Easier said than done....
Does speaking Romans when in Romes makes you one of the local tribe ?
Goes back to the core of this Topic - Does speaking "English" makes a Chinese more "angmoh"  ? 
Canadian Chinese Alex explains nicely the cruel reality of his identity conflict as shared in my 1st post.

...Of course I am anti-Western because I am so Westernised to the core, in my whole education and outlook. And yet, I self-identify as a Chinese, not a Canadian-Chinese, not Canadian-Hongkonger but simply a Chinese. Why? Because when I look in the mirror, I see a Chinese. Other people look at me and they see a Chinese, not a Westerner. They don’t see my wholly Westernised soul. When they hear me speak English, they hear my heavy Chinese accent. When I was young, I was ashamed of my accent. Now, like Martin Yan of Yan Can Cook, I deliberately exaggerate it; I am proud of it because my first language is Chinese (Cantonese).

Like a lot of first-generation Americans, members of Vo’s troupe feel an urgency to keep traditions and their communities close.

Vo’s nieces, Mi Vo and Dao Than, have been dancing with him since he founded the Cultural Heritage Center. They were delighted to join, but they didn’t realize until they were older how much the practice would mean to them.

Their parents, and Vo, immigrated to the U.S. from Vietnam. Maintaining a connection their country was important to them, especially as their girls grew up without the cultural trappings they left behind. Than and Mi spoke Vietnamese in the house when they were kids; the lion dancing also helped instill them with a sense of where they came from.

This may partly explain the higher avg IQ in other studies on East Asians - the ability to see things in wider scope while no missing the nuance.
This is also why Chinese understand the Americans far better than the other way.

Chinese and American people see the world differently – literally. While Americans (westerners) focus on the central objects of photographs, Chinese individuals pay more attention to the image as a whole. “There is plenty of anecdotal evidence suggesting that Western and East Asian people have contrasting world-views,” explains Richard Nisbett, who carried out the study. “Americans break things down analytically, focusing on putting objects into categories and working out what rules they should obey,” he says. By contrast, East Asians have a more holistic philosophy, looking at objects in relation to the whole. “Figuratively, Americans see things in black and white, while East Asians see more shades of grey,” says Nisbett. “We wanted to devise an experiment to see if that translated to a literal difference in what they actually see.”

Looking at all the cursed and hate, it does reflect the same sort of experience that Alex experience as  Chinese Canadian... 

So what do they have to show other than calling you a "wumao" or "commie" simply because they disagree with you... 

Just ask S'prean Chew of what he experience in the Canada's only next-door neighborhood...
