that's like asking a person who's white / native american(indian) what race they are, you pick the most obvious one, you choose Asian although you're not from Asia but you technically are part of that continent. I see what you're getting at and yes there probably should be an option for Indian on the form.

I guess it's better than picture of xzibit.

It hasn't been 20 more posts yet, so I won't be posting that for a bit, and it'll be quite some time before I get another 20 posts.

They have nothing Asian, except they're located on the Asian continent.

I don't get what you mean by this. What's an Asian to you?

He's talking about the physical characteristics such as "asian eyes". Westerners typically affiliate "asian" with the eastern most asian countries such as China, Vietnam, Japan, etc.

while true, and a little humorous I might add, there are also Sri Lankans, Pakistanis, Singaporean Indians and Malaysian Indians in Asia. And i'm a Malay, of Javanese origin. Its just more complex than just to have "asian/slanty eyes"


What's an Asian?
"My eight-year-old daughter did something a few weeks ago that surprised me. She asked me what “Asian” meant. In Britain, Asian is usually taken to describe people of South Asian origin—Pakistani, Bengali, Indian and Sri Lankan, unlike America where Asian generally denotes East Asians. People my age and older have been grouped into one of a few broad categories: white, black or Asian, with little ambiguity about this. It surprised me that my daughter did not identify herself with this label. "

But I think I can understand where ruplayer is coming from.

Anyway, off topic but I found this hilarious.

Yep, indians are classified as having asian race. Hilarious pic spartacus, hahaha.
