You may know the English letters A,B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But did you know there is such a thing as a "banana person" "How strange! Are these people from "another earth"? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a "banana person". A banana is yellow outside and white inside.
