They don’t need to completely abandon it, but a healthy amount interaction with traditional Americans and American culture from a young age will be enough to counteract the programming.

I would agree. But which set of political paradigms would they need to observe? If someone who is white spoke beamingly of "German Engineering" when admiring a Mercedes that wouldn't be taken as unAmerican. But can you honestly say that an Asian person who speaks beamingly of "Japanese Reliability" and "Japanese Technology" wouldn't be seen as more unAmerican than the white guy who speaks beamingly of "German Engineering"?

I'm not trying to be contenteous. I'm just trying to relay, that political correctness swings both ways. Just look at what started this thread and all the highly negative things that are said. If the Queen of England came into town, she would get a huge reception and no one would question the motives.

It has nothing to do with political correctness. These attitudes are ingrained in Asian cultures for thousands of years.

You’re the one who’s being political correct. You’re the one who is making the assumption that “all cultures are essentially similar”, that when Chinese Americans cheer the warships of the PRC, that it’s no different from a WASP American applauding the Queen of England. When in reality they are completely different, they are completely different because Chinese culture is *not* the same as English culture, and the motivation behind the actions are not the same.
