Do you consider Indians (from India) to be "Asian"?

I think anyone who lives on the Asian continent is Asian. "Asians" are the only race of people who are named after an entire continent, and it just so happens to be the most diverse continent. How selfish and moronic. Back in the old days they used to refer to them as "Orientals", which is a much more accurate term. The fuck did "Asian" come from?

Technically they are, as that continent is Asia (hence all being Asians)

But South Asia is a subcontinent all in itself. Hence Pakistani's, Indians, Sri Lankans, Nepalese etc etc all being labelled "South Asians" instead.

Yeah of course, they’re south Asian. I feel like a lot of people think that all Asians look like Chinese/Japanese/Korean people and that is it. There is so much more diversity than that

[bornnoutisdee]

Yes, because the country is located in Asia

[OddBeMe]

Yes. As far as I know there are only 7 continents. Tho it seems should only be six…. with Eurasia.

But it is generally South Asia or East Asia, along with the Mid East. There are lots of terms, based on where you are on the globe and who was boss when these decisions were made (white Europeans)

Eh... not really but sort of. It’s like asking if Russians are European. Sort of? I mean India is huge, it’s kind of it’s own thing. “The Indian sub-continent”. All those people. The different regions.

[BuckCannon]

Not at all, but then again, some view Russians as Asians.

[BarryLiverstone]

Not usually. I also don’t consider someone from Canada as North American or from Germany as European

[Skull_Anon]

Yes India belongs to Asia

[Dargil]

South Asians.

[shortster]

Of course
