Why are Indians always attempting to pass themselves off as Asian...

Why are Indians always attempting to pass themselves off as Asian? I always have to suppress a laugh every time I see one try to casually associate themselves with some Asian stereotype like being good at math or having strict tiger parents.

because they're literally asians..?

>t. Xhang
Because you Amerimutts classify Indians diaspora in your country as Asians.

woa....never thot of it like that...

guess every country geographically located in asia are totally what the world associates as 'asian'...

Wrong, poo. Britbongs do that. Indians are classified as white on the US census.

I'm curious, is the american standard of being "white" less strict than the european's?

Nobody actually considers Indians white in America. The census is just retarded. Arabs and Persians are also considered white.

Is it OK for ASEAN to associate themselves with Asian stereotype?

Must be a cultural thing? I heard a Belge refering to Iranians as Asian before. Very strange.

You mean Caucasians?

In my experience, Indian Americans consider themselves distinct from East Asians

According to the census Sudanese are also white

it's fucking funny

we are black

I live among the densest populations of Indians in America. Through my entire life, Indians have always joined asian-american clubs, joked about their 'asian-ness', etc.

Yeah, Asians( including middle East) is very family oriented unlike western world which is more about individualism. That's why Indians and East Asians can relate with each other.

india is in asia

Interesting. I live in predominantly white suburbia, but know and have befriended quite a few of the Indians here. The ones I know emphasize that India is a subcontinent, therefore distinct from the rest of Asia. Also, when I was in college there was a Sri Lankan girl lamenting that she was classified as "Asian."

Guess it depends on the individual. It just comes across as really pathetic to me to latch on to a culture that isn't yours.

India has its own culture though, what do you mean theyre latching onto a culture that isnt theirs?

Its a identification, in england indians are asians but in america they arent because most people here think asian = east asian. Then again in america people think indian = native american so theyre fucked either way as what they identify.

>American education

Well, you guys even consider yourself white so it shows how accurate it is.

No idiot, indians are still considered asians in census and school applcations

they are literally neighbors with china , asian isnt just a racial concept you ignorant cuck

the problem is the way you use the word asian, not them

Such a stupid thread had to be made by an American

why are americans so pigshit stupid

>britbong education

Enjoy your 'asian rape gangs', retards.

I don't think you quite understand, my slavic friend.

In the United States, when people refer to something as Asian, it typically stands to refer to the peoples who share the language families, haplogroups, and cultural motifs spread through the ancient Chinese cultural sphere. Culturally, genetically, and linguistically, India shares much greater relations with the Middle-East and Caucasus region.

The Indians I am referring to are very much aware of these connotations, and lump themselves in with them. Hence, why I mentioned them appealing to stereotypes typically associated with east Asians.

I thought you were semi-Arab.

so they should start calling themselves something else just because some tard on the other side of the world is triggered by it

sorry user, but most peoples lives dont revolve around you

Wow, you're fucking dense. I'm talking about Indians IN AMERICA. Let's also stop pretending the connotations do not exist through the rest of the western world. When somebody says "asian", east and/or southeast asian is the first to come to mind.

yes, i know your language is shitty for distinguishing asians, but you really should blame someone closer to home for that

Isn't it time for another nigger riot?

>Why are Asians always attempting to pass themselves off as Asian?

>having strict tiger parents

>Why are Jews always attempting to pass themselves off as White?

so you're mad asians are calling themselves asians?

lol there are a lot of americans baiting on this board to play into the stereotype, but this one feels so genuine, this guy is a STANDARD mutt.

It is a shame that British reading comprehension is so poor.

I'm 100% Korean btw.

>Peter J. Aspinall of the Centre for Health Services Studies, University of Kent, recommends privileging the term "South Asian" over the term "Asian", since the term "Asian" is a "contested term".

Literally disputed in your own linked article. I'm really beginning to fear for the yuro education systems. I thought it was just the inbred island genetics of the bongs deflating their intelligence, but this appears to be a continent-wide epidemic.

>why are people from Asia attempting to pass themselves off as Asian?
Another quality thread brought to you by the US of A

/thread
Even roaches and kangz are asians

don't get marties in a sharty mate

mmmmuuuuuuhhhh geeeeoooograaaapphyyy...

ohhpeeee yooou so stoopid, oriiigiiin and ideeentiteee are purelllly geographicuuuuul

>Asian is an identity

because they are asians you're just so dumb you think asian means chinese only

I'll shart in your mouth, copen-igger.

>Mediterranean is an identity
>Baltic is an identity
>European is an identity
>Latin American is an identity
>OH WAIT BUT ASIAN ISN'T LOL

Please end your life, pasta faggioli.

>>Mediterranean is an identity
>>Baltic is an identity
>>European is an identity
>>Latin American is an identity

India is in Asia.

>"durrr but I don't agree"- brainlet american

I thought America had good education standards wtf.

Who told you that ?

...

Most of the top universities lists are always populated by American Universities.

Am I being trolled? Are you people seriously this thick? I am aware India is LITERALLY, PHYSICALLY located in Asia. Geographical location and the mix of cultural and genetic exchange/identity are two separate things. I know you know this. I know your brain can process this. You know when I say Indians are trying to pass themselves as Asians I am not referring to their geographical point of origin, but the connotations the word has associated with east asians within America. Please pull your head out of your ass.

Glad to see you come out as just a shitty troll with zero argument.

Better than your sanitation standards, pajeet.

>Why are Indians always attempting to pass themselves off as Asian? I always have to suppress a laugh every time I see one try to casually associate themselves with some Asian stereotype like being good at math or having strict tiger parents.
Well, is it wrong?

>this part of Asia is Asian, this other part is not Asian because the Asian tab on porn sites only refers to Chinese and Japanese porn
The absolute state of American anthropology

>You know when I say Indians are trying to pass themselves as Asians I am not referring to their geographical point of origin, but the connotations the word has associated with east asians within America

How thick can a person be? The reason has already been explained to you several times i.e. Indians think when someone is stereotyping Asians, they are stereotyping Indians too.

>within america
Lmao who gives a shit then ? Say whatever incorrect things you want as long as it's restricted to your own country

That's the entire point of my thread. They aren't. You are not what Americans would consider asian and you sound retarded when you try to lump yourselves into our identity so you can seem "non-white".

Is it really so incorrect? When your country is separated from the rest of Asia by massive mountains, and virtually all of the rest of the continent had been severely influenced by the cultural and genetic exchange of ancient china, why should India deserve the primary categorization of asian?

The pasta is thick with this one. Let me help you out, Luigi.

Greenland is a country physically located in North America. Greenland as a country is culturally and economically tied to Europe, especially Scandinavia. Here's a country that is geographically located in one region with a distinct set of identities more attuned to the identities of a distant place. Is this really so difficult for you?

culturally Greenland is Inuit though

>Indian culture is not native to Asia
Are you really that desperate for (You)?

they're South Asian

OP is a dumb motherfucker.
Stop giving him (You)s.

Your country is shit.
Your skin is the color of shit.
Your streets are filled with shit.
Your rivers are filled with shit.
Your food looks like shit.
Your food gives people the shits.
Your people smell like shit.
Your life is likely shit.

Rid yourself from this board, poo.

You're one dumb motherfucker.

>t. sub-90 iq street shitter

Go on. You're proving it. You're the dumbest motherfucker on Sup Forums

Ever see one of these before?

Sup Forums tier dumb motherfucker.

i'm willing to bet op is from cali or somewhere in the south

You're the laughing stock of the entire world. You will never be Asian. You are the ugly wart growing on our ass, covered in dried feces. But the growth is not part of the ass, it does not belong with the harmony of the rest of the body. It is an ugly, detestable blemish that unfortunately taints the rest of such a beautiful figure.

Alright, dumb motherfucker.

They seem more middle-eastern to me but w/e

middle eastern is western cuck speak for muslim
it has no ethnic or cultural meaning beside islam

1. Those are majority foreigner though and almost all of them return home.
2. They teach .000001% of the population.
3. Those rankings are shit based solely upon R&D spending. No price adjustment either.

>>European is an identity

You can 56% meme all you want, cunt, it doesn't make it any less true. Some identities are stronger and more personal than others, but it doesn't make them any less so. It's all a matter of scale and perspective. A man from Stockholm might identify to other countrymen as a Stockholmer, to other Europeans as a Swede, and as a European or Westerner when discussing the broad strokes his identity on a world stage. You faggots must have one or two ideals in common if you formed a shitty union over it.

Dumb motherfucker, you're still mad?

How can I be mad when God blessed me with not being born Indian?

Yep. Still mad.

that makes no sense. Muslims are more widespread than just the Middle-Eastern ethnicities. It's like saying you shouldn't refer to people of Europe as Europeans but as Christians.

buttmad , I guess.

>be indian
>thoughts immediately drift towards the anus

like poo-ttery
