I really never saw many of those during my time in NY. If I did, they probably were there from the WC for college.

 

[danger style]

East coast>west coast

 

[computersputin]

[computersputin]

Well is India in Asia?

The key is to respect each others opinion, listen , learn and also teach.

I know we're supposed to respect each other but after this:

East coast>west coast

....

Russia is a special case where it's located in Asia and Europe. The majority of the population lives in the West "European" part of Russia, but 77% of the land mass is in Asia.

i've thought about this from time to time but have never actually looked up what racial demographic russians qualify as.

the geography of Asia outside of Southeast and East Asia in general is interesting as hell. you start going into Central and West Asia, you've got all the -Stan countries (Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, etc), the Arab countries...places that I wouldn't immediately think of as "Asia." nonetheless, I'm guilty as hell of knowing close to nothing about geography.

If you go to Korea and ask a white girl “you Russian” that’s slang for “are you a prostitute”

 

[computersputin]

I may be talking out my ***, but the concept of Asians is a more western concept, while they look at themselves as Individual citizens of their countries. Like a Korean would identify themselves as Korean, and not think to themselves that they are Asian as well.

Like it doesn't run through their mind the need to classify themselves as Asian.

Indian girls are lowkey bad.

Post it.

I remember reading somewhere that MSG is actually not that bad for you and it was some ploy to destroy Chinese restaurants.

this definitely makes a lot of sense. when i visited family in Cambodia, they were strictly Cambodian. there was no sense of a shared pan-ethnic identity with neighboring countries that made them embrace "Asian."

context is everything: the concept of race is either a social or political construction depending on how it serves you or serves those in power. case in point, in the 1900s, south asian indians were classified as Caucasian but at the same time not considered White strictly so they so they couldn't get citizenship here in the U.S.

I mean technically there are only 4 races

negroid, caucasoid, mongoloid and australoid

 

[mastamind033]

In the UK when they say Asian, they usually mean Indians and others from South Asia.

Uzbekistan has a decent amount of Koreans that were forced there from Russia by Stalin.

A lot of Kazakhstans have a lot of similar features to East Asians. I know a couple that you’d swear were Korean or Chinese until you heard them speak.
