I didn't say any such thing, you are just pissed off that some Asians get called out on their racism, which incidentally is against other Asians. Hypocrisy is how the MidEast, South and East Asia excoriate the West on its racism but ignore or sweep under the rug their own racism , which is worse.
Also how in the holy eff did you conjure up the notion I am in favor of discrimination against E. Indians.
The designer is from NZ, so no reason to assume she is going by purely American notions of what "Asian" denotes. And even if she did, East Indians do get classified as "Asian" in the US. The vast majority of government forms I have seen does not have a separate South Asian category. The Asian American NGO in the US includes South Asians.
If an East Indian designer were to feature only South Asian models, as a proactive means of getting Westerners to recognize diversity of South Asians but did not include the indigenous phenotype South Asians, then I would do the same thing, i.e. point out the racial bias of the designer.
Listen bud, you know you said it and I know you said it. I'm gonna let you save some face here and not dig up the post because:
A) I don't like snooping around in other peoples profiles. But if you keep insisting on denying it and give me permission to check post history, I can find it in a few minutes, I even remember the thread topic.
B) It sounds to me your already a bit embarrased by what you wrote, hopefully you've learned from it and change your racist attitude.
And no generally speaking Asians from Asia do not ''excoriate'' the west for racism, for the most part they are ignorant to things going on in America, its not even on their radar. What you're likely referring to and evident by your past racist posts is you don't like it when Asian
Americans complain about racism against them because Asian nations are racist. This is racist for several reasons, you don't see them as Americans because of their race and physical appearance. They may have been born here and have nothing to do with Asia yet you only see the race, the color. Thats racist.
Only in the UK do they specifically use the term asian to refer to south asians, NZ uses more similar terms as the rest of the english speaking world and Asian 99% of the time refers to East Asians.
If your co-worker came up to you and said we hired a new employee and you asked for a description, and she said; Asian woman with short hair. What comes to your fucking mind, its not an Indian woman for 99% of the western world, they're going to picture an east asian so cut the crap.
We never asked for the specific term, it was given to us. And its irrelevant whether the official classification is asian for indians. Russians are asian too then, so are middle easterners. Why aren't you complaining about the lack of Siberians? or Iranians?
In Asian languages we have our own separate words to describe the racial expression of East Asian/Mongoloid type peoples and the geographical expression of Asia the continent, so this problem and confusion doesn't occur. Back in the day they used the word Oriental to differentiate but thats not PC anymore. So the problem is really the english language itself and how the majority perceives the meaning of words like Asian. So come up with new words and make people use them, or else stupid arguments like this keep coming up.
