What European country are you referring to? I live in Europe and we call Asians "Asians" and people from the Middle East are usually referred to by their country of origin, or they are called Arabs if it's unclear where they are from. I mean, it's really easy to see if someone is actually (eastern) Asian or if they ethnically originate in the Middle East.




Based on my watching of British TV, it seems like over there "Asian" is usually assumed to mean people from places like India and Bangladesh. In the US and Canada it seems to be more likely people will assume you're talking about people from places like China, Japan or Korea.




Yes, in the UK "Asian refers" to Indians, Pakis, Persians, etc. I think they call east Asians Mongolians, but I can't remember what they call us.

He may have a point about population growth and eating at a lower trophic level.
You can feed more people with rice and fish because you arent wasting resources needed to feed the cow, which is more than the nutritional value of the cow itself.
The western mindset revolves around meat,even though that is way worse for the planet.

Chinese population actually didn't really skyrocket until after the Ming Dynasty, around the 1500's the population tripled. But they always had a large population, even before that during the Han Dynasty around 200 A.D. the population was still 60 million, which was at the time 1/4 of the world's population.

Almost all of the rest of the world outside of the west eats at lower trophic levels. In Africa, legumes and beans and whole grains are usually what's consumed. Some also like to eat fried grasshoppers and botfly worms, which apparently is high in protein. In East Asia it's rice and fish.

Uhmmm China is huge, not all of China is warm. Did you forget that China borders Russia as well? There are some areas of China that are deserts too, not all of China is tropical. Northern China snows all the time. Central China has deserts larger than the Sahara (and as we all know deserts foster no plant life other than cacti).

China's climate as a whole is very similar to the USA - from tropical to frozen wasteland.

Arabs are an ethnic group that have huge populations in both the Middle East, and Africa.


You do know not all muslims are Arabs? And Egyptians are not Arabs they are Egyptian, come on.....
There are so many ethnic groups in the middle east, almost none of which would be referred to as “Asian”.  Hell even indian people don’t call themselves Asian.

You have never been to England, have you? When English people refer to "Asians," they are referring to Central Asia, Middle Easterners, and Indians. Americans refer to Eastern Asians as Asians.

Eastern Asians in the UK are called Mongolians, or Orientals.

And yes, I'm aware not all Muslims are Arabs, actually the majority of Muslims are black. But nobody mentioned Muslims anyway, soooooo...

There are quite a few insects getting munched down in East Asia, too. The grasshoppers are pretty good with beer :thumbup:

No i haven’t I do have a pretty good friend who is from London, never heard him call a middle easterner asian once.


He calls em pakis, and trust me there are plenty of both around.

I brought the muslim thing up because you said some ridiculously ignorant shit about arabs/middle easterners. But you just referred to “blacks” as an ethnic group so its obvious I’m fighting an up hill battle :facepalm:


Egypt is in North Africa populated by Egyptians and Berbers that have lived there since the start of civilization. Get that shit straight.




Don’t be that guy that did study abroad and now claims to know everything about a the country they spent less than a year in.

From London? As in, he has only been living there a couple of years and then moved to the US? Or has he been living most of his life in America? If he hasn't been living in America that long, you should ask him what "Asian" means in the UK. He will say the same thing I said.

A quick search will find that I am correct in my assertion of what Asians mean in the UK:

Quote:

British Asians are British citizens of South Asian descent, also known as South Asians in the United Kingdom. In British English usage, the term 'Asian' usually does not include East Asians, North Asians, or Southeast Asians.[5]

Prior to the formation of the United Kingdom, immigration of South Asians to England began with the arrival of the East India Company to the Indian subcontinent. This continued during the British Raj and increased in volume after the independence of India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Bangladesh from British rule, chiefly for education and economic pursuits. A major influx of South Asian immigrants, mostly of Indian and Pakistani origin, also took place following the expulsion of Indian communities (then holders of British passports) from Uganda and other East African nations (see Asians in Africa).

Actually the term "black" actually IS the accurate racial group. If you divide race up, it goes Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid. Since "negro" is not PC to say anymore, black is what is accurate when you are dividing up by race. What is NOT accurate is calling them "African-Americans," if you are referring to American blacks that is. Additionally, there are different races in every single country, so to say "black Muslim" is entirely different from saying "African Muslim." I'm amazed at the shit you don't know.

The majority of Muslims ARE black. There is no inaccuracy in my statement.

No. It's like you forgot what this thread is about. There are probably more Muslims in Indonesia than there are Arabs in the world.

As in born and raised in north london (he’s white, but that is only relevant assuming you actually know anything about England) here on an study exchange. But props on trying to act like more of an authority on England than an Englishman, Murrica fuck yaaaaa


Just admit when you are wrong. You called fucking Egyptians Arabian thats pretty bad and highly offensive :lol: and now you are backpedaling like a mofo. If you took those college history classes you are talking about you would know the story of Egypt is a story of foreign domination and control, which they are to this day highly resentful of. I guess i can make it strike home by saying Koreans are really Japanese since Japan dominated Korea for a long time.

Atleast i know the differences between race, ethnicity, and continents.


Never once in my life have i heard someone refer to a group of middle easterners as asians. Wrong as it may be when people say asian they mean the predominant physical traits associated with east asian people. (eyes, stature, hair color)

Which is more likely to be called asian (both are from Asia and roughly the same longitude)

In North America, "Asian" usually means East Asian. In Britain, "Asian" usually means South Asian (see the WP link Crystal posted.) Personally I've never heard of anyone in either place hearing someone described as "Asian" and assuming they were Middle Eastern or Arab. Many people do consider the Middle East to be part of Asia though.
