even look in urban dictionary. there are a number of entries under asian that includes indians. people of asian descent all over the US usually accept each other as asian to an extent. similar cultural/family values, educational success, job success, stereotypes associated, etc. what confused me is how non-asians would take much concern in this (which is how mama came across...but she said she didn't mean to, so it's fine)? there must be a reason, maybe a bad past experience? no hate whatsoever.
epicanthic folds sounds too medical and cold to me... like corpse pussy. i think slant eyes are pretty.
rofl, people throw around the word racist like it means nothing. the god of words, if he wasn't immortal, would roll in his grave. le sigh. it is what it is, i suppose. rofl at us americans. :cheers2:
i went to a racists house for a race and while racing we discussed racism and how long the race went and the racist says to me i sure like to run and we raced until the racists and i couldn't race anymore
No one really says South Asian round here, it's just asian. Well I am a teenager, so what's your excuse?
desi (pronounced they-see)is usually used amongst those who are south asian and those really into the culture (there are always the token white peeps on the bhangra dance teams). south asian is used throughout. I mentioned desi, because I know Jait is desi.
I always think of desi ghee when I see the written word because of the adverts on the indian channels my mum watches! haha.. Also, you're much more into the culture than I am. Do you have indian/pakistani* friends? *I changed it just for you KC.
no! that's the funny thing. maybe a handful, but I rarely see them! (btw, I'm not on a bhangra team. my friend is...and the guys on my floor last year love daler mehndi even though they're white). i've grown up in the suburbs over 96% white, statistic based. i guess curiosity got to me.
and rofl at indian ads. i like the nationwide ones and ajmeri baba. my sister and mom watches the shows, i just watch the commercials when i'm back from college.
Hm, neither do I. I guess I have no excuse then, same deal here! There's mostly gujuratis round here and I'm punjabi so.. yeah. They're not keen. I have one asian friend but she's depressed 90% of the time. How old are you? [oh yeah, this is turning into question time!]
