PCkinaasien

PCkinaasien, also known as PCkina, is a term used to describe a person of Chinese descent who was born in the Netherlands. The term is a portmanteau of "PC" (short for "Postcode," a Dutch term for postal code) and "kinaasien" (a Dutch term for "Chinese"). This term is often used to refer to the second generation of Chinese immigrants who were born in the Netherlands, as well as their descendants.

The term PCkinaasien emerged in the late 20th century as a way to distinguish between the first generation of Chinese immigrants, who often arrived in the Netherlands in the early 20th century, and the second generation, who were born in the Netherlands. The term is not universally accepted and is often considered derogatory by some members of the Chinese community in the Netherlands.

Despite the controversy surrounding the term, PCkinaasien has become a part of the cultural landscape of the Netherlands, particularly among younger generations. It is often used in a lighthearted or humorous context, and is not intended to be offensive. However, it is important to note that the term can be sensitive and should be used with care.

In recent years, there has been a growing movement among PCkinaasien to reclaim the term and use it as a source of pride and identity. This has led to the creation of various PCkinaasien organizations and events, which aim to celebrate and promote Chinese culture in the Netherlands. Despite the ongoing debate surrounding the term, PCkinaasien remains an important part of the cultural fabric of the Netherlands.
