Asia Finest Discussion Forum > AsiaFinest.com > Talk about AsiaFinest
SyriaAsia
I'd like to say this is a good site so far as it recognizes more than just East Asia as being Asian. I liked that India is discussed; but I feel this site could be great, if not perfect if they added a little more from west/Southwest Asia. So it would be nice if you added a Southwest Asia chat.

Also, I know it would be hard to add every single Asian celeb as not all are very prominent, but Southwest Asia has a huge seen going on making a splash all over!

They got so many singers and actors like (even though I'm not a fan of hers) Haifa Wehbe, and many, many more.

So I hope to see more of that here beerchug.gif

Your comment is so ignorant and disapointing. First off, Russia overlaps into Asia- it is not really part of the continent hence being Eurasian. Secondly, are you the typical idiot who thinks only people with slanted eyes are Asian? The people of Damascus were some of the first in civilization, and women from there advocated for Asian womens rights (look up Amina the revolutionary). Did you also know in the UK Arabs & Indians are called Asian, while East/Southeast Asians are called oriental? West/Southwest Asia are Asian and I suggest you look up the history of Asia as you don't seem to know anything about it.

Too bad, because you should be embracing our unique and diverse Asia.

unfortunately we don't even have a Burma forum yet so getting a SW Asian forum will not go well with many members but i think there should eventually be one

embarassedlaugh.gif nice rant.

how about answering my question this time? do south west asians IDENTIFY as asians? embarassedlaugh.gif

you bring up UK as an example of where south asians are referred to as asians. i already knew that, i was looking for an example of a place that give the rep for asians to west asians.

See, you say you're serious but then place snide, sarcastic comments with laughing smilye's. It's not a matter of how West Asians refer to themselves - the fact is they are Asian! And Syria will beat your butt for the Asian cup! (they beat China but that's not saying much icon_smile.gif )

Just so you know the governments of North America refer to West/Southwest Asias as that, & not the middle-east etc...

Why don't you embrace the entire Asian continent? We need to unite!
TruthDoesntHurt
You really Syrian? I find it hard to belief.
You a troll?

Sorry but I have opposite opinion. I dont think it's a good idea to put Western Asian segments in here, except if people want to discuss it occasionally, they can do that if they like.

It's just simply because it will be too diverse and unwieldy.

Even India, I dont think is a good idea.

India should be erased from this forum.

This is just my personal opinion.

embarassedlaugh.gif sorry, people who dont see themselves as asians, wont be considered one by me. this stems from white washed asians, but i guess it applies to "west" asians in this case as well.

as for the....asian cup, congrats to syria. but if you want to insult me we both know i place olympics above the asian cup.


btw, when did i say i was serious. you flatter yourself LOL

seems a lot of racist talk here...... i don't know if I necessarily agree but i don't know if I disagree either. I mean, there's already an India chat perhaps to represent South Asian in general as well, how similar to the rest of your prototypical Asia is that? my thought exactly. might as well be consistent on the diverstiy theme and include Burma (an exception in this case), middle east and west asia, russia asia, etc etc etc etc which are all located in Asia.

Well then, nobody cares! In fact, who cares what you consider Asian? LOL! Whether you like it or not if someone is from the continent of Asian than THEY ARE ASIAN!

Maybe we shouldn't consider east Asians Asian? Since most of those countries and islands are on the outskirts of Asia.

You also asked me to answer your question so I thought maybe for a second you were mature & being serious, guess I was wrong! VERY wrong!

i actually dont care if you dont think east asians are asian.

yes, i asked you to answer my question when you completely ignored it even though you replied to me. doesnt mean im taking you seriously. you are indeed VERY wrong.

syria ignore midnight. What he says is just an opinion, and what you say is a fact. The nature of being asian is, of asian descent. You can't argue the nature of something as it is self evident. Midnight claims things out of stupidity rather than ignorance. At this point teaching him won't do any good, just ignore.

actually the nature of "asian" is geographical. has nothing to do with descent.

im not the only one who feels the label is stupid because it includes people who dont see themselves as asian. so i changed my view to adapt.

please say more about stupidity then tell me more of asian descent. rotflmao.gif

I was claiming of descent becuase It was pertaining to this convo. Yes everyone living in America are called Americans. Ethnicity wise that is not so. that is why there is asian america, american asian. What other irrelevant things do you have to say.

that makes no sense. Asia is a geographical term, nothing to do with descent.

"asian american" is a term to lump the legit terms of "Chinese American, Korean America, Vietnamese American, etc". thats it. how about your learn what a descendant is? then tell me who all asians are descendants of? rotflmao.gif

you brought it up, now you say its irrelevant. rotflmao.gif

Yea it does not make sense when you try to talk about irrelevant things like geographics. This is why I say descent. Lets say I am Asian but live in Africa, now am I not Asian? Whe are not reading fu-king maps here. Now when we talk about the people, like most people do, it is correct to say descent. okay? now quit with your $hit.

I usually lurk and stay out of debates. Only reason I continue to post is because I found what you said against syria absurd.

geography irrelevant in a discussion about ASIA which is a geographical term rotflmao.gif

i dont care WHY you say "descent" go look up what it means to be a descendant then tell me who is the ancestor of all asians you joke rotflmao.gif


no, not even "most people" say they are "Asian" if they have a choice for something more specific. If you have to fill out a form and your actual ethnicity isnt listed people choose it. Maybe only you are retarded enough to say "im Asian" when someone asks your ethnicity, even in Africa. rotflmao.gif

You contradict yourself greatly.

"no, not even "most people" say they are "Asian" if they have a choice for something more specific. If you have to fill out a form and your actual ethnicity isnt listed people choose it. Maybe only you are retarded enough to say "im Asian" when someone asks your ethnicity, even in Africa. " You are damn literal and seeing just the tree and not the forest. I was using the term Asian for the sake of convienence. Also you interpret my words in ways for me to admit you are right, not for the sake of what I am saying.

Also you don't answer my question if I am not asian. lets say YOU WIN cause I made my point, I don't see any need for repition when everything can be viewed.

Let me try to be YOU and conclude because I admit YOU WIN.
Since the nature of being Asian accords to geographics, thefore I am not asian. Things like ethnics, traditions, culture, descent, politics does not matter in which the nature of being asian is.edit to be very clear here, there for I am not ASIAN Hard to communicate huh? well you don't have to, this is my last post of this thread.

Lastly I want to go back to the original reason why I first posted. You have pointed out India and viewed India not as Asian. Fine thats an opinion. You also say Indians do not viewed themselves as Asian. Well you are very wrong. I have some Indian friends and they do view themselves as Asians. Infact Indians take part in Cultural Asian Festivals.
As an opinion, the act of you segregating India from being Asian, I feel is a early stage of racism to those of Indians. This is an opinion I have of what you say so don't mind it if you don't want to. Some also feel this way.

are you high?

you are finally starting to get it. there is no Asian ethnic, no Asian traditions, no Asian culture. there are Chinese, Korean, etc. etc. but not Asian.

why? because Asia includes too much. its stupid. the term "asia" includes people who dont even identify as asians. so i used my adaption for white washed asians (who dont really see themselves as asian either).

its not complicated actually. unless you are HIGH rotflmao.gif
