  I wouldn't say i've met any Chinese who try to come off as non-Chinese, in fact I find most Chinese very proud of their nationality, I do find it strange however how much effort some students make to work on an accent though, it seems pointless or suggests an aspiration to emulate the people of that country in some way, yet those self same people have been confident people and didn't give me the impression they were not happy to be Chinese.

Yes. They usually smiled way too much like creeps, and got disappointed when I wasn't like some foreigner they saw on a TV show, giving me bland lectures starting with "I know in you country...."

 

Fun Fact: One guy accused me of hating Chinese when I refused to kiss him on the cheek after he ordered me to again and again. He seemed to feel that all foreigners hug and kiss on cheeks and I wasn't giving him the full cultural experience that he'd earned by seeing a white guy.

"Yo yo yo! Hey man!" This guy always says that to me. He lives on my street and tries to dress like a rapper. When he greets me he throws up a half-assed gang sign. Not sure he even knows what it is.
