as a southeast asian chinese myself, they feel like the clueless grouchy distant cousin still clinging to grandma or something lol. a mainlander tourist once asked us if we were chinese and we forgot the right chinese words of how to say overseas chinese so we ended up saying something like we were locals or something and they seemed so dumbfounded like what we said was something so impossible since we looked prominently chinese. they began comparing their arm to ours and said that we didn't have a different skin tone lol. (since locals of my country were a bit more brown skinned) felt really accidentally racist of them lol but they were pretty clueless anyways.

every country where chinese immigrate to slowly form a small chinese subculture. the local chinese subculture can be compared like that of the relationship of britain and the old colonial british that settled america. both of which don't think of each other that often, usually they only contact each other because of leftover family. though generally they perceive each other differently from then on. i am chinese-filipino, our history here in my country as minority population spans more than a thousand years just like all other southern chinese communities in southeast asia like those in singapore, malaysia, indonesia, etc. our history here is kinda similar with how the jews are in europe decades ago. of course, mainlander dont care about us. especially most of our ancestors are cultures of southern chinese dialects so only people who care about us back in china are old family villages or relatives that still live in china. china has the world's largest population so most mainlanders grew up not knowing and caring about us since to them, we are the same as their neighbor's distant relative who they never met.

@TK B it doesnt always become an enclave. In singapore, malaysia and indonesia, some places had enclaves but in other places like my country in philippines and others like thailand and indonesia, the diaspora is spread out into the populace and only in colonial times which had cultural enclaves such as the first and oldest chinatown in the world in manila but chinese-filipino history is more characterized with centuries of assimilation and sporadic replenishment of it from events in china that spur repeated influx of migration. Here usually, it takes only one generation in the least to the 3rd or 5th generation (in extreme cases) at most for chinese filipinos to naturally be absorbed and be untraceably be mixed in the populace. currently, 36% of the genepool has chinese admixture where most of whom don't realize that they do or only vaguely know since this ancestry was centuries ago in the 1800s or further. then only 1.8% are pure chinese which were replenished immigrants from 1900s. I believe in singapore its around 3/4s the population are historical chinese immigrants while malaysia has around 25%. I think these countries have a higher rate of might i say "purity" from i guess enclaves that have sucessfully developed and propagated though it is sad that some parts of their history involve racial riots and massacres because of this as if they were jews. here not as much of that. only like once or twice centuries back in colonial times when enclaves were institutionally established.
