The word "Chinese" has multiple implications, just like any other words like "English" , "German" and "French"~~~ When you are in a place where majority of the public speaks Cantonese (which is a local dialect of Chinese), asking a person to "Speak Chinese" means you want that person to speak in that local dialect, i.e. Cantonese in this case! 公仔箱論壇; ?2 u) F# ~9 o8 s# Z1 _4 w, c1 h

I think your interpretation of "Chinese" being just a human race is far too superficial ~~~ 5 Y& z' N) ^3 [8 A' `
