Stupid question, I know. As you may of guessed, I am quite ignorant. I admit it.
Now please, answer the question: Is Bruce Lee Chinese?

He's Chinese born in America.
Bruce Jun Fan Lee (November 27, 1940 in San Francisco - July 20, 1973 in Hong Kong) was a Chinese American martial artist and actor widely regarded as the most influential, famous and celebrated martial artist of the 20th century. Lee's films, especially his performance in the Hollywood-produced Enter the Dragon, elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level. His pioneering efforts paved the way for future martial artists and martial arts actors such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Chuck Norris.

He was American of Chinese descent. He was born in the United States, he is buried in the United States. His parents were in San Francisco since his father was in a Chinese Opera troupe touring the US when Bruce was born in 1940. The family was essentially on vacation and went back to Hong Kong. Later in life, Bruce came back to the US as a citizen, since he was born here. He later moved to China for his career later in life.
