Are some asian nations more asian-er than others?

[BGHKReincarnate]

Do you think some asian nations are more "asian-er" than others?

Like for example, asia is usually sterotyped to include Japan, China, Korea etc, mainly the eastern asian countries

Do you think these nations, Japan, China and Korea are more "asianer" than other countries in West Asia, like Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Or is it just the fact that the word "asian" is being defined by orientalists in the West?

BTW im not being racist, im asian myself.

This is so racist on so many levels

 

[Ventuis]

Not sure what to think of this thread.

XD I'm sorry, it's just hilarious that you say Asian-er! I can't stop laughing!

And yes that is totally racist

 

[Mellow]

Yeah. I have two asian friends and one is from the islands of Asian and the other is from southeast Asia and the one from the Philipines calls the other one "dirty"

 

[BGHKReincarnate]

Sorry i didnt mean to offend anyone, i just couldnt think of a different adjective

 

[Goetia]

I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

OT: No, it's all just Asia dude.

 

[Joon]

You mean culture wise?

 

[BGHKReincarnate]

I mean what nations come to people's mind when they hear the word "Asia"

 

[elitenoob94]

I like how you didn't mention Thailand or Cambodia in which is half my ethnicity.

 

[Callypigia]

I facepalmed after reading this thread. What exactly do you mean, like you're not a true Asian country unless you use chopsticks? Asian is Asian, every culture is unique. Don't just go on stereotypes.

 

[Multiply]

Racist.

 

[V h o]

Do you mean less diversified or something? If so a quick Google search could answer that.

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

Are you asking which country fits the stereotypes for "Asian" more?

It's just used to describe oriental people here. You can't be more Asian then another person who's country is in Asia.

 

[Ken Kaneki]

Nopes dude, no common culture binds Asia. Asia has Iraq, China , India ,even some part of Russia, Japan, etc. The cultural difference is mind boggling and certainly more diverse than NA or Europe

 

[raizzonWAN]

im asian myself, i find this hilarious.

thanks for posting.

and Yes i do agrree.

some nations are more asian-er than the others lol

 

[Conspirator.]

No they aren't. It's all stereotypes. In Australia, where I live, East Asians like Chinese, Japanese etc are your stereotypical "Asians". Meanwhile, Indians, Pakistanis, Sri Lankans etc a're all loosely grouped as "Indians". I believe it's the opposite in Britain though.

Very doubtful of this, but I could be wrong.

The term Asian you are referring to people call has nothing to do with continent, it is based on how people look. Probably westerners could not find anything else other than Asians to call people with mongoloid characteristic. South east Asians and Arabs are not called Asians even if they are in Asia. They are identified in western countries as Arabs or something else. Those people cant usually differentiate between Indian and Pakistani,Chinese and Koreans, so they group immigrant like this. I don't know why/how others widely use this terminology.

Well, West asians (Indian, Bangladesh, Pakistan) etc have darker skin pigmentation, we dark-muthaf****** stand out from the North Asians (Jap, China, Mongolia, Korea) who usually have pale-light skin.

Farout, so many people with Indian and Bangladesh backgrounds are so dark, its not funny. We disappear when the lights go out.

That goes without saying, i can usually tell what part of Asia an asian comes from by looking at their skin colour. Its very easy. West asians are dark usually, and the North and East Asians are usually lighter in colour.
