Do you still have native-level pronunciation and grammar skills in Cantonese? Forgetting words is one thing, that happens, and words can be relearned. I've lived abroad for 5 years now in my 20s, and even I've lost some vocabulary in my native language.

If you no longer know the grammar or the pronunciation well, then it's a more legitimate question if it is your native language anymore.

Either way, you are some sort of bilingual. In fact, some people grow up like that where I come from: with two native languages, one of which is oftentimes stronger / more eloquent due to education, social life, etc.

Pitkällä jänteellä ammattiliittojen aseman heikentämisellä on vahvoja negatiivisia vaikutuksia. Yhdysvalloista voi katsoa mallia, siellä liitoilla oli 60-70-luvuilla vielä suht merkittävä asema, ja sen myötä työntekijöiden oikeudet olivat ihan kohtalaiset. Sittemmin liittojen alasajo on johtanut työntekijöiden oikeuksien radikaaliin huonontumiseen.

This made me look up "whole word reading", and it just made me irrationally angry. To be fair, English isn't my native language and I don't have a recollection of learning how to read, but "whole word learning" sounds insane. But like... Why would you do that if you are using an alphabet?

Immune to marketing? Or unable to be sold

Nepotism is usually restricted to familial relations by definition, but networking can work in a very similar way sometimes. I.e. lead to unjustified hiring decisions. I guess the more relevant questions are: was it fair and are you qualified to do the job in practice? Instead of whether it technically falls under nepotism.

An exponent between 1 and 2 would be better than either.

Sounds uniquely american. Is it?
