When referring to the offspring of immigrants, there are various synonyms for the term "second-generation." These include "second-gen," "2G," "American-born," or "native-born." Additionally, depending on the specific cultural background of the parents, there may be more specific terms describing the second-generation, such as "Nisei" for Japanese-American second-generation or "Hoa Kỳ sinh" for Vietnamese-American second-generation. Another possible synonym for the term could be "two-way citizens," referring to those who have roots in both their parents' home country and the country where they were born and raised. Regardless of terminology, second-generation individuals often face unique cultural and identity challenges as they navigate living between two cultures.
