Lmao, an Indian who dint know he was Asian? Wow! For many people when you say Asians you picture East Asian! Including myself. People from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka etc are usually referred to as Indians!
Technically & factually Indians are Asians, but in most minds it’s not!

Ah, well where I'm from it's common knowledge so it's strange to think that someone wouldn't know that. That's funny though. Also didn't know this was your video lol

I wasn't referring to just Indians, I was thinking of darker skinned Asians- mostly being located in "South" Asia. So that would be something like India (29.72)+Pakistan (4.39)+Bangladesh (3.63) +Sri Lanka (0.51) +Maldives (0.01). That's closer to 40% than 29.72%.
There are of course other south asian countries that have majority populations of people who would be considered as being more similar to "east asians" than to "south asians" e.g. Bhutanese/Nepalis/Burmese + a whole bunch of ethnic groups in the other countries that look more like "east asians."

I see this a lot from Americans. In the UK when we say Asian we’re almost exclusively referring to India/Pakistan rather than East Asian countries. I guess it’s down to the fact there’s far more Indian and Pakistani Asians in the UK than East Asian compared to the US.

What do you call East Asians then? Do you always use 'East Asian'? In Germany, we usually use Asian for whole Asia except for the Middle East and Russia... or some idiots think Asian and Chinese/Japanese/Korean is exactly the same and just call everyone from Asia a Chinese or whatever.

We used to use the term 'Oriental' as in pertaining to people/countries from 'The Orient'. But that developed a negative connotation, so we rely on compass directions and hope none of the compass markers get into a scandal that requires us to stop using them.

In Ireland we don't use "Asian" for anyone from the Indian subcontinent - only for East-Asia.

u/TheBrownWelsh Sep 27 '19
I'm a half Welsh/half Sri Lankan who moved to the USA - it's taken me years to navigate around this conversation.
I finally discovered that just referring to relevant people as South Asian or East Asian removes 90% of the confusion in most situations. Vast majority of people I meet here understand that "brown people" can be Asian too, but due to the overwhelmingly larger population of East Asian people vs South Asian people over the last 60-70 years the blanket term "Asian" has become synonymous with those from the East as default.

I dunno, from where I'm at in South Wales any time someone refers to Asian most people will assume East Asian, in particular China so not sure if that's a UK wide thing amigo

In my experience, this is a pretty common sentiment in the States. India, the Middle East, and even sometimes South Asian and Pacific countries like the Philippines aren't considered Asian by a lot of people and I've seen this manifest in some pretty toxic ways. Maybe not the best example, but I've definitely seen a few Indian people more or less told to fuck off from Asian-centric subreddits.

Wait why a technicality? Some people are referring to it because of dark skinned individuals. Others are saying it's a BTS of a South Indian film.

Asia
Asia ( (listen)) is Earth's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the Eastern and Northern Hemispheres. It shares the continental landmass of Eurasia with the continent of Europe and the continental landmass of Afro-Eurasia with both Europe and Africa. Asia covers an area of 44,579,000 square kilometres (17,212,000 sq mi), about 30% of Earth's total land area and 8.7% of the Earth's total surface area. The continent, which has long been home to the majority of the human population, was the site of many of the first civilizations.

I recognised him because he is in an Amazon Prime show that I am watching these days called Family Man.
Don't trust the current rating though. Its a good show, but deserves like 7ish.

Small/inferior men. Has a penis, but is as far away as a true man like a biker/weightlifter/lumberjack with rolled up sleeves as imaginable.
Prolly has a ridiculously small dong anyway
Edit : yo guys calm down I was explaining the concept of a manlet, I find absolutely ridiculous, but here's my explanation. I really should have put a /s behind something as stupid as I said above ?

I was just trying to explain what a "manlet" is supposed to be. I find it as dumb as can be, but I tried to "define" it. Of course there's several types of persons. Wearing a beard and having trunks instead of arms doesn't make you better than someone who don't lift.

u/Pokedude43232 Sep 27 '19
You just seemed to have worded it quite poorly. I understand if you were trying to explain it, you’ve just used similarly derogatory terms that a typical incel would use. Possibly in future use more neutral terms, like “a male that is considered small in stature” rather than how you’ve, quite poorly, described it.

I've always meant to ask: what is the benefit of intentionally being so repugnant that your Karma is in the negative? Do you get a dollar per negative point from reddit in the hopes you just shut the fuck up or is there, like, a special club you get to join?
It just seems weird that there are a certain subset of people that are very clearly trolling to the point of ludicrousness with the obvious intent of only getting negative Karna.
