Stori 416 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Once, I was talking to two of my friends and when I told them that I was technically Asian American (I'm Bengali, but I was born in the USA), they told me I was lying and didn't know what the heck I was talking about. Um...I'm pretty sure India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are a part of Asia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTfans 1,881 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Asian American means east asian or SEA in America pretty much. Indians and others usually aren't included when talking casually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicon soul 19,457 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Asian in UK mainly refers to south Asians (Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian etc). East Asians are referred to as, well, east Asians lol or more often their specific nationality (Chinese, Japanese, Thai etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
