Asian/could be/0.

Do I win a prize? :blink::P

Asian as in like Pakistani, or Asian as in like Chinese? I don't get it. :blink:

My "asian" is Pakistani. We call Chinese Chinese here in the UK!! I've known a few Indian men to have the name Jamal. Hence my Asian choice. :D

Makes sense. I find it so interesting how that is the opposite here in the US. Chinese are Asian and Pakistani are Pakistani. :lol:

Could get quite confusing...as we have just found out! :yes::lol:

P.S. I know that Pakistan and Indian are different countries...before anyone jumps on me!

In many parts of the US, they're Pakistanian.

Really? What parts? I've never heard that!

Indeed. Good thing Asian isn't an offensive term (yet).

I've never heard that. I HAVE heard other....more colourful....names for them, though.

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

Since you expect people to be hypersensitive, allow me to play the part. The country is India, not Indian hmph!

I heard that in college. It was a running joke, unsure how it originated.
