What Three Letters Are You?

Today's flavor of the day is strawberry milk tea. Tastes like bubble gum. I give it two stars out of five.
Over the weekend I had a chance to do more exploring of Vancouver. You can find pictures in my gallery.
On a completely different topic, I was speaking with someone about my background today when I started to ponder on whether or not it is appropriate to use the terms ABC, BBC and CBC. If you don't know, ABC stands for American Born Chinese, BBC stands for British Born Chinese and CBC stands for Canadian Born Chinese. In our very PC world today, is it ok to use these terms? Would any of these aforementioned groups be offended to be labeled a three-letter abbreviation?
Personally I've heard and used the three letters to characterize myself many times before, but now that I find myself with other groups of "_BCs", I'm not sure if they find the label offensive. If anyone can shed any light on this topic, I'll treat you to a bubble tea!
