Bizarre Observation Of The Day

If you are Chinese and your are born in another country, you are, by ethnic designation, usually associated with a television network in that country.

For example, Singapore Born Chinese can be known as SBCs, which, until recently, was also the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation. Similarly British Born Chinese can be BBCs, while American Born Chinese are ABCs and Canadian Born Chinese are CBCs.

Unfortunately this all falls apart when you talk about Japan since there is no JBC network, only NHK and I don’t know how the hell you’d get a Chinese Born association out of that.
