Is there any point for "us" (mostly the Vietnamese people) to consider him as a "Teochew" (I know I won't)? He speaks Teochew language? Does he call/consider/refer himself as Chinese? Have an ancestral village in China to pay homage (real Chinese know what it means)? He looks like a Chinese, really? Or a typical "brown monkey" aka Khmer, Cham, Native SEA, etc. (that's what the Vietnamese told me). Is obvious he is a mix of X and Y and Z, and so forth. (Go learn some DNA, then come back to me again).

So, when one was mixed to the a degree of unrecognizable by "his fellow Chinese", would he/she still be consider of being a Chinese?

How much Chinese blood does he have? 1%? 10%? 50%? 1/2? 1/16? 1/32? Really?!!? Does it really matter? He's a Vietnamese, not Chinese. Period.

Do a search on the internet, people are bashing "these people" who have inferiority complex. I understand the history of living under the Chinese Imperialism for thousands of years, but that does not make them a Chinese.

Fair use rationale for Image:Sammi 1.jpg

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

Taiwan

Do any Teochew people live in Taiwan? Badagnani (talk) 16:10, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Reply: I think there are, but the group is probably too small; just like you don't really find Cantonese in Taiwan. During those days, it is the Hakkas from Guangdong who migrated to Taiwan

Reply 2: Rainie Yang is Cantonese. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.138.156.2 (talk) 22:36, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

I have removed the belowed as Danny Lee is known to be a Shanghaiese.

History

The history section claims that their ancestors came from north China (Henan and Shanxi). Surely this is very unlikely given the closeness of the Teowchiu language and the Minnan language. However it is claimed/known that the Hakka (Kejia) people, who are neighbours of the Chaozhou people, were originally from Henan and Shanxi. Did someone get their lines crossed about the Chaozhou people and the Hakka people in the writing of this section? 86.162.140.127 (talk) 01:19, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Notable people section is too long

The "Notable Teochew people" takes up over half the length of the article as it currently stands. It should either be split to its own article, or significantly trimmed. (Also, it is quite poorly sourced, but that's a separate matter.) V2Blast (talk) 07:20, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
