Yeah I get bothered slightly by that too. Generally we south asian people aren't considered "asian" because that term seems to be unique to just southeastern asia. At least here in western society.

What bothers me the more is when people come up to me and ask me if I speak "Indian." But that isn't really being racist, just ignorant, so I don't snap back. I just roll my eyes just in my mind and educate them.

what about middle easterners? we're technically asian too, but people just give me an incredulous look when i try to explain that to them.

Being a handsome, well-built, modest, humble man who's 6'5" 260lbs of "warm complexion" I've heard my fair share of comments, none that I'll share here, I'm sure we all know what they can be.

Some are actually kinda cleaver, and I find myself saying "damn, that was funny... but I can't laugh..."

Believe me, you did the right thing by just talking to them. Sometimes an *** whopping does more harm than good; but it can be hard to control the urge.

I heard someone say the word "ninja" the other day, I could have sworn they said.....

LOL you serious? They're probably more afraid of the racial back lash and the "i'm a victim" role that African Americans are notorious for. Where is Jesse Jackson at? LOL. I'm not going to front and say that I don't know that it is rough being black, but Asians are one of the most ballsy people out there when it comes to the hardcore. Look up any of the craziest gangs an you'll see what I mean. Anyways, this is all besides the point of what happened to the OP

I grew up & lived in So Cal for 30 yrs and dealt with rude obnoxiuos comments my whole life. I moved out here to texas 11 years ago and actually found this area to be much more pleasant to live in. The people here are very polite and courteous. A big surprise for me !

I think you are going to get stupid ignorant people where ever you live. I just hope that your & anyone else's encounters are minimal.

I'm just letting any of you socal members that may know who I am know that I will be moving to Arizona at the end of the month. I was going to move in August but plans changed and I decided to move out on July 2nd. I wanted to go the the July LAX meet (if there is going to be one since it's the 4th of July) but it looks like I won't be able to make it. I will be back periodically and will try to make any socal meets since I have my family and friends out here. Hopefully I will have an FI'd Z soon after though so I can get back to Cali quicker.

Ok, but only because you asked to hear it. I don't want to get any crap about this, its just a joke.

Do people in Sri Lanka take baths or showers?

Neither, they just wash up on shore.
