why do asians never cosider indians asians?
ok thai r considered asian. chineese r consider asians. fillipino is cosidered asian. japaneese are cosidered asian. and koreans r considered asian. so why do these ppl never cosider indians asians for. iam indian. and iam just indian or middle eastren. i have noticed when ppl refer afgans indians pakistanies and bangladeshies we are all considered middle eastren. but the middle east is not contenent it is a part of asia. and where islam is mainly praticed. when ppl say where iam from i say iam asian. but they always go no your not ur not asian. but india is in the contenet asia so therfour were asians. there was this dumm person i meet who thought india was an african country. but mainly when i come across the asians i have described they always say ur not asian. here is why i think were not cosider asian. indians are dark other asians arent dark. other asians have big eyes we have big noses. other asians are buddists. indians are a mixture of islam christianity sikisim and hiduisim. indians are relley hairey i have to admit. and other asians arent as hairey. and our culture is completally different is well we speak punjabi. i dont know what they speak. we were turbans and srres. and they were those long chineese like robes. we are completeally different but we are still in the contenent asia and we to should be considered asian. and mainly becuse i want to score with thai and chinnese chicks LOL.

I consider them asian.
I dont because they are not Mongoloid like us. They are Caucasians like Crackers.
They disgrace our race and don't even belong with us.
They are not our Pure Asian Race
most asian I know consider indians asian. i think the person who say you are african don't know much about indian and just group all people with dark skin as african. in thailand. there are a lot of indians too and 83 percent of thai people in southern are muslims - this isn't included other muslim people in other parts of thailand yet. I can show you a pictures of thai people who look indians and have dark complexion as indians. I have seen them in kanjanaburi ( in the west of thailand) their native people can easily pass for indian because they have dark complexion and very large eyes, double eyelids and hoo nose - many thai people I know accept their traditional costumes, culture, foods and languages are ifluented by indians. many of a formal thai words are derived from indian language. for example, india call moon "Jaan". thai call moon "Jan" and pretty much many words. - thai people are not 100 percent buddhist. and don't orget buddha isn't asian. he is indian and indian people mostly accept him as one of hindus god just like shiva, naraya, krishna etc. I believe thais are more hidus than buddist because all of them also worship shiva, kanesha, Uma Devi and Brahmin god and goddess. they have those statues at the front of their offices and houses but they also worship buddha in the same time. - many of important families in thailand could trade back to middle east, iranian and turkic roots. for example, "Boonnak family" this last name was gave to the ambassador of sultan ottoman from turkey by the king of thailand 400 years ago ( boon means merit in indian language and nak means big snake in indian language). although some people using this lastname present day may not look like turk or iranian anymore but they still can tell you that they have turkic or iranian blood - this is just an example, there are more of a foreigner using thai lastname that and living in thailand and mix with a local people.
- I think lately, a korean and japanese media have taken over thai media. many teenegers no longer interested in their traditional culture.
Because they live in a subcontinent and look different from most Eastern Asians.
I think they are prettier.
truth be told they are ashamed to call you asian because you look so different from them.
but no matter what they think every one knows your asian
Your asian and regular people are morons.
You're Asian by geography.
You're Caucasian by race.
Plain and Simple.
uumm, maybe because they dont have the asian eyes... and the religion is also different, most asians are buddhist, confucian, christian, and catholic....
