QUOTE(Sumiaki @ Dec 27 2004, 2:34 AM) I think people are getting two words confused, Oriental and Asian. Many people say that Indians are not Asian, although they are a part of Asia. They are asian, they are just not oriental. I really think this "catergorizing" is completely Bullsh*t. It's completely not necessary, it just adds confusion and promotes stereotyping. Exactly why this thread irks me. I mean, I encounter a lot of people all the time who have this misconception of who's Asian and who's not but these are people of non-Asian descent so I guess I can't blame them entirely for being confused. But for people of Asian backgrounds to be so ignorant about their OWN race.... |
