Are indians asian or not??

[Negah]

No, but they all come from the continent of Asia so in theory they are all Asians.

The idea of Asia as a homogenous region is poorly developed due to its vast and fractured geography. Different regions have historically developed independently of each other, resulting in a lack of homogeneity until perhaps in recent times to an extent.

East Asians don't really view Indians as Asians.

True, I agree. The same can be said of Africa and even the Americas (North & South) too.
Are North Africans not African? They are different from Sub-Saharan Africans too.
The same can be said of Native Americans from North America (US & Canada) V.S Native Americans from South America (Amazon, Argentina and other countries n Central & South America).

You have a stronger argument saying southern amerindians and northern amerindians can be grouped together then say indians are chinese

Put a little more effort into trolling, okay? Like start typing longer responses, those are interesting, don't use ChatGPT or anything though. Your short messages are just lazy and not worth the thread bumps you get out of them

Where did you see me saying Indians are Chinese? I said Indians are Asians.

You are confusing Chinese with the term Asian.

[Andullero]

How do we define them??

Would you consider Native americans more asian then them?

They are Asian, but not Mongoloid. The problem that I see here is that for you Yanks, Asian = Mong and African = Sub-Saharan/Bantu/Congoid etc.

People like using the term asian to racially group indians with mongoloids.
Creepy indian men like using the asian term to shield them when they act on their creepy asian fetish tendancies.
