== The "Taiwanese immigrants" issue ==

Recently, several of my changes have been reverted by GuardianH. As such, I wanted to open up this disagreement to a wider audience.

Some of the facts that are not in dispute: Huang was born in Taiwan. As a child, he and his family moved to Thailand. They then moved back to Taiwan. Huang later immigrated to America. Afterward, his parents immigrated to America.

Originally, the page read that Huang was "Born to Taiwanese American immigrants". This was obviously not correct as he was born in Taiwan to Taiwanese parents and those parents would only immigrate to America after Huang. To call them "Taiwanese American" when they would only become American much later was obviously incorrect.

I removed that line, and it was replaced by "Born to Taiwanese immigrants". However, given that he was born in Taiwan where his parents lived, his parents could not have been "Taiwanese immigrants" at the time. They were either immigrants to Taiwan (in which case it should say that), or they were Taiwanese natives (which is almost certainly the case).

The case was made by GuardianH that "immigrant does not simply refer to their status at the time of JH's birth... that they did so after his birth is irrelevant". That does not seem true to me; I do not believe that post facto status changes are relevant to the facts of a birth. Take a couple of hypotheticals - if his parents immigrated somewhere else 50 years after he was born, would he then be "born to immigrants"? If his parents died after his birth, would he be born to dead parents? Obviously not I think in the 2nd case. I would also argue not in the 1st case either. In which case we have a line drawing issue; when can they have immigrated for them to be immigrant parents? It seems there two be only one clear delineating point in time - the point in time when he was actually born.

GuardianH obviously knows that this line of reasoning is a strong one - despite reverting my changes, he changed it to "The son of Taiwanese immigrants". This is technically true in a way the others were not - he is indeed the son of Taiwanese people who immigrated to America. However, I feel that this phrasing is misleading - the immigrant status of his parents is not very relevant to the life of Huang as it is superseded by Huang's own prior immigration.

So here is my question - are there any other articles at this time (2026-04-19 at 5AM UTC) where an immigrant is said to be the child of immigrant parents, if those parents did not immigrate before the child? Some examples where this is NOT said - Yan Gomes, Bob Hope and Sergey Brin. All immigrated, all of their parents immigrated, none saying that they were born to or are the child of immigrant parents in the articles.

I submit that if the answer is "no", then this article should similarly be changed to mimic the rest of the site, and it should be changed to "Born to Taiwanese parents".

Thank you all,
