When is an American not an American?

The American company “Toys R Us” announced a national sweepstake of US$25,000 in bonds for the first American baby born in 2007. Baby Lin Yuki was bornt the moment the ball dropped in Times Square in New York City. She was bornt all American in New York! Baby Yuki is an American citizen by birth because her father is an American citizen, although her mother is not a legal resident. Picture this: an illegal, blond-haired resident from Scandinavia gave birth to a blue-eyed blond girl of an American father. Congratulations all around, born in USA. Nobody is going to argue the bubbly girl is an American. Meanwhile, Chinese American corporate lawyer, Mr Albert H. Wang, has started a campaign on the “The World Journal” to convince “Toys R Us” that despite the skin colour and the almond-shaped eyes, baby Lukin is American. She will do America proud one day. CD, please support Mr Wang’s campaign to convince whites that we Chinese are human beings who bleed red blood when cut and cry inside when hurt. Don’t do this to a baby girl just because she is Chinese. “Toys R Us” has a store in Shanghai.
