You are right! My bad
.
hehe..no worries..just that I am South Asian but grew up in South-East Asia so like to differentiate the two..makes it that much more interesting
Mercury,
North America : Asians = Orientals
Uk : Asians = South Asians
But, Asians = South Asians, Middle-Eastern, Oriental, South-East Asians..etc..funny isn't it..
but I guess it's the same deal with the term Americans..technically it also includes South Americans, Mexicans, Canadians, but almost always refers to only people from the US...
Cheers

I think it is pretty stupid when canadians refer themselves to North Americans and insist on being just the same as US.
The two countries are very diff. Canadians are canadians why do they like calling themselves "North Americans". Just like you are an Indian and you refer to yourself more as Indian rather than asian.
I think there mentally to be just like USA sucks and they have lost their originality in dooing so and they are not even a good enough copy of US if at all.
actually neha, i dont quite mind the north american part.....but south asian?!? now that's kinda wired... i wudnt mind being indian but i guess ppl here generalise a lot.
