Just because India is in Asia does not mean that
Indians are Asians. THEY ARE NOT ASIANS. THEY ARE
SIMPLY INDIANS FROM ASIA. To identify Indians as
Asians would be incorrect and insulting to ALL ASIANS.
As one would use the term American-Indians in the US,
Indians from Asia should ALWAYS be identified as
Asian-Indians, not just Asian. THEY ARE ASIAN INDIANS!!!
NOT ASIANS. I am Asian. Those black Indians look nothing
like me. That is because they are not ASIANS!!!!!!!
They are INDIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

What is your problem? Did you last girlfriend ditch you for a person of Indian
decent? My deepest sympathies. But judging from your letter, I think your
grilfriend made the right decision in leaving a stupid, arsehole bastard that
you are.
Never heard of anything as stupid as your assertion that Indians are not Asian.
But then, if you look at a map of Asia you just might notice that geographically
most of Asia is not Chinese (or in your case Mongoloid). Ithink it would be
quite correct for me to assert that you are not Asian because you are too
stupid.

Hey, you're confusing me now ... but I think you got a point.

Yes, how come we don't call Mexicans as Americans or Canadians,
Guatemalans, Columbians, Brazilians as Americans? They are all
in the Americas. Why is it when we say "Americans" we only mean
U.S. citizens? Can anyone verify this?

You idiot. Indians are as Asian as you are. I doubt they are as racist as
you though. Technically speaking, Indians are actually Aryan, but they
inhabit the Asian sub-continent which makes them Asian. Your definition is
as stupid as saying African-Americans are not American because they look
nothing like the other inhabitants of that continent, mainly Native
Americans and Euro-Americans. Or Aborigines are not Australians because
they look nothing like European descended Australians. Cut your racist
shit, you silly little man. I

Well looks like you are disapointed with your father who was an INDIAN.
Ask your mother why she got hooked up with "those black Indians" I
reiterate that you should go back to Asia from where you came from. You
are not wanted here.

Of course Indians are ASians. THey are on the Asian continent so they
are considered Asians. So are Isrealis, Iraqis, Pakistani, etc.

Okay, I suppose you're right b'cos Indians don't talk like us. They talk
walk, (inparticular) eat and smell like CURRY.

I don't mean to be rude but it is simply the FACT.

Geographically speaking, all countries which are located in the Asian
continent belong to "Asia". People who originate from these countries
rightfully are called Asians in the general sense. To be more precise,
they should be called by their country of origins eg Indians from India,
Japanese from Japan, Chinese from China, Malaysians from Malaysia,
Singaporeans from Singapore.

Mitoshi Matsushita should be happy not to look like an Indian because he is
a Japanese. This is because Asian is a general term for people from Asia,
which is made up of people from many diverse cultural and ethnic groups.
For that matter, some "Indians" are as fair as Matsushita or his
countrymen.

i forgot where i read this, but an article suggests that indians are really
"white people" (sorry for the lack of more proper term, but you know what i mean)
that cross the pass from middle east to the india subcontinent tens of thousand
years ago. that's why their features are closer to the white people than to the
other asians even though they have darker complexion. the same article also
maintains that the darker complexion is due to the accumulation of the "tanning
effect". now, i don't know how accurate this is, but i think it is pretty
interesting. if this is true, i think they are more likely remote cousins of
arabians.

i didn't know the term "asian" refers to any race.

Supposing we reword the Subject Title from "INDIANS

it offend anybody?

Mexico is also in American continent.

If I were an idiot, I'd be embarassed to post a message for the whole
world to see how stupid I am!

Have you looked at a globe lately? Asia is a continent, you know. The
people living there are called "Asians". It doesn't matter if you
don't like their skin color or facial features, they're still
"Asians". In the case of India, that won't change until the Indian
Plate separates once again from the Asian Plate at some time in the
faraway geological future, but human beings probably won't exist then.

So deal with it! And why don't you acquire a capacity to be embarassed
by your stupidity while you're at it, and shut up?

Fraid not. Using that mindlessly silly line of argument chinese arent asians either.

Quite possibly, but then lots of asians would say that about the
chinese too. And say it in spades about the japanese too. Your
past behaviour has something to do with that presumably.

Yes,
What you are saying is that people need to be less
encompassing in their classification of culture.
That is something I have been saying for ages!
I would even go as far as to say that the term ASIAN
doesn't mean anything. People should be only classified by
what individual country they come from, otherwise we end up
with confusion and misrepresentation.

To say that Indians and East Asians are the same really
is totally innacurate.

As a Canadian I don't particularly like being called
an American, but hey, I'm not going to get too
upset about it. I think 'Americans' are called "americans'
because it is part of their name (US of America). I
consider myself North American, as in the continent, but
not American.

Let me explain a bit more for those who still dont understand.
Lets say that race is smelly or yellow or black or purple or white.
Going by the number of people migrating all around the world,there is a
very strong chance that you or your someone would end up with that
particular race.

Oh one more thing.No race is greater or smaller than the other.Look at
the person I am when you talk to me and not at the race in which I was
born in.

Wouldn't know a fact if it bit your arse. It depends on where in India
you come from. India has a very rich culinary tradition, like much of
asia. Some foods are hot and spicy, some are not. Most people from
different cultures have a different, often distinctive, smell. This is
simply a part of lifes rich tapestry.

Racist geek. If Indian is in asia then they are asians. they might also
be Indians, would we then have to differentiate caste, religion and
other differences. As for asians, in your racist view must we now state
the country of origin, ancestral affiliation, spoken language. Get a
brain.

Wouldn't think so. Americans are usually called that, often qualified by
South American, Central American, native American, or North American.
The South American is certainly quite correct, since mexico is
considered to be a part of the continent of South America.

I don't know about that. Asian Indians come in a wide spectrum of

Now you're splitting hairs, but "Latin America" and "South America"

You're wrong about that. If anyone were to say the Mexicans or the

Canadians were North Americans(the continent being the common factor),

there would be little dissent. The U.S. of A. commonly refers to itself

as America, and it's people as Americans. OTOH, neither China nor Japan

or Korea or Singapore refers to themselves as "Asia" and it figures

nowhere in their official names. That is the essential flaw of your

argument above.

So there are no Asians at all, then?

Just Asian Indians, Asian Japanese, Asian Chinese, Asian Malays, Asian
Russians and so on. Ooops, forgot about the Asian Chinese Hong Kongese.

Well, certainly invaded from the north. Very well documented
historically. Much of this is well within the historical record with India.

Yes.

This is more complicated and varys in a quite pronounced way down thru the country

Its nothing like that simple. Some of the blackest people on earth like the Tamils
and Bouganvillians are indeed roughly on the equator, but there are also some
quite light colored groups as well. Tho its certainly true that there is a considerable
tendency for those in the equatorial regions to be darker than those at the higher
latitudes. Its got nothing do with any accumulation of tanning tho. Evolution doesnt
work like that. That is effectively Lamarkism which has been proven to be a complete dud.

In fact its more northerly than that.

Not all people in India have "Caucasian" features. There are
very large numbers who don't have such features together with
their dark skin. In fact, in anthropological terms the Indians
on average are mesorrhine and slightly prognathic just like
Mongoloids or Mulattos.

Some modern genetic studies have shown a very close relationship
between some Dravidians and African Negroids. Recent articles
in scholarly journals using mtDNA and Y chromosome analysis
have shown Indians are very closely related to East Asians.

In probably the most thorough global Y chromosome study yet,
in the March 1997 issue of _Genetics_, Indians are classified
along with Southeast Asians due to both having a strong
predominance (100% of sample) of YAP haplotype 1, and very
similar features on the DYS19 allele. They completely
lacked YAP haplotype 4, which was characteristic of European
populations. The sample also lacked any YAP haplotype
4 which showed up in 20% of Iranians, although some new
info sugggests that at least some of this haplotype is found
in India.

Y chromosomes show one's paternal inheritance, while mtDNA
shows maternal inheritance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's what I think!

So, why is it that it's okay to say "MEXICANS ARE NOT
AMERICANS" while saying "INDIANS ARE NOT ASIANS" is not okay?

Base on this, (the above statement) why is it everybody
got upset when the guy said that "INDIANS ARE NOT ASIANS"?

Is it because the statement "INDIANS ARE NOT ASIANS" is
POLITICALLY INCORRECT while "MEXICANS ARE NOT AMERICANS" is
POLITICALLY CORRECT"?

Situation is the same, except one is Indian while the other
is Mexican!

Another situation: Heard of the term "African-American"?
Usually this connotes Black Americans. Think about it:
South Africa is also in Africa and there are Whities there,
how come the statement doesn't apply to them. Khadafi is
also in Africa, so is Tunisia and Egypt, but the term
doesn't apply to them! Why not call "African-Americans" as
"BLACK AFRICAN-AMERICANS" instead to be specific?

Who decides the political correctness?

Hey, don't flame me. I am just pointing it out.

American Indians are totally different from India Indians.
What black Indians are you talking of? Do you know that the majority of
India Indians are much fairer than you..or have you forgotten that
in the last 3 years as many Indians were choosen to be the top or
runner up Miss World or Miss Universe??

Hey, rice ball,

Wake up ! The term Asian as applied to rice balls like you was coined by

the white man to differentiate you from 'them'. It was not meant as an

honorific.

Even though I am a fair-skinned north Indian, I would rather be known as

"an Indian" than "an Asian", because the term Asian as used by the

whites and other races who resent "asians" in the west and Pacific Rim

countries like Australia and New Zealand, often has derogatory

implications. The term "Asian" is linked to racist connotations of

"yellow-skin", "short, myopic, flat-nosed, japs, chinese", "rice-ball"

etc, etc (white man's terms, not mine, but the last one definitely

applicable to you).

But then, what would a short-sighted racist rice ball like you know,
huh.

A "Fair" Indian.

You know, if you're making a statement...you would be correct.
Mexicans are Mexicans and they ARE NOT Americans!
Americans are white or fair skinned. Mexicans are brown to dark skinned.
Many are light today, due to intermarriage. Maybe Mexicans are ashamed to
be called Mexican and they prefer to be called Caucasian! Though, I don't
think that is the case.

How could it matter where you come from or what colour you are? If for
purposes (other than yours) you need to differentiate:

Physical geographically : India is regarded as a subcontinent. If you
are being liberal thats an entity in its own right if not its part of
the asian continent.

Geographically: India makes up the largest part of South Asia, you could
call its people south asian if that had any possible use.

Culturally: Indians are Indians, Indians, Indians , Indians (with
enormous variety)

Racially: Indians are Caucasian.(a liberal view of the sub-racial groups
would'nt see that as Asian. It does'nt make them European either unless
they live there.)

Indians are Indians

Chinese are chinese

AustralASIANS can be each of those (and others but hardly more)

danG! let define the word asian...but to do that lets pin down the scope
of Asia first....
Because of its vast size and diverse character, Asia is divided for
convenience into five major realms. These are as follows: Asia of the
former Soviet Union, including Siberia, western Central Asia, and the
Caucasus; East Asia, including China, Mongolia, Korea, and Japan; Southeast
Asia, including Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia,
Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, and the Philippines; South Asia, including
India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan; and Southwest
Asia, including Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel,
Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the other states of the Arabian Peninsula. The
continent may also be divided into two cultural realms: that which is Asian
in culture (East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia) and that which is
not (Asia of the former Soviet Union, and Southwest Asia).
Unless they dont teach you geography in japan, u should know that asians
are natives of Asia.
SO like it or not, whether you are an indian, chinese, arab, jew, japanese,
mongolian, indonesians, malay, pakistani, filipino, bruneian, thai,
laotian, vietnamese, korean or even siberian..YOU ARE AN ASIAN! You have no
right to reserve the word asian for yourself.
The world's already screwed up..dont make it more confusing.

If it's only the white man who is racist then why do you make a point
of mentioning that you are "fair".

Come on,we all know just how racist Indians can be, albeit towards
each other. Just have a look at the matrimonials which advertise for
"wheatish" or fair skinned spouses! How many times have you heard the
whispering that so and so will never get a good match because they are
so dark.

I suggest you get over the holier than thou complex about the white
man and look in our own back yard before pointing the finger at
anyone.

Next time you might even have the confidence to post as "An Indian"
instead of "A Fair Indian"

That's a meaningless remark. Races are cultural constructs and have no
basis in objective fact. Just ask any anthropologist. Scientists
haven't believed in the objective existence of races since at least
the 1950s.

Once again: race is a purely cultural construct and has no basis in
objective, scientific fact. If you do a survey of attitudes towards
race, you'll see that it's defined differently in different countries.
In the U.S., for example, traditionally race has been defined based on
skin color virtually to the exclusion of anything else. And the
standard has traditionally been that a drop of "black blood" made you
black. In South Africa, on the other hand, people of "mixed race" are
considered as "coloreds". It should take no leap of imagination to
understand that most American blacks (and indeed many who now are
considered white) would be considered "colored" in South Africa.

Just stick to geography. If you want to argue that Eurasia shouldn't
be separated into Europe and Asia, so that the British and the Chinese
should both be described as Eurasians, that's a valid argument. If you
want to argue that the Indian subcontinent is not part of Asia, that's
a little harder, I think. And then there's always the question of
whether offshore islands like Japan are to be included. Some British
have never really considered themselves European by virtue of the fact
that they live on islands offshore.

But quit with all these "race" arguments. Race is an invidious
category and we should recognize it for the falsehood it is.

Indians are suddenly NOT Asians because Indians are hard working, honest,
well integrated people who conduct themselves well, do not throw vegetables
during demonstrationsm do not smash other property during demonstrations,
in fact do no demonstrate often. They use their BRAIN to put forward
arguments!
On top of it Indians value democracy very much!

In consequence you can't accept Indians as Asians because they don't go
on the rampage and attempt to destroy other peoples' democratic rights
and democratcy itself so Australian activists can't accept them as Asians.

I guess Malaysians and Indonesians aren't Asians either because they
behave well, they conduct themselves like HUMANS.

Apparently the real Asians are only some vegetable throwing lunatics who
smash
things in demonstrations and attempt to destroy democracy in Australia even
if these people are white John Lennon glasses wearing people with ponytails
with names like McInley e.t.c. and some people of Asian descent their
own home countries are happy to be rid of too. This notion MUST be brought
forward by the activists because how should they otherwise win their little
war?

The original poster obviously cannot think. India is part of
Asia. So, Indians are Asians. Japan is part of the Orient. So,
the Japanese are Orientals. QED.

haha. Yeah, right. And that's why they also kill each other off because
of stupid religion. How many times have we heard about the violent
clashes between Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims? And they only condemn a person

Old Democracy still very immature. Last time I heard, Democracy is
not unique to India in Asia.

You say Indonesia? Gee well, just ask the hundreds of thousands of East
Timorese who were murdered by the Indonesians. Yeah HUMANS, HUMAN BUTCHERS.
Malaysia? Just ask all those Rain Forest natives whom the Malaysian
government is creating an environment of racial genocide. I'm sure those
dying native people will say how the Malaysians are conducting themselves
well.

So what. The comments were racist. India is on the same continent as
China etc. All people from that continent are collectively refered to as
asian.

I guess we don't group people by the continents their countries are on.
I was perhaps thinking all peoples from the Asian continent are Asian
but the terms seems to be a bit too general. I dunno. Whatever!!

SO WHAT ? Lots of Orientals smell like garlic and have bad breath, does
that mean all people of Oriental races smell the same ?

Same with Indians, not all eat hot curries, so not all smell of curry.

Check your so-called "facts" before you spout your prejudices in public.

Wow.. since there have been so many threads to this header, thought
I'd join in the train so I don't get left out :)

I'll revert back to the original topic of Indians not being Asians.
If the original writer (whoever he/she is) feels so strongly about
Indians not being Asians, by all means, he/she can be whatever he/she
wants.

However, my stand is that India is part of Asia and as such, Indians
are Asians. I may be wrong though, you never know with world politics
these days. Besides, what's wrong with being Asian ? It's not like
it's a curse.

While studying in Spain and France I learned that there were 5
continents; Europe, Asia, America, Africa and Oceania. Back then, India
was part of Asia.
Then I immigrated to the US where I learned that there were 7
continents; Europe, Asia, N. America, S. America, Africa, Greenland and
Australia. Back then, India was still part of Asia.
If Indians do not consider themselves Asians is solely based on culture,
language and race. So, why not stop the thread here, and move on to
Australian topics.
I hope Atlantis does not become a continent when I immigrate to
Australia. :-)

By the way, can anyone point me in the right direction on where to
retrieve good info on Darwin and the Northern Territory? (Been to
Perth, Fremantle, Sydney and Albany)

Aussies, be proud of your country, ...it sure beats the ones I lived in.

I'm afraid you're still wrong :) The 7 continents are (in
no particular order): North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa,
Australia and Antartica. Greenland was never considered a continent.
Australia is alternatively called Oceania sometimes.
India was considered a sub-continent because geologic
evidence says it it was moving around and rammed into Asia, causing
the Himalayas, becoming part of Asia then. All this before there
were humans, of course, so it shouldn't matter to us :)
To the fool who originally started this thread. Use your
brain. Asians are the people who live in Asia. People from Asia
are Asians, just as people like you are anal. Now, go flush your
self away for crossposting the hell out of this thread. And
for trolling.

We're splitting hairs a bit here, but the one who's wrong is you. All
of Mexico except for the very southernmost part is part of North
America, not part of the isthmus of Central America. Check out your
atlas again.

their country of origin. Geographically Mexicans are North Americans,
culturally they are Latin Americans.... Unlike many people that I know who
live in this country and call themselves italian, irish, Chinese americans
etc Latinos are proud of who they are and do not try to impress others
by calling themselves spanish native americans etc.
