EPTNot all black people are african americans so when referring to a black person that you do not know black is more suitable. That being said I wouldn't refer to an asian person as yellow because they don't look yellow, asians look asian and indians look indian.

And as for Asians, yellow is used amongst people that don't distinguish Korean, Japanese, Chinese and others. I would think that most people on this site know the differences. So using the term yellow is a little bit ignorant. | ||

Lacking a common culture, religion or value system, "Asian" only has meaning insofar as it denotes a geographical location. Saying something is "oriental" or "yellow" possesses perhaps some residual connotations- for "tyrannical," "regimented," or "treacherous," in the Western vernacular, but beyond this, I've never found it necessary to refer to "Asians" as a whole. It's kinda like saying "North American". Sometimes it is necessary. On December 12 2008 22:25 HnR)hT wrote: He's probably not Russian. I think his nickname is a reflection of Western ignorance/propaganda about the Great Patriotic War. It's a play on "zerg rushing". I'm Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Okinawan, Dutch, Irish, Welsch and Native American. | ||

No, that would mean humanity as a whole would actually progress for a change rather than creating 6 page+ forum threads debating in cyclical fashion that does no good for anyone. You're not....CRAZY are you? | ||

It was an awkward moment; He assumed I knew what it meant, and assumed I was asking what it meant just to gain an edge in the exchange. So naturally, he did his best to appear as if he knew what I was supposedly trying to do... UrbanDictionary.com wasn't around at the time so I didn't know what the hell he was getting at until I asked a fellow gook friend about it. So in the end, since we still never really use it, I normally refer to gooks and myself as chinks. (Edit: Fixed colour tags!) | ||
