Don't blame me. Blame my viewers. That's who asked the question. I just answer them.

[UrKingNgodup]

Leather sucks...Asian girls rock...Red is the best...

[CocoaAndMe]

Yeah red is pretty awesome.

[absolut3destiny]

"Are Asian men more attracted to the color blue or red? Yes." =)

[doctaword]

I don't mind being called oriental.

[brooss]

Even the word "Asian" is problematic next to "White" and "Black." The former is a geographical location, the latter are pigments. We need something like "Yellow" or "Tan" and it would include people from southern Greece, Italy, Spain, Northern Africa, Eastern Africa, Middle East, Mexico, Central/South America, Natives of Alaska, America, Australia, etc. "Yellow" or "Tan" or "Bronze" Americans are a huge group in a democratic system.

A load of shit. Oriental Asian is the term used in China Nepal Japan the Philippines Vietnam and so on. The only place it is considered offensive is in the U.S. we have a saying in Asia ( U.S. Asians are more Asian than Asians ) like Irish-Americans are more Irish than Irish Italian-Americans are more Italian than Italians. All divisive artificial.

Asians are from Asia, the continent. Oriental is a rug.

[lendmeurears]

Yeah in America Asian tends to refer to people of East Asian descent. Though sometimes applied to people of South Asian descent. But not generally to people of Middle Eastern descent.

[optifog]

Do Americans generally not define people from the Indian Subcontinent, Central Asia and the Middle East as Asian, because I've noticed Americans use the word 'Asian' exclusively for South East Asians, and I've never heard it used that way in the UK. Here 'Asian' refers to people descended from the original peoples of any of the continent of Asia. How do Americans classify, say, Bangladeshi Americans and Syrian Americans if not as 'Asian'?
