  1. He also looks Asian, he could pass in a lot of areas of South or Southeast Asia.

  2.  @listentologic  Yes but not exactly like that. Native Americans are descendants of Ancient North Eurasians and a Basal East Asian lineage that is related to North Asians (Siberians) as well as to East Asians and Southeast Asians and more broadly to other East Eurasian lineages of Oceania and Asia. That's why he can pass as Asian. He's not biologically "Asian" though. He's biologically mostly of East Eurasian descent hence his appearance.

  3.  @ni3070  To answer your question, nobody in Asia uses terms like "brown" or "yellow". In fact, the usage of "brown" is an American colloquialism. It's not a very common term used outside of the US. Concepts like "brown" mean nothing in an Asian context because it only describes skin tone and not genetics or culture. For example, there are many light skinned Newar people in Nepal and there are also many dark skinned Newar people in Nepal. Nobody in Asia would ever consider dark skinned Newar people as "brown" and light skinned Newar people as "yellow" - they're just Newar people. Labels like "brown" were created by White people to describe non-White people.

  6. East Asian Americans are notorious for peddling this trope. Not all but it's always them that claim East Asians are only Asians. It's such an American issue.

  7.  @ni3070  Nepal is culturally closer to India but genetically speaking Nepalis are genetically closer to both South Asians and East Asians (Tibetans to be specific). Some groups are closer to South Asians, some closer to East Asians and some are related to both South Asians and East Asians like the Newar people.

  8.  @kaneidareyue7715  Asian is a term to describe people from Asia, it's nothing more. Indians are not Arabic/Middle Eastern or Torres Strait Islanders. What? Indians are culturally Indic and related to other South and Southeast Asians. Genetically, Indians are a mix of West Eurasian (Euro/Mid-East-related) ancestry and East Eurasian (AASI) ancestry which is genetically closer to Basal East Asians and Australasians.

  9.  @listentologic  No he's not biologically Asian. Asian means somebody from Asia. There is no "biological Asian" race.
    15
  10. @don't ping I rarely check Caucasian is an outdated racial term from the 19th century. Nepalis/South Asians aren't Caucasian. Caucasian described skull shape, nobody in the scientific community uses that term. You can't determine ethnicity by skull shape, only a genetic test can reveal that. South Asians are mostly a mix of Ancestral North Indian (ANI) and Ancestral South Indian (ASI) components. That's why even in the 19th century, Indians/South Asians were sometimes classified as "mixed" or "unclassified" by anthropologists like Carleton S. Coon because South Asians are so diverse and modern science has shown us why South Asians were so hard to classify back in the 19th century. Nepalis/South Asians are basically mixed. Some groups are closer to other South Asians and some are closer to East Asians and some are close to both.

  11.  @Jambudvipa-ug6yg  They're Asians, burstchaos

  12.  @ni3070  It's only used racially outside of Asia. In Asia "Asian" isn't considered race. For example, in Singapore, all Singaporeans of Indian, Chinese and Malay descent are considered "Asian". There are different terms used to denote race within Asia. It's used as a demonym/geographicaly/cultural term in Asia. However, outside of Asia it's also used racially as you said. In the US and some other Western countries it means "East Asian" and in the UK and some East African countries like Kenya it means "South Asian".

  13.  @listentologic  Oh my gosh, you really need to do some research on population genomics. Did you seriously just say that West Eurasians and East Eurasians are a mixture of "white, asian and black"?
    13
  14.  @listentologic  Stop being racist to Native Americans and undermining their indigenous heritage by calling them "Asian".
    13
  15.  @listentologic  Wrong. There is East Eurasian, West Eurasian and West/East African and Khoisan. He is biologically a mix of East Eurasian with some West Eurasian.

  18. @don't ping I rarely check No, the scientific term is not "Caucasoid". The terms now used today are "West Eurasian", "East Eurasian", "South Eurasian" etc. You also need to do more research into the genetic make-up of South Asians. They were formed by West Eurasian-related populations from Central Asia who intermixed with the South Asian hunter-gatherers who were of East Eurasian origin. Also, you clearly haven't seen enough South Asians if you think they all look the same because they don't. They're phenotypically very diverse and it's due to their "mixed" origins.

  20.  @creampuffisme  Actually it depends on context. In the US, the first wave of Asian immigrants were from East Asia and in the UK, the first wave of Asian immigrants were from South Asia. In the Netherlands, the first wave of Asian immigrants were Indonesians. So in US English, "Asian" refers to East Asian and in British English, "Asian" refers to South Asians. In the Netherlands, "Asian" conjures up images of Indonesian people and culture. Officially on government documents, East Asians, South Asians and Southeast Asians are classified as "Asians" regardless of how the term is used in colloquial language in these countries.

  21.  @bubba94290  They identify as Central Asians, not South Asians. Afghanistan is culturally more similar to Central Asia anyway.

  22. She fits the American beauty standards, that is the truth.

  23. @Ambra Bianca He didn't say Caucasian women. I'm pretty sure he meant light skinned African American women. The light skin issue, from my understanding, is about light skinned and dark skinned African American women and how lighter skinned African American women are put on a pedestal. Also, how most of the African American actresses and models in American pop culture are light skinned which is something Percy spoke about in the video.
    6
  24.  @iimmortalldreams  They're not really Asians. Asian Americans love to identify as "Asian" but know nothing about Asia. Their idea of being "Asian" is based around Kpop, bubble tea, proximity to mainstream Han Chinese culture or for non-East Asians just what they know about their own culture from their parents as well as "Asian representation in Hollywood" but that's it. Real Asians are those in Asia and I'll keep saying that.

  25. I think your comment brings up an interesting point. You gave a description of your experiences with all of the men you have dated and the one thing that stood out to me was culture. Now culture can mean a lot of things but there is a difference between culture of your own ethnic group to culture of your nation. I'm assuming you're a born and raised American and and I would say that you're going to fit in better within an American context rather than a non-American context. Why? It's because you're from the US. While there will always be nuances as you described with the White guy, Chinese guy and Black guy, the one thing you have in common is that you're culturally American despite coming from different ethnic and ancestral cultural backgrounds. As soon as you said you said that the Indian guy was an international student, it was clear. The cultural similarities Indians and Southeast Asians share is one thing that you said you both connected to but you also said your cultures were very different and I think it's safe to say that he would have come from a more traditional Indian background (as represented in India) and that your cultural background of being an American of Southeast Asian heritage was what made it also feel so different. "Race", ethnicity, genetics is one thing but I believe culture is what is going to play the biggest role. There are cases of cross cultural mixing in multiracial nations like Singapore and Malaysia where people of ethnic Indian descent have been raised in Chinese culture and thus are culturally Chinese and vice versa Chinese people raised in Indian culture who are culturally Indian. If we take it a step further there are cases of Indians from India in Singapore who are seen as so culturally different to the local Singaporean Indians despite both groups being ethnically Indian. So I think culture plays a big role, aka the environment you grew up in.

  26. In what universe are Indians more Middle Eastern??? India culturally influenced other parts of South and Southeast Asia. Try learning about Asia. Also, most of the Middle East is in Asia.

  28.  @Jambudvipa-ug6yg  Some West Eurasian-derived Indian is not going to be telling REAL native South Asians (who carry East Eurasian ancestry) whether they're Asians or not lmao

  29.  @propogandalf  In what universe are Native Americans "biologically Asian"?
    5
  30.  @daltonhauersperger3379  Yes it is "West Eurasian". Those are the terms used in the scientific community. If you understand human genetics then you'll know why geneticists use "West Eurasian" and "East Eurasian" when they refer to the basal genetic make-up of the native populations of Europe and Asia (Eurasia).

  31.  @Dand40  No South Asians don't. India had a big impact on the rest of Asia. Indian influence permeates South and Southeast Asia and also had an impact on East Asia via the spread of Buddhism. Most of South and Southeast Asia fall within the Indian cultural sphere with Indic culture being the root of Thai, Nepali, Sri Lankan, Cambodian, Burmese, Indonesian and Lao culture among others. Certain Japanese and Chinese dieties are of Hindu origin. For example, Chinese diety Wei Tuo and Japanese diety Benzaiten are of Hindu origin. Wei Tuo is known as Murugan by Tamils in India, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Malaysia. Benzaiten is known as Saraswati in India and Nepal. There are multiple other elements of Indian influence in other South, Southeast and East Asian cultures but there is too much to list. Thing is people think that just because most South Asians look different from East Asians or Southeast Asians it means they are culturally very different, they're not.
    5
  32.  @ni3070  No Sri Lankan likes to be called "Indian". Sri Lankan culture and Indian culture are very different. Ethnically speaking, the dominant ethnic groups in both countries are completely different. Most Sri Lankans are also Buddhists and most Indians are Hindus.

  33.  @AdanSolas  Nobody is missing your point. You literally said that Cambodia and Thailand are more similar to South Korea than to India. How about stop inserting yourself into Asian's peoples business and leave us alone. Haven't you people done enough damage to our part of the world? This behaviour, this constant attempt at saying Asia is different and needs to be divided up is why China continues to speak up and launch pan-Asian security dialogues and repeat words like "Asia for Asians". Just a few months ago another Chinese politician encouraged Asian nations against non-Asian hegemony. Keep doing what you're doing, there are already reports out of pan-Asian Singapore (where people are Chinese, Malay and Indian) that there are people who have been radicalised by China's pro-Asian and anti-Western rhetoric.

  34.  @AdanSolas  Cambodia and Thailand were culturally influenced by India. They are NOT similar to South Korea. The customs, the beliefs, the religion, the etiquette, the architecture, music, literature, mythology and so on are all similar to India, not East Asia. There are native people in Thailand and Cambodia that look more like Indians too like Miss Universe Thailand contestant Alisa Arunahiran. You're talking so much about Asia and yet you literally said Cambodia, Thailand are more similar to South Korea. I'm going to call it racism atp because only a racist will group East and Southeast Asians together and say they're all the same.

  35.  @StrawberryMilkkTeaa  It's always Americans saying these sorts of things. How silly, lol. South Asians call themselves Asians because they are in Asia and it also so happens to be that South Asia is culturally very closely related to Southeast Asia, which is also located in Asia. Do you think when the Japanese invaded India to make it part of their Greater East Asia empire, they were thinking of some future thing called "Kpop"? Don't be asinine. East Asiaboos and East Asian Americans need to be educated ASAP.

  36.  @StrawberryMilkkTeaa  Thinking South Asians calling themselves "Asians" means they want to be associated with East Asians is crazy. This just proves you associate "Asian" with "East Asian" and lack the ability to understand the term in different contexts.

  41.  @ni3070  Yeah Asian is a geographical term, not racial.

  42. @don't ping I rarely check Yes that's right most of the time but in regards to South Asians it's more complex due to the "mixed" origins of South Asian people. Elaborating on what I said before, the West Eurasian component in South Asia is highest in the western part of the region and the East Eurasian component is highest in the east. What you said about the Indo-European language is true, they shared a common ancestor before they split. This is actually what I inferred when I mentioned the West Eurasian-related migrants from Central Asia. However, due to South Asia's complexity, there are groups that speak a language from a certain language group but are genetically closer to another group. For example, the Brahui of Pakistan speak a Dravidian language but they are genetically related to the Balochi and other Western Pakistani groups who are Iranic in origin. The Chakma of Bangladesh speak an Indo-European language but are genetically related to both Southeast Asians and to mainland Indians.

  43.  @williamecrowe  Asian doesn't just mean Chinese, Japanese and Korean! If you're Chinese, Japanese or Korean say "East Asian", if you're Indian, Nepalese, Bangladeshi say "South Asian". Americans stop using "Asian" to refer to one part of the continent only. Indians are Asians!

  44.  @AdanSolas  Racist people always say India and the Middle East are not Asians but never ask why East Asians are considered Asians? Aren't they the odd ones out?

  45.  @AdanSolas  Japan invaded all of East, Southeast and South Asia (India) in WW2 because it believed all of these areas are culturally similar as they all are rooted in Indic, Sinic and Dharmic cultures. It's time non-Asians stop dividing and conquering Asians.

  47.  @leocorn5559  The hatred for South Asians is insane and it's always the SEA who want to be associated with East Asians that peddle this narrative. South Asia isn't all the same and Bollywood isn't the only thing popular in South Asia ffs. Korean pop culture has long been popular in the region. There are other countries in South Asia like Sri Lanka where people watch Chinese dramas and Thai dramas. Earlier this year, an Indian girl competed on Chuang Asia Thailand, a India-Indonesia_South Korea Kpop project idol group was formed this year and we all know Squid Game featured an Indian actor.

  49. Indians are Asians because India is in Asia. India was NEVER it own continent, it was part of Gondwanaland. Humans did not exist back then either. Americans try staying in school challenge impossible.

  50.  @SM-qn7sr  Yeah some Southeast Asians can pass as East Asian. Also, many Southeast Asians in the US are actually of Chinese origin. For example, most Burmese Americans are of Chinese origin. The thing is Southeast Asians, like South Asians, are diverse in phenotypes and culture. For example the experience of an East Asian looking Southeast Asian is going to be different to a darker skinned Southeast Asian. For example, an East Asian looking Filipino woman was racially abused in the UK due to the coronavirus and in Australia, a darker skinned Filipino woman was racially abused and called a "currymuncher" because the racist people that attacked her thought she was Indian. Just goes to show how different people's experiences are. It's best if they did separate videos on this topic, one for East Asians, one for Southeast Asians and one for South Asians. Then in each of these videos they could have included three people from three different ethnic groups within each of these categories.

  53.  @dhisonpadma  There is slow progress in parts of South and Southeast Asia where people are challenging colorism. For example, there was a dark skinned Thai model who won a beauty pageant and she famously said at the time that she wants to be a representative for all of the dark skinned boys and girls across the whole of Asia. Also, there was discussion about why each of India's Miss Universe candidates all look the same with pale skin, long straight black hair and sharp nose last year I believe. I think the Black Lives Matter movement last year generated more discussion on colorism within Asian communities as well. However, there is still a long way to go as most big celebrities in Asia are light skinned.

  54. Firstly, no "Asian" is not a race. Indians and Arabs are Asians. Nobody in Asia considers "Asian" to be a race. If we're being pedantic, part of the genetic lineage of Indians/South Asians is shared with East and Southeast Asians through the Pleistocene era ancestors who are all distantly related sharing a common ancestor in Tianyuan man. Just because most South Asians look different to East and Southeast Asians does not mean they are genetically complete opposites, there is some common genetic overlap. Are you aware of the fact that there Chinese looking people in India and Indian looking people in Thailand? Is one "Asian" and the other not? Secondly, "Hindu" is a religious group. There are Hindus in India, Nepal, Bali in Indonesia and other parts of South and Southeast Asia. Don't speak about Asian topics when you're not even Asian. You know nothing about us.

  61. ​ @StrawberryMilkkTeaa  The indigenous people of India are the AASI and they are genetically related to other East Eurasians, including East Asians. The AASI contributed partially to the formation of all Indians and other South Asians. So whether you like it or not, East and South Asians share genetic overlap. This is only an issue in the US because you use "Asian" to describe only one part of the continent when nobody in Asia uses it like you do. "Asian" has always been used to define geography only. Idk why it is so hard for Americans to understand this. It's ridiculous!
    2
  62.  @StrawberryMilkkTeaa Yes they are genetically the closest Indian population to East Asians but that still doesn't change the fact that all Indians carry at least partial East Eurasian ancestry. Indians are a mix of differentiated West and East Eurasian ancestries.
    2
  63. ​ @StrawberryMilkkTeaa  All ethnic groups in South Asia have significant East Eurasian ancestry, except for some groups in Western Pakistan. Try learning more about the world. This person wants to claim South Asians don't have any indigenous ancestry so bad. This isn't about being closely related to East Asians. This is about them having East Eurasian ancestry which you claim they don't have. Stop thinking "East Eurasian" means "East Asian" only. My gosh, what is your obsession with East Asians???

  64.  @AdanSolas  In the UK, it's literally the opposite. In Asia, nobody thinks of it like that. The whole world isn't like the US and some other Western countries.

  65.  @ouamari  The ironic thing is that the Near East was called "Asia" first before East Asia was considered part of Asia too. Orient was associated strongly with West Asia before it was hijacked by non-Asians and used to identify East Asia only. The entire Orientalism issue is largely based on the Western obsession of West Asian cultures in the 18th century. It's crazy how everybody in the US associates it with East Asia and somehow has no idea that "Asia", "Orient", "East" etc. were all terms used to describe West Asia/Middle East first before anything else.

  66.  @leocorn5559  There are some Thai people that look more like typical South Asians. SOME Thai, I never said all.

I'm also Asian, I live in the Asia-Pacific and I've spoken from an Asian perspective (which means "Asian" is not a race from our perspective). You, however, have nothing and you're not even Asian.

  89.  @asdfasdf6271  In different contexts, yes absolutely cause not all Indians are the same and "South Asia" does not equal India. Culturally wise, all of the northern areas of South Asia speak Sino-Tibetan languages and have adopted a mix of Indic and Tibetic cultural elements, many people in the region look East Asian or are mixed with Tibeto-Burman tribes. Many of these cultures like Kinnaur, various Nepalese groups, Bhutanese, Sikkimese, Arunachalis and Ladakhis in India all celebrate the Lunar New Year, which is related to the Chinese and Korean New Year. Please stop generalising and do some research.

  90.  @asdfasdf6271  NOT all Indian languages are part of the Indo-European language family. There are Dravidian languages, Austroasiatic, Sino-Tibetan and Kra-Dai languages spoken in India. The hatred for India is so insane that people will literally generalise cause they don't want to learn about that country. I'm not even from India and yet I know this. Use Google. Also, language family is not the end all of things. Stop thinking East Asia is the crux of Asia. Most of India's cultural similarities are with other parts of South Asia and Southeast Asia. I'm sure you had no idea of this.

Native SEA people don't celebrate Lunar New Year, except for Viet people. In fact, out of these three groups and much of Asia, it is actually East Asia that is very different to the rest of Asia. I wonder why people in the US think East and Southeast Asians are the same, I think it may be due to the large numbers of SEA people with Chinese ancestry that migrated to the US compared to native SEA who like to stay in SEA.

  97.  @Pmc987  White South Africans are not native to Africa the way Indians are native to Asia. It's shocking to me that non-Asians will say that Indians are not Asians. Part of their ancestry actually represents the most basal form of "Asiatic" ancestry called basal East Eurasian which is represented by modern Andamanese and other Negrito groups in Southeast Asia.

There are many SE Asians that look nothing like East Asians or South Asians.

  130.  @StrawberryMilkkTeaa  Firstly, the Andamanese are 100% East Eurasian and Basal East Asians are an East Eurasian lineage. They're all East Eurasians.

  131.  @StrawberryMilkkTeaa  Northeast Indians are Indians, they're not "Indians", they're Indians and yes they are genetically the closest Indian population to East Asians but that still doesn't change the fact that all Indians carry at least partial East Eurasian ancestry. Indians are a mix of differentiated West and East Eurasian ancestries.

  138.  @StrawberryMilkkTeaa  ESEA is still East Eurasian. AASI/Andamanese are genetically closer to ESEA than they are to modern mainland Indians. Yes most of their ancestry is West Eurasian-related but it doesn't change the fact that the rest of their ancestry is East Eurasian. That's why South Asians occupy a middle band between West Eurasians and ESEA/Oceanians on a PCA plot.

  141. ​ @StrawberryMilkkTeaa  The lineages are on separate branches but they still East Eurasian and thus share affinity to ancient individuals like Tianyuan and Oase 1. There is a reason why Adivasi tribals in South Asia are genetically closer to modern ESEA than they are to North Indians, for example.

  142.  @StrawberryMilkkTeaa  You keep repeating the same thing over and over again. I am talking about East Eurasian DNA. You keep ignoring that and narrowing it down to ESEA, I'm not talking about ESEA. All Indians have some level of East Eurasian ancestry, whether ESEA or not. Do you understand now?
    1
  143.  @StrawberryMilkkTeaa  No because in Asia, people don't view "Asian" the way you do. So of course people will be annoyed if some distant group in another land co-opts the term to describe one group only because whenever somebody who is not East Asian says they're "Asian", people get mad. That should not be happening. Nobody in Australia or New Zealand bats an eye when a South Asian calls them "Asian", only Americans do.

  146.  @StrawberryMilkkTeaa  It's insane how you think South Asians calling themselves "Asians" means they want to be associated with East Asians. This just proves you associate "Asian" with "East Asian" and lack the ability to understand the term in different contexts.

  148. ​ @StrawberryMilkkTeaa  You keep bringing up Finnish people but that's NOT the point.

  208.  @crate249  Hmm well you can find pirates in many different regions of the world such as Europe, Africa and Asia. The difference is that there are different pirate clothing worn. Pirate and geisha are different though because a geisha is only limited to Japanese culture and the geisha is held in high regard in Japanese culture, having upheld traditional Japanese art forms including dance, music and singing.

  210.  @crate249  That's not cultural appropriation in my opinion. Every culture in the world has been influenced by one another. That's the adoption and absorption of different cultural elements into another culture. Cultural appropriation, at least for me, refers to people who adopt something without actually understanding its significance and being able to freely wear or use that item without any sort of discrimination. So, for example, girls of non-South/Southeast Asian origin wearing bindis for aesthetic purposes at Coachella. They can freely wear those bindis without any discrimination but a girl of South or Southeast Asian descent who wears it in public may face discrimination and be told to go back to where they came from (which does happen).
    1
  211.  @crate249  Cultural appropriation is controversial because of what I explained in my other comment. A dominant culture adopting the traits of a disadvantaged minority is what makes all of this controversial. That's why some people are upset. Adopting cultural traits as seen during the ancient times and later is not cultural appropriation. It's different.
    1
  212.  @crate249  No, that's cultural diffusion. Cultural diffusion and cultural appropriation are very different. Cultural diffusion is what we saw in the ancient days and what we continue see today. The spread of customs, traditions, languages, scripts, music, literature, food, architecture, clothing, belief systems, philosophical beliefs among others are all part of cultural diffusion. Cultural appropriation is very different and is nothing like cultural diffusion. It's controversial to adopt traits from a minority group because the group is marginalised or judged from the dominant society's perspective. For example, if Black American women are continued to be asked to have straight hair and use hair relaxers to abide by the standards of US society in corporate positions and other white collar positions yet a White American woman is allowed to adopt hair styles suited to Afro textured hair without any penalty then that's problematic. It isn't fair for society to continue to ask Black American women to straighten their hair or wear wigs to be "professional" yet allow White American women a pass because it's "exotic" or "trendy". There's no fairness in that. That's why cultural appropriation, in this context, is problematic. These days it seems like everybody calls everything "cultural appropriation" but there are specific details as to what constitutes cultural appropriation. This is an example. I hope you understand the difference now.

  214. I think something that is not as well understood among many people is that the ethnic groups we see today are the result of mixing (whether that's between two genetically different components or two components from the same lineage). The idea of "race" is very much an idea that was propagated worldwide through European colonisation and is rooted in facial features, rather than skin deep genetics.

Do you really think two neighbouring populations are not going to share some genetic overlap? It's the Asian Century and it surprises me that there are many people outside of Asia who know nothing about Asia

  227.  @jenniekim-5155  Stereotypes have some truth to them otherwise they wouldn't be stereotypes. It's that recurring examples of certain things within a community can create a belief that everybody is like that. For example, you said "Asians are smart", that stereotype is born out of the fact that in the US and many other Western countries there is a notable amount of Asian students who succeed academically. Due to how frequent this observation is, it has developed into a stereotype into this belief that "ALL Asians are smart".

  233.  @petepetersen5418  You ought to learn that in Asia, "Asian" is used as a geographical/cultural descriptor not a race. You also ought to know that the definition of "Asian" differs depending on location. In the UK, Kenya and South Africa "Asian" refers to Indians and that's because Indians are historically the largest Asian group to migrate to these countries. In the US, "Asian" tends to refer to East Asians and that's because Chinese, Japanese and Koreans were historically the largest Asian groups to migrate to the US.

  234.  @petepetersen5418  In the Gulf Arab nations of the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain, "Asian" refers mainly to South Asians (Indians, Nepalis, Bangladeshis) as well as to Southeast Asians (Filipinos, Indonesians etc.) and that's due to cultural differences and migration patterns. That's why censuses in these countries classifies Asians (South and Southeast Asians and East Asians as well) separately from the Arabs. In the rest of Asia, however, "Asian" refers to all ethnic groups native to Asia and the way the term is used in Asia is closest to the dictionary definition. I hope you learned something.

Imagine saying this while forced Christian conversions are a daily occurrence in South Korea. Imagine saying this while Christian sects have created severe damage to Korean society, even resulting in a political crisis in 2016 where the president was impeached. There are countless examples from other parts of the world including Vietnam, Poland, Russia and the United States that I could bring up.

  242.  @oceanbluetv4007  It's not a laughing matter. 💀 They disrespect them all the time, their mere existence is offensive to them. That's why whenever a country or region tries to make changes to give rights to LGBT people (like decriminalisation), there are always Christians protesting and demanding they don't be given rights. It happens everywhere, even in places where Christians are a minority they're the ones protesting. Singapore decriminalised homosexuality and it was Christians, a minority group in Singapore, that were protesting while the Buddhist and atheist majority had no issue whatsoever.

  244.  @Bunnyhop21  um... yes. Absolutely. Christianity is widespread across the world because of colonisation. It was spread through control and is still being spread by preying on vulnerable people in the form of missionaries and cults. There is a famous saying from an African figure, "when the Europeans came to our land, they had the bible and we had the land. When we closed our eyes and opened them, they had the land and we had the bible". Christianity is widespread across Africa, which are home to some of the poorest nations on earth. Be serious. Developed nations are developed not because of Christianity. You know that that is not true at all when some of the most advanced nations on earth aren't even Christian-majority and there are so many non-religious people in a lot of developed nations. What I said is the truth and you know it.

  254.  @JigsawVsChucky  The term "Asian" in a UK context means "South Asian". Like the British media when they describe an Indian person or somebody who looks "Indian", they will say "Asian". In the US, it's the opposite.

  255.  @user-bj6zf9yv7k  No they aren't. The term "Caucasoid" is an outdated term and nobody in the scientific community or those that understand human genetics use the term "Caucasoid" in such a way. The genetic make-up of Indians proves why such terms mean nothing today. Indians are basically "mixed race" and Indians are not "Caucasoid". You can't determine the genetic makeup of an individual by looking at their skull shape. We use "Caucasian" in vernacular English to refer to Europeans and also to refer to the native inhabitants of the Caucasus mountains, not Indians.

  256.  @benjia7906  Not all Southeast Asians look East Asian though. Most Southeast Asians don't look East Asian. The reason why East Asian slurs are also used against Southeast Asians is because it's used against Southeast Asians with East Asian features. Most Southeast Asians in the US and many other Western countries are of ethnic Chinese origin. You aren't going to see a dark skinned Southeast Asian person called the c word for example.

  257.  @deeksha2964  Asians have labels but those labels aren't based on skin tone. Nobody in Asia goes around calling all South Asians "brown" like Americans or Canadians do. I've seen light skinned Nepalese (including those with East Asian features and fair skin) in North America describe themselves as "brown" because that term seems to indicate South Asian people, culture etc. in general regardless of your skin tone (you can see that a lot on TikTok). In English language contexts in Asia, people will use "brown" or "black" simply to describe the colour of someone's skin in a derogatory manner but nobody classifies entire groups of people as "brown" or "yellow" or "black" in Asia. English is not the lingua franca in Asian countries except for Singapore and in Singapore, colour terminology is not used to define the local Chinese, Malays and Indians. Young Singaporeans and Malaysians in informal contexts, especially online, may use "brown Asian" to describe the local Indians and Malays but that's the result of Western influence. In everyday Singaporean and Malaysian society, in English language contexts, people will use "Indian" and "Malay".
    1
  258.  @deeksha2964  East Asian hostility towards South Asians isn't just due to colorism, it's also due to stereotypes and other factors. Yes, brown skin plays a role but in an East Asian country like South Korea, light skinned South Asians also face discrimination. South Korea is home to a lot of South Asian migrant workers, students and migrant brides and most of them historically have come from Nepal and Sri Lanka and in more recent years, from Bangladesh. Many of the Nepalese in Korea have light skin and many have East Asian features but they still face discrimination and stereotypes as a result of their South Asian origins. Same thing applies to Vietnamese migrant workers and migrant brides in Korea, who look East Asian and culturally connected to East Asians. There are historical and preconceived notions and stereotypes of South Asians and Southeast Asians in Korea. Same thing applies in other East Asian societies like Japan.
    1
  259.  @deeksha2964  Also, as you said, Asians discriminate against their own. People talk of East Asian hostility towards South Asians but it also goes the other way. India has a huge problem with its treatment of Northeast Indians who look East Asian and broader discrimination against other Indians who have East or Southeast Asian like features who come from other parts of India. Not to mention other forms of discrimination against the varied ethnic groups of India like Biharis and Tamils, in addition to racism directed at neighbouring nations like Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Rohingyas of Myanmar. Same thing in Southeast Asia, Thai vs Burmese, Cambodian vs Vietnamese, Malaysian vs Singaporean, Thai vs Thai Malay, Bamar vs all other ethnic groups in Myanmar and so on.

  260.  @unstable_7071  If most Indians looked East Asian or Southeast Asian, none of y'all would single them out like y'all always do cause the reality is that they culturally influenced other parts of Asia, especially Southeast Asia, so their cultural similarities are very visible to anybody that is well versed in Asian cultures.

  261.  @OrlyYahalom  They have similarities, you should need to look for them instead of thinking they're completely different just cause most of them don't look East Asian.

South Asians are mostly a mix of Ancestral North Indian (ANI) and Ancestral South Indian (ASI) components. That's why even in the 19th century, Indians/South Asians were sometimes classified as "mixed" or "unclassified" by anthropologists like Carleton S. Coon because South Asians are so diverse and modern science has shown us why South Asians were so hard to classify back in the 19th century.

  285.  @664theneighbor5  Depends on context. . In the UK, for example, "Asian" means "South Asian" and in Asia, "Asian" refers to all Asian groups. In Singapore, for example, all Singaporeans of Chinese, Malay and Indian descent are considered "Asian".
    1
  286.  @illustryfe5354  Firstly, Mongoloid is outdated racial term from the 19th century referring to the shape of people's skulls. You can't determine race based on skull shape. Mongoloid and other racial terms are outdated and no longer used in the scientific community today. Brown is also not a racial term. So many diverse groups are "brown skinned" but that doesn't mean they're the same race. Secondly, it depends on context. In the US, the first wave of Asian immigrants were from East Asia and in the UK, the first wave of Asian immigrants were from South Asia. So in US English, "Asian" refers to East Asian and in British English, "Asian" refers to South Asians. Officially on government documents, both East Asians and South Asians as well as Southeast Asians are classified as "Asians" regardless of how the term is used in colloquial language. In Asia, "Asian" refers to everybody from Asia. In Singapore, for example, all Singaporeans of Indian, Malay and Chinese descent are considered as "Asians". This is because Singapore is an Asian country and the definition in Singapore and other parts of Asia is most similar to the dictionary definition of "Asian". So it depends on context but at the end of day, everybody from one of the native ethnic groups of Asia is Asian. Finally, some Indian groups like Bengalis and various Northeast Indian groups have East Asian admixture which is why some of them look Thai or Chinese.

What I mean is that there is a national culture that all citizens of a particular country share. Americans citizens all share common American cultural customs regardless of race. A White American will find more in common with a Black American person than with a White German person in Germany despite both of them being racially White/European. That's because they are American and thus will have things that they have in common with other Americans (e.g. speaking American English, experiences from school whether that's the culture of American school cafeterias or the things they were taught in school, holidays like Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Halloween, American-style christmas, American food such as pecan pie and its variations). So if we look at the case of the OP, them dating an Indian international student is going to be very different to them dating an American guy of Indian descent. The American guy of Indian descent will still be culturally Indian but they will also be culturally American. The Indian international student is from India and thus is culturally Indian and culturally Eastern. Their mentality, outlook etc. is going to be very different to the American guy of Indian descent who grew up in a Western country and is thus part of the broader culturally Western mentality.
