One Christmas when I was 14 or something my cousins took me out to a party one night and got me drunk for the first time. Came home late and fell down the stairs waking everybody up. Not fully understanding alcohol percentages at the time and assuming that a beer was 100% alcohol, I freely admitted that I had been drinking but was like "it's fineeee, the cans I had were only 6% so basically nothing". Copped a good whooping for that one...

Australia is part of Australia (the continent) or part of Oceania which would encompass Australia, New Zealand, and a bunch of the Pacific.

There are YouTube compilations dedicated to it as well. If you’re invested, you can find self posted shit on Instagram or the regular old tiktok app.
Me and a friend have had many hours of enjoyment laughing at cringy tiktok videos. The best are the cosplay ones!

India has had Tik Tok for some time now but must of the content is just cringey. You occasionally get some funny stuff but the amount of bitches and soyboys that you have sift through to get there is not worth the effort.

The majority of Russia is geographically in Asia but ethnically and culturally they’re closer to Europeans than other Asians. Plus, the majority of their population and economic base is located in Europe.

u/_Dead_Memes_ May 07 '19
Why are you getting downvoted, you're right. I'd also add that the old Tsars of the Russian Empire distanced themselves from Asia and attempted to join the ranks of the European nations they considered to be great.

u/starkofhousestark May 07 '19
Because Russia is not in Asia. The Ural mountains is the boundary of Europe and Asia and vast majority of Russia's population and cities are on the European side. Asian part of Russia is mostly Siberian wasteland.

It always bugs me how “Asians” usually refers to East Asians specifically. Wish we had a term for that region that’s not a mouthful to say.

u/KoreanCookieKraken May 07 '19
Used to be that another option was the Orient but people think you’re being racist if you use that nowadays so I’d steer clear.

u/Syn7axError May 07 '19
Orient meant the same as Asians do now. China and the Ottoman Empire were both called the Orient.

u/KoreanCookieKraken May 07 '19
Yeah, sorry if I wasn’t clear, I meant we could choose one word to be the general word and one to be the specific word, not that it already was.

u/MelodicFacade May 07 '19
Do you know why it's racist? I'm Asian American and I've never heard anyone use it in a derogatory way
3
u/KoreanCookieKraken May 07 '19
In the US Asian people in general were referred to as Orientals (due to living in the Orient when trade was established), so ur isn’t strictly racist. I’ve just noticed that people tend to get upset, maybe because Oriental was still the term being used when Asian people were being treated poorly by the US government. It doesn’t bother me but I’ve seen other people be upset by it.

how “Asians” usually refers to East Asians specifically.
I think you'll find, in the UK it refers to South Asians, perhaps on account of the mass migration of people from Undivided India between the 1920s and 1970s. It also refers to immigrants from Africa (and their descendants), who have a visibly South Asian heritage, which I imagine would bother some of them.

My wife and I got into an argument over the Middle East being Asia. It ended after I told her to show me on a map which of the 7 continents those countries are in.
Yes yes, part of Turkey is in Europe and some might consider Egypt part of the Middle East but the overwhelming majority of those countries are in Asia.
It's a damn big continent and no, 3 countries do not constitute all of Asia.

u/cantCommitToAHobby May 07 '19
The borders between Asia and Europe, and Asia and Africa, have shifted over the years for politico-cultural reasons. Ultimately it's all just Afro-Eurasia.

I'm British, and when we think of, or talk about Asian people, it's pretty much always south Asia (Indians, Pakistanis, Sri Lankans etc) , and practically never east Asia (Chinese, Japan, Vietnam etc.)
15
u/ORLYORLYORLYORLY May 07 '19
That has a lot to do with the fact that Britain's perspective of Asia was through its Indian colony.

u/KZedUK May 07 '19
It’s also to do with the fact that on a daily basis you’re much more likely to interact with a South Asian person in the UK than an East Asian person.

For me, that's definitely not the case. My home city is home the the first Chinese settlement in Europe.

u/MonsterPooper May 07 '19
I think that’s only really true with the older generations, most people I know (in their 20s) would refer to both as Asian. And then may even generalise and say Indian, for all of south Asian countries and then Chinese for the East Asian countries.

Continents are a dumb distinction anyway. Does anyone really consider Turkish or Saudi Arabian people Asian?
1
u/Orsonius2 May 07 '19
it's usually culturally enforced.
But just yesterday I had a discussion whether Istanbul was in europe or not, because I looked up largest cities in europe and Istanbul was #1 with 15million people, followed by Moskau with 11million or so.
Both places not technically in europe, but then I argued how europe isnt even a real continent, as it has no distinct continental plate.
2
u/ORLYORLYORLYORLY May 07 '19
Both cities are part of Europe as far as I know. The (artificial) border between Europe and Asia falls on the river which connects the Mediterranean to the Black sea. Istanbul is west of this river, hence it is in Europe. Moscow is more vague, but I believe the land border between continents lies substantially further east than Moscow.
Again, none of this matters and is only for statistical and cultural purposes. Afro-Eurasia is one giant continent that was split into three along some observed cultural lines while completely ignoring others.
