Full Version: Every East Asian has an Indian bestfriend!
Do you think it's true? I think we make the perfect Duo. I myself personally have an Indian best friend and he's a tech genius. He takes care of my technology problems and I solve his girl problems. Better than Starsky and Hutch combo, I would say.

I donno about others, but I do have a lot of East/South East Asian friends. I think we understand each others better cos even though we are from different countries, many Asians(South, SouthEast,East) have very similar cultural practices/worldview, such as respecting your elders,family and a drive to succeed. naturally this common ground reults in East/South east asians and Indians hanging out together/being friends more and more. I see this in my college as well...The engineering and other heavy-science related majors are 90% Asian(South, EAst,SE)..easily..the white and other ethnicities are almost a rarity.lol
I have friends from pretty much every EA/SEA ethnicity except for Indonesia/Malaysia (well I know some but not really friend-friends). I get invited to the Chinese new year parties...Volunteer to help out with the yearly Japanese Festival and not to mention the occasional Korean hot pot.It's a great experience to experience the culture of others and vice versa. This summer I'm gonna teach my non-South Asian friends how to play cricket
. So yeah..as you said We Indians/SEA/EA make great friends.Btw here is an interesting article from the local newspaper
QUOTE
On Stevens Creek Boulevard on Wednesday, five teenagers from Cupertino High School -- three Chinese-American, two Indian-American -- looking for a place to have lunch offered an optimistic answer to Lai's question.
"We don't care, we're all friends," said Serena Tang, 14, who is Chinese-American.
The group debated whether to eat at Shanghai Dim Sum or the newer Indian market Pasha's a few doors away. If there's any downside to the pan-Asian movement into Cupertino, they said, it's the near-absence of black, white and Latino students for a truly integrated campus experience.
"There's no variation," said Diksha Venkatesh, 15.
"We don't really see many black people," said Nirmit Shah, 14. And the "white kids usually hang out by themselves."

You are brainwashed by the ignorant american teachings my friend. I guess the westerners "divide and conquer" theme still takes a toll on people's subconscious even today.
The title should have been every East Asian has a South Asian best friend! Because Indians are ASIANS, and even in the UK we are called "Asians".
India, both geographically and culturally are Asian.
But to be on topic, yes I do agree we mix in very well, almost every East/South-East asian person I have met in my life are so polite, disciplined, smart and have a high moral understanding.

No, I just never really had an Indian person tell me they're Asian. So it's just stuck in my head like that. Haha

In the UK....NE/SE Asians are called orientals....Desis are the ones who are called asians
in the US its the opposite
I would say that I don't face a lot of racism and discrimination amongst Indians, Pakistani's etc. So it's not a surprise that a lot of East Asians living in Western countries have good relationships with Southern Asians.
Unlike white people who like to look down on Asians, blacks with a chip on their shoulder, and also the MOST RACIST people I've met, and hispanics who tend to stick to themselves.
