:cheers: :cheers:

[Bires]

Haha.

You go and be that, then! :) More power to ya. I really like your cars. Keep up the good work.



Me. I'd love to tell you my racial and cultural decent, but I'm not allowed, because I'm not a minority and my ancestors didn't get enslaved or beat up in their history (unless you count the Roman occupation...but no one does) :shrug:

Oh...did I mention that I have blond hair and blue eyes, and am male? How's about that for being the target of every reverse discrimination innuendo this side of the Atlantic? Oh well. Some people just have to suffer, I guess. What are you gonna do? I think I'll go have some tea with The Man and talk about the guilt we're supposed to feel. ;)




Oh ya... can we get back to bashing on p3rsion now?

Asians get the best of both worlds... a minority and yet no one second guesses how you got a good job.

i deal with high schoolers a lot...mostly asian. english/history/other humanities seem to be the subject of choice with more and more asians. of course, we still have a lot of math geeks but things are starting to balance out a bit.

Hell yea! Azn Pride!

I suck at math, but Im an artist. I can shred any other azn's butt off on the guitar :guitar: Hard to find some dedicated azn musicians, unless your in Japan. I was farely impressed when I went there to see the great rock scene they have there. Loudness man!

<psycho>
Oriental is a rug, not a race
</psycho>

[xsiled2]

asian isnt a race.

unless it includes the people from every country listed above.

[ray]

unless it includes the people from every country listed above.

That's not correct. You are including countries in Southwest Asia which are not typically considered Asian.

[xsiled2]

asia is asia.

india is central asia
russia is across the whole of asia.

[ray]

asia is asia.

india is central asia
russia is across the whole of asia.

Southwest Asia is not considered Asian. It's usually considered Middle/Near Eastern.

By your logic, Canadians are American. So are Mexicans.

Got|Pho anybody???

Proud to be Vietnamese but I'm in Thai food.

no not at all.

Asia isnt a country.

Canadians and Mexicans can be considered North American by my logic, nothing more.

[zenbooty]

Got|Pho anybody???I like bun better.

[Memo]

India is not Central Asia or Southwest Asia, it's considered South Asia. And yes, they are Asian.

You can't blame the "AZN"s for stealing the word Asian though. We stole the word "American." American's could technically be from any of the 2 American continents.

[xsiled2]

United States of America

Well, then both of us are correct. We should redefine everything so it's the way it should be...Viva la revolucion! wait...

Perhaps a world map, that we create with where you are from and what you wil be required to call yourself.. I dont think i should be an american, I'm a californian... 5th Largest economny in the world, and i'd rather be connected to that then some bush.

Can I call myself "El Presidente"?

Yeah, it does suck. I'm asian but I can't do math, I can handle alcohol, don't smoke, not into blondes, don't care about how people see me and consider a car a form of transportation, nothing more. I think they're talking about pulling my asian status. I can't let it happen. I can NOT go back to paying full price for crab. :neartears :neartears

[Sir_Froggy]

Well, that's easy...I offered them my services for "five dollah, five dollah"

:laugh:

i think it would actualy be "fi dollah, fi dollah"

[LegendKiller]

I have always wondered....do asian people have a problem being called "Orientals"?


There was a woman in some of my undergrad classes that would flip and say that is demeaning towards asians.


LK

[molecularfire]

Yeah, that confuses me too. For years, I referred to myself as an oriental until an indian friend of mine pointed out to me that I was being racist against myself.

[eSDee]

I have always wondered....do asian people have a problem being called "Orientals"?



Yes.

[LegendKiller]

Yes.



Why is it such a big deal? Is it something about being "lumped" into a group or is there some sinister former use of the word?

[Mike_N_Ike]

I've heard people say that 'oriental' refers to objects - like an oriental rug...while 'asian' is the correct term to refer to people.

I don't remember that always being the case...so how it got to be that way, I don't know.

i don't care.

[zenbooty]

Most asians I've met don't like being called oriental. It kinda falls in with the "They all look alike" thing. Asian culture has a long history, and many distinct people and cultures. And not all those cultures get along all the time, or desire to be grouped in with each other.

Well the word "asia" itself was invented by the Greeks to describe middle easterners, so I think we have perverted the original meaning a bit.
