  1.  @Aurelianightshade  India is not a continent

  2.  @RextheRebel  India is located in Asia.

  3.  @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.

  4. 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.

  6. +N I It was to another user. Sorry, I don't know why their name wasn't showing up but yeah I understand what you're saying. The other user said something else.

  7.  @bubbles-ge3lj  South Asia culturally influenced other parts of Asia. Southeast Asia (e.g. Thailand, Indonesia etc.) are Indosphere nations and are culturally related to India. Idk why nobody knows this. E and SE Asia are not the same.

  8.  @RextheRebel  Firstly, India is in South Asia, not the Middle East. The Middle East is composed mostly of West Asian countries west of Pakistan like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE etc. all of these countries are in ASIA.

  9.  @AdanSolas  So where does Southeast Asia fit in all of this? SE Asia was culturally influenced by India and China.

  10.  @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.

  11. ​ @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
  12.  @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
  13. ​ @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???

  14.  @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.

  15.  @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.

  16.  @leocorn5559  There are some Thai people that look more like typical South Asians. SOME Thai, I never said all. Do you hate Indians that much that you'd deny the fact that there are some Thai that look more like them? Emphasising on the East Asian looks but many native Thai look more similar to Khmer and Burmese.

  17.  @sampahpribadi  Desi just means "local". Nobody in Asia goes around thinking Asian only means East Asian. In Singapore, where East, South and Southeast Asian live people will use "Asian" to refer to everybody when speaking about Asia-specific cultural customs and such.

  18. India is in Asia.

  19.  @natashka1982  1. I'm not a kid. Not every Gen Z person is under 18. 2. You were the one that started talking to me 3. Notice how you have nothing to say after I called you out? I suggest you follow my advice otherwise people will continue to call you out.

  20.  @theannouncer3423  I said it brought awareness, that's still really powerful. However, TikTok has helped mobilise groups like the Milk Tea Alliance, a pan-Asian online youth movement active in parts of Asia, that fights for democracy and criticises the CCP.

  22. India is in Asia. So they're Asian. Is this supposed to be a joke?

  23.  @Aurelianightshade  You're not even Indian because if you were, you would be talking about Indosphere and all that

  24. In the US, they are not usually considered as such but yes in Asia they are and Uncle Roger is from Malaysia (the most pan-Asian nation in Asia)

  26.  @RextheRebel  INDIA IS LOCATED IN ASIA. Americans trying to divide Asia up again. Gosh, I hope the Indians wake up and finally pick China's side.

  27.  @petepetersen5418  ...and I'm of full Asian descent and I was born and raised in the Asia-Pacific and have lived here my entire life. As an Asian, I have read deeply about Asia as it is part of my heritage. So who on earth are you trying to educate me?
    2
  28.  @petepetersen5418  Quit it with the racist nonsense. I called you uneducated because you don't understand Asian history not because I looked at your name. Do you use the race card all the time? Grow up and do some research. I'm speaking from an Asian perspective and I'm speaking more specifically about the East, South and Southeast Asian countries which all share the Sino-Indic (Dharmic-Taoic) heritage. I'm not talking about the Middle East.

  29.  steve beineke  I'm not Indian you moron. I told you I'm not Indian a few days ago, did you not read my replies? Say what you want to say. At the end of the day it's a known fact that I have presented facts with the multiple replies I have sent you detailing the history of Pan-Asianism and the genetic history of South Asian and East Eurasian DNA and have sources to back up what I've said (which I also sent to you). 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. You have probably never step foot in this part of the world and interacted with Asians that live in Asia. So say what you want to say because we all know what the reality is. What you say doesn't mean anything anyway. End of story.

  30. India is located in Asia, so they're Asian. Simple as that.

  31. Nobody wants to understand something that is filled with hate. That belief system was spread across the world with violence and hate.

  32.  @savannahmitchum1187  Well the argument wouldn't exist, if y'all live and let live but most of y'all don't do that. That's why y'all are in isolated villages in poverty-stricken Asian countries like Nepal and Myanmar trying to convert people to your faith.

  33.  @Bunnyhop21  Ppl practicing their faith? This is about people using their religious beliefs to discriminate other people. How can you make yourself the victim?

  34.  @Jambudvipa-ug6yg  Asian isn't about looks

  35.  @laus7987  Yep, you're right. It depends on country and context.
    2
  36.  @Dand40  Well I was talking about South Asians and they're culturally close to Southeast and East Asian groups, especially Southeast Asian groups. East, South and Southeast Asia share a common Sinic/Indic heritage. I know Middle Easterners are different culturally but they're still Asian, those that come from West Asia that is.

  37.  @ni3070  Which is weird because there are Indians/Sri Lankans who look "East/Southeast Asian". I remember somebody called a Southeast Asian looking Sri Lankan pageant contestant "Asian".

  39.  @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.
    2
  40.  @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.

  41.  @earthalien2584  Well Asians did have their own words for it like the ancient Japanese used to describe China, India and Japan as "Sangoku" (Three Kingdoms) as those three countries were the main forms of cultural influence on eastern and southern Asia.
    2
  42.  @asdfasdf6271  Istg if most Indians looked more East Asian or Southeast Asian-like, none of y'all would be saying these things and saying they're not Asian.

  43.  @ha-kj2ex  Doesn't change the point that I made! What's not clicking??? Stop erasing the diversity of South Asia just because the majority are different. So irritating

  44. @superayr Asians don't all look the same

  45.  @Pmc987  India is in Asia, so it's Asian. Not that hard to understand
    2
  46.  @Pmc987  The festivals celebrated in SEA are related to Indian festivals. The most important festival in SEA is the Solar New Year which is celebrated by South Asian countries too. 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.

  47.  @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.

  48.  @whateverwhatever4026  Well Asian Russia is composed of people related to East and Central Asians, not Europeans
    2
  49.  @whateverwhatever4026  Better more applicable labels but you think it's okay to group East and Southeast Asia together?
    2
  50.  @xandercorp6175  It's so funny seeing people say things like this. Are you aware that Southeast Asia (Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia etc.) are Indosphere nations and are culturally more similar to Indians? Try learning about Asia.
