kangyoo:
indians are not asians..
the joke was good LOL
Geographically, India is located in South Asia, and Indians are therefore considered Asians. However, in some contexts, especially in Western countries, "Asian" is often used to refer specifically to people from East Asia (like China, Japan, Korea, etc.). This narrower usage can lead to confusion or the belief that Indians are not Asians.
The statement might be attempting to distinguish Indians from the East Asian identity often associated with the term "Asian" in certain contexts. However, it's important to recognize that Asia is a vast continent with diverse cultures, ethnicities, and regions, and Indians are indeed part of the Asian continent.
Asia is commonly divided into several regions based on geographical, cultural, and historical factors. The exact number of regions can vary depending on the classification system used, but a common division is into six main regions:
East Asia: Includes China, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Southeast Asia: Includes countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), Brunei, and East Timor.
South Asia: Includes India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives.
Central Asia: Includes Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
West Asia (also known as the Middle East): Includes countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, and the Gulf States (such as the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman). Sometimes Cyprus is also included in this region.
North Asia: Generally refers to the Asian part of Russia, including Siberia.
These divisions are based on various factors such as geography, culture, history, and sometimes politics.
Do research before saying anything, nowadays it is the age of internet through which you can get information easily.
