty sure it's like this in most countries throughout the world. If you're born while residing in a specific country, that's your nationality. Just how certain celebrities, such as Jessica and Tiffany, are American because they were born while in the United States. Ethnically they are still Korean.

    no, i wasn't talking about that. :) the definition is the issue.

    i'm from serbia, a homogenous country which is also romanian neighboring country, and here ethnicity and nationality mean the same. nationality used in the bio is citizenship here. you cannot be a minority, any minority including white, and have the nationality of majority. for example, slovaks (who are also white) have lived here since 1700s and nobody would ever identify them as serbs, not us nor them, they are proud of their slovak nationality


    waiting for didi to answer this question. or if you know someone else who's romanian, @ them :)

    ah chingu listen not always you can have everything in your ID/passport... for example some of my great-grannies were living in land which is now in Ukraine, but then it was Polish land... what does it make me? Things are complicated this is what it is :)


    not mentioning that I'm actually even now an Silesian even tho I'm living in Poland, and as well I'm a Pole. And I also can't put this anywhere on paper because Silesia isn't autonomous region but just an voivodeship.

    People are right. Her parents are probably Chinese but she has Romanian citizenship as she was born here. But there's also the truth you mention, and that is most people would not consider her Romanian, no matter if she was born here, since she doesn't "fit it".


    Anyways, the theoretical definition agrees with the Romanian nationality and Chinese ethnicity (just like gypsies here have Romanian nationality and Romma ethnicity), but practically, in the public eyes she doesn't really pass as a Romanian if you asked a rando on a street (even if they know she was born here).


    But nevermind that, WTF 8| I saw "Romanian K-pop idol" and my mind went empty! This is cool! And it says that she speaks Romanian <3
