Thank you.

Nothing like an "Asian" thread to get everyone riled up again.

um, whatever. its just an accurate adjective.

by the way- youll never hear a white person describing their ethnicity as American. but my asian friends describe white people as "Americans" and asians (2nd or 3rd generation, born/bred in the U.S.) as asians.

There are two types of white people I normally come across.

Most - describe their ethnicity as American. Yes, you heard me.
Some - feel that American is not special enough and despite them being 5th generation (or some really large number) they want to be more special so they answer in a way that resembles the following manner - I am part Irish, Dutch, French, Greek, and oh yeah (they love this part) 1% Native American Indian.

I call myself white. It is easier than caucasion.

Would a white person born/living in Japan be considered Japanese?

I hate being called Caucasian, because I didn't come from Caucasia.

I don't think anyone would care since you would be 1 in a million haha. like a rare thing in society. I'm not japanese but i'm really into japanese culture. whats driving us all crazy is that we are either too proud of ourselves or envy others too much

Why is it that when a white person is born in America, they're automatically Americans, but a yellow person born in America is still called "Asian"?

This is true even if they've never even been to Asia, may be 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th generation, don't know anything about Asia or the Asian culture.

No matter how many generations an Asian's family has been in the US they will never really look like the majority.

if an asian person called themself american

they would get laughed at...

(i live in OC)

An easy answer for the Op is everyone is acustomed(sp) that way. We are all used to it. Be glad you're not refered to as a color like white and black people lol
