Link? First time I've heard about this..

The last thing I want to hear in this thread is about how Indian people should be considered "Asian" because they're part of the continent.

You know what Asian means, so answer the poll appropriately and don't be so PC.

Geographically, they are. They're not Mongoloid, though.

So what are you? So you look Asian but are not? Hmmm. Also, to the OP, what is your definition of Asian? Asia is vast and stretches from Russia to the Phillipines. The perception of most people is that Asians look a certain way and come from certain countries. Are you talking about people who appear Asian or are actually Asian by continent?
