Definition: of, relating to, or characteristic of the continent of Asia or its people
Example: I am an Asian Ninja Master of the Secret Brotherhood of the Chi. (maybe not the best example but it’s the truth)

So why am I highlighting such an easy and lovely word? Well, in light of all the terror attacks in London, there has been a lot of reference to Asians being arrested. Sure, there may have been incidents of terror attacks in Asia in the past, but generally it is limited to a small amount of extremism (fundamentalism) in the SouthEast…Indo, Phillipines, etc. The rest of Asia is generally full of peace-loving Buddhists…or self-interested Selfists…but regardless, blowing shiznit up is not generally condoned in Asian culture. We much prefer pirating software and making knock offs of small electronic items.

So why are they calling out Asians in the recent bombings?

Wait a sec…Asian does not mean Asian in the UK!!!!!

Interestingly enough, Asian means Indian(and every other ethnicity that looks like Indian) in the UK. If you don’t believe me, take a look at the BBC Asian Network. There is not one true Asian on there!

asian network
Where’s the Asian Network?

I have to say I am mixed on this matter. On one hand, it’s good that Brits do not lump all Asians together with the All Look Same attitude. On the other hand, WTF? Taiwan, Japan, China, and Korea DOMINATE Asia (in that order). If you base it purely on population, China would represent Asia…so how could Asian mean Indian? Something to do with Ghandi and British history?

So what do you call Asians in the UK? Apparently by their country, like Indians(not Native American) in the US. So Korean, Taiwanese, Turning Japanese, etc. It’s all kind of back asswards but I guess irrelevant. It’s just a matter of time before Asians take the word back….and conquer the world. The Chinese invented pasta, you know?

Is Taiwan a country?

I’m pretty sure they think you are from Formosa.

Taiwan/Formosa is the country that is comprised of the upper echelon of China. You can think of Taiwan as the top 5% of the Chinese population.

So much to learn… Bollywood rules the cultural world, one love story at a time.
