为《娘惹》身份平反：
名门后裔被误释为中巫混血
名门后裔被误释为中巫混血
这个兔年以娘惹式来拜年，朋友们问：“哦！你们是娘惹吗？”、“还不知道你们就是娘惹呢” 、甚至有人直接问：“你的谁是混合马来血统的？”，更有人说：“你的皮肤白皙，都不像是混血的娘惹！”，甚至有人说：“原来你是娘惹，难怪你的鼻子这么高挺！”
其实，娘惹的称呼及解说有古今两种注解版本。
根 据维基百科及百度百科的注解，《峇峇娘惹》（或稱土生華人/侨生）原本是指十五世纪初期定居在海峡殖民地（马六甲、槟榔屿和新加坡）一带的中國明朝移民后 裔，大部分的原籍是中国福建或广东潮汕地区，小部分是广府和客家籍，都是上流社会的大商賈或名門望族之後裔，陆续到南洋来在北马地区及泰南边境进行园丘、 锡矿、米较、树胶、鸦片、出入口贸易等。
《娘惹》是随这批南渡商贾的夫人、女儿及女性后裔，她们在英殖民時代逐渐本土化，都入乡随俗穿起马来沙龙，也把子女送入英政府开办的英校，当中有不少都信奉了基督教。
由於她们家世良好，散发着一股高尚优雅的气质，非富则贵，也拥有不一样的经济地位及文化背景，当地的马来族群为示对这群拥有重要社会地位的妇女表示尊重与爱戴，当时都以旧式马来语“娘惹”尊称之，相当於英语中的“Madam”尊称。
那个时候，虽然同样是由中国南来，《娘惹》与《新客》的区分却很大，即社会地位的差别，娘惹们都是本地人的老板娘，而新客则是一般劳动阶级的苦力。
这个说法也完全符合了当年我家曾祖母、流传至阿嬷，再一代承传一代给我们的口传历史相符。负责槟州旅游事务的前任槟州行政议员拿督纪碧真就也是其中一个大望族的娘惹后裔。
名门后裔被误释为中巫混血
然而，目前被广泛流传及文化定点宣传的《娘惹》，却是采用源自於中南马的注解版本，即从中国南来马六甲的华裔与大马巫裔通婚之后所生的儿女，男子称为，女生称为娘惹，是文化民族相交的结晶。
因 此，曾祖母及阿嬷等长辈们的娘惹身份地位，在现今的注解里，反而被误以为是中巫通婚的后代，造成每当我们被人惊讶地问起：哦！你是娘惹啊？！，都显得无从 回答。历史上我们确是娘惹的后裔，即从中国南渡的名门之后，可是如果依据目前的旅游文化宣传，却成了中巫混血儿，实在纳闷！ ##
现代娘惹也有俏皮时
