A Han person and Hui person from the same province probably have more in common than two Han people from a few provinces away (or god forbid, across the north-south divide).
I know Cantonese people who think Vietnamese people are closer to them than some Dongbeiren.
Oh yeah totally. I have a Vietnamese friend who looks more "Chinese" than my Cantonese friend who looks more "Vietnamese".
The north south divide is real man. When I lived in Shanghai before internet shopping became common, I had to go back north to get clothes because they don't stock stuff in my size down south.
That guy in particular is probably a han supremacist tho.
They are more Cantonese chauvinists than Han supremacists, especially once you hear the shit they say about the Hakka.
The concept of a Cantonese chauvinist is really funny to me for some reason. Like, logically I can resumably guess what it would entail, but it's really funny to draw the line at being compared those godforsaken heathens up in Shandong or in Sichuan
