WHAT YOU SAY

Indians & Pakis are fine with me,

As an AA male, I feel close to Indians and Pakis, etc as they are also Asians. I think some of the women are quite attractive.

I have a close friend who's a British Pakistani. He tells me Paki-Brit women are sell-outs just like the Asian girls here in the US. I wonder if thats true? Probably.

2: Chinese man who loves indian girls,
Indian movies are filled with attractive girls ( aishwarya rai, sonali bendre, madhuri dixit, ameesha patel, and the list goes on and on),
I have NOT seen that many attractive indian males, therefore, i think indian girls are not that reluctant to be attracted to men of any other race esp. those of east asian descent becuz its not exactly too far out of their race (hey we r all asian!) open minded indian girls are all around you...just open YOUR eyes!!....and try to get to know a little bit about their culture...u will be surprised how many will come to you...

Thinker...

The Nazi Aryans also hijacked our good symbol, the swastika.

"It's not like the white man would see you guys as fellow "Aryans or whites" anyways.It's not like the white man would see you guys as fellow "Aryans or whites" anyways. That is why other Asians sometimes are skeptical of including the Indo-Pakistani and Middle Easterners as "Asians." Because, you guys try to pass for white sometimes. "

You are absolutely right. Most think that I am African-American especially when I shave my head. These days with all the anti-Middle Easter and anti-South Asian feelings, being an African American may be a plus. Why just talk about the white man...white women are even worse.

"Our ancestors met, traded and even mixed on the old Silk Road."...

...I must add, when most of the Anglo-Saxons were living up the trees and in the caves practicing human sacrifice.

"If we can include Filipinos or Eskimos, whom we Chinese had minimal or no contact with, then we might as well include Indians, Pakistanis and Persians"

I thought the Chinese had settled in the Philippines for a long time.

"Heck, even Russians want to be part of Asia too although the average Russian on the street identifies with Europe."

They are members of the Asia Pacific Economoic Cooperation Forum (APEC) although that organization is not going anywhere anytime soon!!

"Let's face it, the West will never accept the Indians, Pakistanis and Persians."

Depends on what you call the west. If you refer to the white man as west, your argument is correct. However, if you are referring to Americans, the minorities are fast becoming majorities in a number of states. So, we are part of the west.

"We should accept them because they are intertwined with Chinese civ. which in turn intertwines with the rest of Asian civ."

Perhaps if we Asian Americans form an alliance with Hispanics and blacks and go out and vote, we will control in part, the American destiny. But, what do we do? Blacks do not like Hispanics and vice versa and they end up voting for the white mayor of LA, Mr. Hahn.
Race relations would improve when the whites become a minority at least here in Texas!!

I have seen lots of Indian movies and absolutely love the features of Indian women. I find we have many similar vegetable dishes. Chinese guys are nicer than the rude Arabic ones. But, they Indian girls are hard to date because of some restrictions on their culture or something? Especially the Hindu ones. What do they think of East Asian men? I only went out once with a Muslim Punjabi girl, but it was in university. Where and how can we meet open minded Indian girls, Pakistani, Sikh, etc.?

Indo/Pakistani/Pashto brothers,

It's not like the white man would see you guys as fellow "Aryans or whites" anyways. That is why other Asians sometimes are skeptical of including the Indo-Pakistani and Middle Easterners as "Asians." Because, you guys try to pass for white sometimes. I am Chinese (Chini bhani, Chinese brother) and the Chinese, Indians and Persians are the oldest civilizations on this earth. If we are to identify as a cluster, we undoubtedly are more alike than not alike. We have the same values and similar outlooks. Our ancestors met, traded and even mixed on the old Silk Road. If we Chinese are to identify with any others, it is above and beyond with the Indo-Persian cultures. If we can include Filipinos or Eskimos, whom we Chinese had minimal or no contact with, then we might as well include Indians, Pakistanis and Persians. Heck, even Russians want to be part of Asia too although the average Russian on the street identifies with Europe. Let's face it, the West will never accept the Indians, Pakistanis and Persians. We should accept them because they are intertwined with Chinese civ. which in turn intertwines with the rest of Asian civ.
