When someone says, "Asian" do you think of towelheads or chinks?
I think it's a bit mental that one word is used to describe completely different races.

I think it's a bit mental that one word is used to describe completely different races.
:mellow:
But both China and India are on the Asian continent
ummm... do you not think 'towelhead' and 'chink' is just a bit too derogative to be used to refer to Arabian/Indian and Chinese people?
No.
I find being lumped together with the rest of the arseholes on the continent offensive though.
I would think of the former rather than the latter.
anyone from asia i think
Have a hypothetical.
You were just mugged by this guy. You're reporting the incident to the police. Do you describe him as Asian or Indian?
Obviously you would want to give the most accurate description possible to increase the odds of them catching him.
IC4 Male, 50 to 55, medium build, brown eyes. Dark hair, greying at temples, possibly tied at back, moustache. Casually dressed, with open collared shirt and fleece jacket. May be wearing ear-ring at the top of left ear.
and incredibly fucking hairy ears:blink:
I don't think so, I think it's tied back.
Don't depreciate my race with your menial words, impotent doctor.
Anyways, most people think of only oriental Asians, but technically it's supposed to include Indians and Pacific Islanders as well.
What the fuck are you talking about.Quote:

Either way, don't pontificate about what "most people" think, unless you can substantiate it.

Which word did I tell you meaning of?

I didn't tell you what it meant .... I told you my hypothesis of the consensus of the general population.
Sure, you can start it. I'm not afraid to be wrong. :happy: Or, can a poll still be attached to this thread?

I got my arse kicked by a Chinese guy when 14 because i said in front of him "i'm gonna order a Chinky". Stopped using that phrase suddenly. Also, of the few words nearly every Chinese person knows, Chinky/Chink is up there with things like ok, hello, alibaba and microsoft. And they take it very offensively...lots of drunken foreigners have had their arses kicked for it. Then again, to the Chinese, every white person is American, every black person they still call "n##ro" and all Japanese are mo' fo's,
He could be from Pakistan or Bangladesh and if it happened in The Netherlands, where I live, he would obviously be a Suriname. He could also be a Doctor from Iran.Quote:

Well it doesn't really make very much sense even as a statement. "That's a question no." It's just a load of words thrown at the page.
'Asian' makes me think of asian women. :ermm:
asian cock hungry whores
asian lady-boys

I wouldn't think of either, i'd simply cross the road to avoid them.
Racists.
Asians = Chinese, Japs, and Koreans.
The rest are just posers, the wanna-bes.
China, Korea, Japan > India, Pakistan, Vietnam, etc etc. Fact.
I can't believe the derogatory terms used in this thread. I thought that wasn't allowed here? Wow...
I'm in Eastern Canada and I think of Asians as Japanese/Chinese people. To me, men who wear turbans aren't what I'd call "Asians". They're just who they are.
But that's just what I think, not what everyone thinks, for sure.
When I hear about the race "Asian," the first thing that comes to my mind is the porn movie "Me Love U Long Time."
When I hear about the race "White," the first thing that comes to my mind is a guy with Bill Gates features.
When I hear about the race "Indian," the first things that comes to my mind are Indian, Pakistanis, Desi, Bangladishi, etc.
When I hear about the race "Pacific Islander," the first things that comes to my mind are Hawaiians, Samoans, and Tiger Woods.
No hate though. I have a lot of friends of all races and I love and respect different cultures .
That's furry muff, when I think of brazil I think of erectile dysfunction.
Sorry about your boyfriend, mate. :wacko:Quote:
