to my understanding

f.o.b - fresh off the boat. Asian that refuses intergrate into the western society. They hangout with their own group of asain friends, dress in the lastest asian fashion (or not the lastest). Only speak english when they have to and when do speak they speak with an accent. favorite past time would be stuff like karaoke, drinking bubble tea etc.

a.b.c and c.b.c - american born chinese and canadian born chinese. This does not necessary refer to thoese born in USA or CAN it mean asians that are so white-wash that they prefer speaking english to their native tongue, usually have perfect english. They dress western style and hang out with peeps of different race. favorite past time would be watching the latest blockbuster, going to starbucks etc...

of course this is just the common stereotype. there are many local sterotypes attach to these name.. such as where i live f.o.b are stereotype as rich and rude.

i agree with the definition... its so true... well i'm a cbc (chinese born canadian) and where i live, toronto, ontario... theres a lot of Fob's here... aswell a lot of chinese ppl, its seriously over populated with a lot really rich ppl from HK...
