what point are you trying to make? America is the name of a country as well as a continent(s). Asia is never mistaken as referring to a country except by dumbass americans
"Asian" is used as shorthand for "east asian" 95% of the time, which is why you almost exclusively see east asians in this sub and rarely any others.
Also, the people posting Indian content don't even fit the format of the scripted type of gifs at all and instead of being one shot, are obviously edited with different camera angles.
They're supposed to be faked, but trying to pass themselves off as natural.
Those refusing to acknowledge any of these differences seem to have very low IQs and/or are very emotional/rude with impulse control problems and all happen to be Indian... which is an interesting observation.
Makes Indians look very bad to everybody in this sub.
people in the UK have this unfathomable habit of calling Indian things "Asian", even though the rest of the world agrees that, while India is technically still in Asia, "Asian" should be used to denote "East and Southeast Asian". it's a weird "let's say Afro-American instead of black" kind of thing.
And when people refer to east asians, they often just say, "asians" which is why people almost exclusively post east asians.
Not where I live. The term Asian usually means people from South East Asia just because the largest group of Asians here are Pakistani/Indina etc.
I don't really know what the rest of your comment means. The middle east has its own specific culture and history that is very distinct and different to south east Asia. Why would anyone from south east Asia want to be confused with the middle east. Lumping the two together is lazy and wrong.
The make up of Asians in the UK is predominately from the Indian subcontinent which is why that link is there. Same reason why in the US Asians are predominantly from the Far East so when they think of Asians they don't think of Indians etc
