Quote from DamnImGood: “Sorry, my bad, for some reason I read west. But I never said race, ethnicity or origin. Well, origin is open to interpretation. Are you referring to origin as in, "where my people came from", as in "I am from Canada"?. I'm solely talking about when someone meets someone new and asks, "Where are you from?" That's all I've ever meant since I started in this thread. You're going to get a nation as an answer, not a continent.” Indians are South Asian, not West Asian. West Asi…

Quote from DamnImGood: “That doesn't make any sense. Why would anyone do that? They either do it on purpose or they've misunderstood the question. As I've said before, I work in a very multicultural environment, where I'd say the Indian population far surpasses anything else, and [I've never, not even once, heard someone say they're from Asia when asked where they're from. And yes, I've asked several because I try to socialize when I'm working on someone's computer (I'm a computer tech). Every t…

I don't know and I don't really care.

Quote from DamnImGood: “No, that's not what I meant at all. I just simply said you never hear people refer to their continent when asked where they're from. That's all. Anything else was either misinterpreted or misread. Of course it's dumb when other people do it, but if I see a person walking down the street who looks Chinese, I can either guess their nationality, or just say they're Asian. Unless I approach and ask, I would never know.” Well that's not entirely true either. Many East Asians i…

Quote from DamnImGood: “I said people who refer to themselves by their continent, not calling other people by their continent.” What's the difference? It's stupid if it use it for yourself, but not stupid when other morons use it to describe you?

Quote from CashMoney: “Just cause life is hell doesn't mean that I want to end it. There's so many things to enjoy.” So then life isn't exactly hell. Edit: And LOL @ the bitter ugly emo who neg repped for asking that above.

Quote from CashMoney: “Why don't you kill yourself? You'll go into Abraham's bosom.” Why would I kill myself? I wasn't the one who suggested that we live in hell and would be in heaven after death. And Abraham? I'm not a Muslim, Christian or Jew so that was random.

So why don't you guys kill yourselves? You'll be escaping hell, right?

Quote from BadaBing: “That's not entirely true. I think its mroe than people now can afford to get a divorce. Like during ww2 and before people would not have been able to afford to buy a new house or a flat or anything now they can.” I don't think so. People can afford to divorce in eastern countries like Japan, but I don't see divorce rates there as high as they are in western countries. Financial freedom (for women especially) might be part of the reason why people are more willing to divorce…

Quote from DamnImGood: “No I didn't. Please quote me saying this.” On this page you claimed that you have never heard anybody use a continent to refer to their own or somebody's else ethnicity or origin, but you acknowledged it on a previous page. Quote from DamnImGood: “Quote from Pickles: “I also dont understand the whole thing in America about calling anyone from an Oriental nation Asian..fair enough they are from Asia but you could address the person from their native area..so Chinese..Indon…

Quote from BadaBing: “Tbh I don't know why people get marrried, nearly ever marriage I have seen recently including my parents have all ended in divorce. Marriage is way overrated.” Marriages in western countries have high failure rates because people get married for the wrong reasons.

I'm a liberal, so let them get married as long as they don't bother me.

LOL @ the person who neg repped me for saying they're obese.

Quote from DamnImGood: “Where have I said this?” Previously in this thread when we talked about who calls themselves "Asian." Quote from DamnImGood: “I think it does.” I don't think so. Quote from DamnImGood: “Sorry, but if someone is of "light skin" they're certainly not black, even if they come from a black family. What else would you call them? Black? Dude if they're not black then they're... not black. The term "mixed" is used a lot, but as I've said previously, it's open to interpretation.”…

No.

It just came up lol. Quote from CashMoney: “And they show asians in the UK?” Yes, it's about a British Asian girl. Unless you mean specifically East Asians in the UK?

Quote from CashMoney: “What does beckham have to do with it? And oh.” Bend It Like Beckham was a British movie. Bend It Like Beckham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote from CashMoney: “I've never seen a picture with an Asian person in the UK.” Bend It Like Beckham? "Asian" in the UK refers to South Asians. British Asian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote from DamnImGood: “I've never known anyone, of any nationality, ethnicity, race, language, etc. to use their continent when asked where they're from. It doesn't make any sense. People who do that are either dumb, or they answered that on purpose for some other reason.” But you said yourself that you know East Asians who say they're "Asian" when asking about their ethnicity or origin, so you obviously do know people who do that.
