Turkey is not asian, we european
I am sure i belong to the eastern eurasian male stock and i agree with this classification.
However I many times feel much more close to northern eurasians including turks than southern eurasians and farthest from sub-saharan africans and afro-asiatic or sizeable part of semitic stock of people.
So when I try to categorise myself exclusively as eastern eurasian i feel a big chunk of northern eurasian, the so called red indians and large section of population of europe and even northern america is being left out from that circle,offcourse geographically they do not belong to east eurasian stock but i think historically there has been deeper connection than with many southern eurasians
8 guess so
0:47 I wish Indigenous Siberians and Central Asians in the US are Asian Americans because they don’t look white as Native Greenlanders as Native Americans
Thanks!
You tried so hard not mentioning racial stereotypes.
People with small eyes are refered as Asians while brownish people but not quite dark are refered as Indians.
Learning about asian as asian on this channel make me ponder upon massive diversity we all have as a group as people heck we have different languages, culture, beliefs despite having distant relation can we consider as "same" people. Then i remember the most defining trait of every single asian ever. RICE If you grow up with rice and cannot live without rice you're definitely asian for sure. Actually it much simpler than that lol, since rice always been staple food for most of the people in Asia.
I rather preferred to be called Indian rather than asian
All country in Asia map is asia but In media they say "we travel to middle each country" , "try middle east food" they don't say "asian" but when they talk about south east, east asian they would say "asian"
Is not even debatable. If you are not from East Asia, you are not Asian.
Arab and Persian are not Asian or part of Asia. They are there own distinct ethnic group. There is no one in the Middle East who identify as Asian. They all identify as Muslim first, everything else is secondary.
One of the WORST uneducated CHANNELS I have EVER SEEN. Iranic peoples are not a monolithic group with a single set of DNA, but a combination of many different makeups from thousands of years living in the Caucuses, Central Asia and Eastern Europe. These include the Iranic groups like the Scythians, Saka, Sogdians, Sarmatians, Parthians, Persians, etc!
To claim Afghans are unrelated to Iranians is a COMPLETE and UTTER worthless opinion. Afghans are as much an Iranic people as many Iranians.
Regarding your comment about Azari people sometimes being referred to as Iranian is EXTREMELY dumb. Azari people have been apart of Iran for 2500 years since Zoroastrian times, if they are not considered Iranian then nobody is.
– SIGNED Green eyed Lur from Iran who gets mistaken for Afghan or Tajik all the time
Thank you for your work.
In the UK 🇬🇧 when people say Asian they usually mean Indian and Pakistani instead of Chinese, Japanese and Korean which would baffle people from many countries including the US 🇺🇸. But I still think of the American definition of “asian” when I hear the word even though I’m British and I live in the UK.
Asian should not be angry against western….where the same as them… for me white people are all american..
haha Everyone thinks We're Indians but we're Bangalis we do have similiar face maybe but our culture and everything is diff
we wear clothes like Burmese people
i'm indonesian with Chinese face but with Indian gods name
I’m from the Middle East and i know that it is asian since it is part of asia
East Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia(except India) are Mongoloid race or Asian. India is not Asia but it is Africa. Most Indians look like Africans.
As an Indian, I never know if I can call myself an Asian
I have always wondered if Iraqis or Iranians consider themselves as asian
Even though they have basically no connection with East Asians, they will sees themselves as a proud yellow for their East Asian supremacy and they will mix with East Asians so China will take over the world
As just the indo Europeans Central Asians were conquered by the Mongols and Turks, the Altaic north Asians were conquered by the slave”
In other words, what comes around goes around
As a West Asian, I love seeing the shock on White people’s faces when I tell them I am Asian
But south Asians can only grow a beard
america moment
Those who says Middle Eastern, South asians are not Asians are those who says AFGHANS and PAKISTANIS are MIDDLE EASTERNS and IRAN and AFGHANISTAN are ARAB countries..
Just wondering because I never really understood what race I am so if I am Armenian and Persian does that mean I'm west Asian?
Wtf 😩 , now west wanna break Asia now, just look at India broke into 2 , and made us enemies for life now you wanna break Asia,so we fight each other so that ypu can benefit from our misery & not to mention useless lectures on peace .
Ironically, continents are named by Greek convention. "Asia" as a concept is so European. From a human stand point, it would be so easy to move from Africa to Europe and Asia. The land there is continuous. These identities are really political, very.
All the country in Asia people are considered as asains its not only (korea , japan , china ) like dude
In china, anything that is on the left of china is not considered “real” asian, anything that is below to the right and to the right of Asia is “real” asian
I am a singaporean chinese and i agree with you on how we classify them
I’m china
Us Indians are just as Asian as are chinease brothers
I'm a Bangladeshi and I'm proud to
be an Asian period. 🇧🇩
From Asia the most distinct and interesting race is Mongols from Central Asia from Mongolia Altai mountains Siberia through to Central Asia.
Asia is literally countries in the continent, and if u think asia consists of just japan, korea or china and all of countries more to the east side, then u and ur dumba$$ uneducated brain can fvck off 🙂
Just Japan and China and most of them are spies for the British mafia
Sub-Saharan is just as stupid as all the racial classifications. Non-Africans don't decide who is African and who is not.
