Some of you are so ignorant.
 I mean, ok, so we've got that the Philippines is part of the Pacific Island region which is a part of Asia... what are you guys not getting here? Being Asian is NOT BASED ON OPINION. It is fact, either true or false. WTF. What if I told you, I know you're born in China, you were raised in China, you know Chinese culture and language, but in my opinion, you're NOT Chinese. Does that make any sense? Or would you think I'm an idiot too. Is it because some of us don't have "chinky" eyes, are darker skinned, because we don't look "asian"? I mean, people from India are Asian. What, do you not think they're Asian either cuz they don't look like you? Go to school, read a book. Educate yourselves. And I wouldn't suggest you talk about this with educated people because they'll laugh at you. QUOTE Asian
adj. - Of or relating to Asia or its peoples, languages, or cultures. n. - 1) A native or inhabitant of Asia. 2) A person of Asian descent. Source: Dictionary.com |
