Malaysian, Indonesian, Cambodian, Indonesian and Filipino etcIk am when people ask me what ethnicity I am, and I say “Asian” they would want, “but I thought that Asians have small eyes, fair skin blah blah … “It makes my blood koken.Dus think you just have to think all Asians are Chinese, Korean, Japanese ancestry?

These people are not familiar with geography? I do not think I use the term “Asian brown” heard. If I did I’m sure that I would immediately discount for why distinguish between people that way. I see some value, but I suppose it’s marginal to me. I am familiar with Malaysia?, Indonesia?, Cambodia and the Philippines. I know that countries in Asia?.

It’s hard I mean there are so many racists out there its impossible to make them think a particular race is always a stereotype Asians as they will send us your questions, Chinese or Japanese? That’s all they know whether they look Asian stupid question to ask they will say that Asian people always talk squinchy eyes away slowly with a mouth. . do not worry it’s just prejudice and racist for your sake, I ignore people like that

No, I understand that “Asians”, as understood by many people include those ethnicities. I also understand that the Asian technically all Asians, including the Middle East, Indians, etc.

yes I know what you mean. Most people associate? Asian run the floor with people of Chinese, Korean, etc. origin. Personally, I think Filipinos, because I’m half Filipino and I know many of them.

I am Cambo-Malaysian. I am in what is considered Brown Asian country, the contrast is that I have light skin and normal eye. I told the people what I am, they would have me confused for Chinese, etc. I usually get a tan during the summer and people miracles. I understand the situatie.Het is a stereotype of what Asian should be. It’s ignorant. Rather than seeing Asians as a “whole” group of eyes and light skin tight groups, the Asian people feel that comes in different physical characteristics. Although there is a slight skin tight eyes, different skin colors and eye shapes, enz.Ik see that Chinese, Korean, Japanese often portrayed in mainstream media, so people familiar with the CK J more than the other parts of Asia?. have to wake up. They should be trained or have a sense of knowledge in the various Asia? geography, functions. Some even have no idea what is considered Asian. They need to go exploring or just tune in documentaries or search the Web in several Asian features.
