Why do some Asians think they are white?

Why do some Asians people think they are white? Hello your skin color is yellow. You are not white! There this girl I know she half Chinese and Filipino. She acts white. When you ask her does she speak Chinese or Tagalog. She said no. Are you ashamed of what you are. I notice some Asians parents doesn't want there kids to speak Chinese cause they want there kids to fit in. They are stupid. It's good to know another language. The more you know the better. I try to learn more then one language. It's good cause you could used it for the future.
