Do you mean Chinese/Korean/Japanese people (which is what 'Asians' generally refers to in the US), Indian/Pakistani/Bengali people (which is what 'Asians' means in the UK) or just Asian people more generally? :)

Let's do it. I've worked with many Asian people at my first job, and they've been a great pleasure to have known. I also like the food from many Asian countires. :D

I think you're amazing. 8)

I'm part Chinese and have a pretty healthy (read fat) ego, so yeah, I like this idea!

I'm supposedly Asian if you go back 1000 years. Does that earn me any appreciation? :lol:
I definitely agree on the food thing. Asian food is way better than western food IMO.

I already have the title of "honorary asian" given to me by some of my former asian school students/friends. 8)

I love many asian cultures.... Indonesian, Vietnamese and Japanese specifically.

I love Korean soap operas and Taiwanese boy bands hahaha

I eat, cook and love Japanese food.

I love most Vietnamese food too, but don't know as much about it as I do Japanese.

I like this thread.
