It just feels so weird to be deemed as ___ decendency eventhough not practicing anything about it at all, and to be deemed to be from ____ hometown eventhough I very seldomly go there

Ah see this is what the people I met would say is not correct

From the tone of your reply I believe you do not wish to set these places to be your hometown, nor you want to trace back and practice your roots anymore.

The choice is ultimately up to you, i see some ktards already given you advice on tracing your root and general Chinese traditions.

In the future, you may choose the liberal approach : just say the place you settled down as hometown, and labeled yourself as "Msian/Asian chinese" from now on no need to mention any dialect / root since you speak English.
This is commonly practiced by alot of modern chinese [Bananas/ABC] nowadays who either lost their roots / family contact from China, or just wish move forward by setting root on themselves instead.
