My new love word is chindian. A Chindian is a person of mixed heritage, specifically Indian and Chinese. Therefore, my kids will be classified as a Chindian. I really hope that it’s not an offensive term in some part of the world. According to this WIKI article, there is a significant population of Chindians in Malaysia and Singapore. I would have guessed the latter, but not really Malaysia. And it’s also obvious that they would exist in the West Indies. I wonder what my family in India thinks of Chinese, Indo-Chinese and Chindians.
