Identity Crisis?

I came across an article about Malays who are trying to be Arabs. The article points out that Malays are ashamed of their own identity so much so that they would try to look like the Arabs by wearing clothes like the jubahs, and speaking like the Arabs, for example using 'ana' and 'anta' when they converse among themselves.

In my opinion, this identity crisis is more prominent among the chinese because the chinese have the tendency to use Christian names even though they are not. Why? Aren't they proud of their chinese names? Sometimes, they say that their names are Cindy, Anne or Patricia and they can't even speak proper english. I find this even harder to understand.
