What bothers me is when people don't think that Pakistanis, Indians or Bangladeshi are Asian. Or when some don't realise that the middle east is a region and not a continent and they think Saudi Arabia isn't from Asia and they think it is in the Middle East. Yes Saudi Arabia is from Middle East but it is also from Asia.
Tom Boy: Ishika - hahaa I'm from South Asia but.. I DON'T have Asian eyes or ny kind of Asian or more like korean features like monolids etc.. Me: You don't need to have thin eyes to claim that you are Asian. That is just a stereotype.
Lightning: I love how Americans think Asia and Africa are just two big countries and everyone there looks the same lol. Me: I know it really bugs me. Majority of people in Britain are like that.

I just temporarily added it in my middle name.
Princess: Asia tops off at Mongolia and Kazakhstan and the western part ends with Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, and INDIA. It's so weird how just looking at a MAP can clear up misconceptions lol but I guess that's ignorance for you, some people will just refuse the truth simply because you look different. Me: You've spoken my mind.
Rainy Posted:New friend: "So..what ethnicity are you?"
Rainy: "Oh I'm half asian and half white."
New friend: "So are you chinese?"
Rainy "No I'm half Japanese."
New friend: "*gasp* Can you speak Japanese??"
Rainy: "No. I didn't learn it."
New friend: "I thought you were half Japanese though."
Rainy: "*Slowly giving up*"
Me: I know how you feel. I was born in the UK which means I wouldn't know every word in Bengali. Would you expect most people from England even know their words. I mean I met a lot of people in my town who didn't know some words in English mean.
Elaine: For me, the most annoying thing is when I get asked: "Why aren't you chinky?", "Your eyes are too big for an Asian, did you get surgery?", "You have double eye lids, are you trying to be white?" * rage *
Just to let you guys know. Hindi is a language originated from India and Hindu is a person who worships Hinduism.
I also don't understand why most people associate South Asians with Healthcare and Science Industry. My Asian friend isn't even interested in that industry and is more interested in the Mechanical Industry
I'm half American, half Japanese. I travel there every 1 or 2 years, but it's usually really awkward and embarrassing because I hardly understand what my grandparents are saying, and my mom has to be the translator all the time.
Someone told me that they call Asians "Yellow People".LOL
cz we don't completely fall into the white or black category.
I bet most(not all) people from an Asian background get compared by heir siblings or when they are compared to you.. Literally all my Asian classmates have been compared to their siblings.
Another one would be: When You Get An Accent Whenever You Talk To Your Family, And Everyone Loves Pointing It Out.
Also: When You Take Your Friends Out To Get Asian Food And They Pronounce Everything Wrong On The Menu. Then They Order Something Way Too Spicy For Their Palette.
