Is Indian considered Asian?
 

I keep getting Indian galleries submitted to my Asian TGP.

Is Indian not Asian, or am I wrong for rejecting them?

Bill

Yes they are if you don't have an Indian category.

Ah, Ok.

I don't have an Indian category, so I guess I should add one?
I thought Asian was just Oriental, but I guess that's why the word 'Oriental' exists - lol!

I'm just so worldly.... not!

Bill

Asian or Indian
 

OK... I'll explain for those not in the UK or India :)

In the States Asian refers to Chinese, Thai etc.

In the UK and and to those in India Asian refers to them. In the UK most Indians call themselves Asian and this is where the mix up happens... We call Thai's etc, Oriental

So it is best to have an Indian niche/category for your TGP. I'd like to thank a couple of the major tgp/links guys who actually created this for me and my sites in the recent past :) I'm also the one who got Adult Check and Age Check as they were back in 2000/01 to create an Indian category as I was fed up with my sites going under Asian back then :)

In the U.S., Indians wear feather head
dresses and scalp the white man when their casino profits are low.

U guys over the pond call Asian Indians "East Indians" to them that is an insult as East Indian is Bangladesh to them...

You are so right on that. :D

I have a few Indian friends and they don't really like being called Indian. Native Americans is preferred and does make more sense.

Then again my tranny friends don't really like being called trannies and one of them is a Native American so to be PC they would be a Native American T-Girl.

Fuck it's hard to remember all this…

American Indians were originally called that because Columbus thought he landed in the Indies.

Bill

I'm still just a mutt…

Last time I looked at a globe, India was in Asia :D

That's not true. We call them 'Gas Station Owners'. I don't think I've ever heard anyone called East Indians. Sounds like a farm league baseball team.

Why is it
 

That what ever I say you arseholes have to argue or try and make smart arse remarks !!!

How many of you have met an Asian Indian ? I got in to this business after spending 8 years with an Asian Indian girlfriend who came to the UK from Calcutta. I have only worked with Indian models since I entered the industry. If anyone reading this is in the UK, they can confirm I was even featured in a documentary this week on our tv channel 4 about Sahara and her not only being an Anglo Indian but also being a Muslim..

Once more you dumb Yanks have to try and be clever... Most of you haven't even left your own city or state and seen any other part of the world.. Yet you think you know it all..

God you piss me off..

I can say arrogantly that if wasn't for me, the Indian niche wouldn't be what it is.... So you loud mouthed retards learn from one who knows what he's talking about... The guy asked a question and my EXPERT answer is YES HAVE A CATEGORY FOR INDIAN !!!!

If you didn't read this article about me before read it now and shut the f**k up !!!! Scroll down to the heading " Webmaster Masters the Elusive Indian Porn Niche" http://www.ynot.com/modules.php?op=m...rder=0&thold=0

Another intelligent rant from hot head JoeA.

Cleo I may be a hot head but at least I know what I'm talking about unlike 99% of the others in this thread... As usual I have to add :)

My last post was aimed at "Useless" a name I think very apt, going by his comment to mine about Anglo Indians !!

Any way... Why stick your nose in ? Can't Useless make a bigger arse of himself on his own..

I love you guys because you think you know it all.. Get on a plane.... I promise you that when you leave US air space, you won't fall off the edge of the world !!!

Does somebody need a hug?

I also have never heard anyone in the US use the term "East Indian." I've heard a lot of folks in the UK use the term "Red Indian" to refer to native North Americans, and while I don't think it's intended as offensive, I don't think it would go over terribly well here.

Can't we all just get along?

Jezus Christ (fictional person), Tortus only wanted to know if Indian was considered Asian or not.

... nah, I had my own rant in mind but I'll spare you all of that.

Middle Eastern is usually what I hear people called where I live who are from places like India.

Gee. You're so smart! But again, I've never heard anyone anywhere refer to an Indian as an East Indian. But you'd know better than me about what I've experienced. Wouldn't you?
Wow. Never, ever, ever heard that one before. Almost brought a tear to my eye. I didn't realize that someone could possibly take the word 'useless' and spin it against me. I sit in awe.
Well of course I can Joe! But I don't believe I was making an ass of myself. My comments were an attempt at humor, which apparently whooshed right by you and your big-ass brain.
Yes Joe, you've got us all pegged. If only we could all be as enlightened and as worldly as you. But we can't all be cocksuckers, now can we? Some of us just have to have big ol' dangling cocks in order for people like you to exist.

Good morning Joe! ;)

Cleo

"Middle East" refers to just that part of the Globe:

Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia etc. according to the rest of the world apart from America it seems, if you are the norm.

Your comment again proves that what I am trying to say about Americans and their knowledge of the world is correct and equals zero out of one hundred.

It is a known fact that less Americans have travelled outside of their own country compared to any other nationality in the world. You guys prove that they need to travel and learn more.

Useless

I love American humour and find that you guys don't understand "irony" which we Brits use a lot but your comments, I don't find funny. Never become a script writer for comedies as you'll die of starvation :)

I await the next round of flames... heh heh

Brown skin, dark hair, often works at the local convenience store, looks different then the other dark skinned races down here. Woman often adorn their foreheads with a dot which results in the somewhat vulgar nickname Dot Heads.

Without asking someone of this description exactly what part of the world their ancestors are from people of this description are politely referred to as Middle Eastern decent in the part of the world where I live.

I live in a very mixed culture of many races where many languages are spoken and everyone is treated with respect and tolerance no matter what part of this big spinning rock they are from.

Looking at your comments this is something that you have never learned. Maybe you should try climbing down from your soapbox and learn a thing or two from us folks that you seem to look down on so much.

I'm a proud North American :D

is that central native north american, western buffalo north american, or anglo middle eastern north american?

Cleo

I live and have lived in central London, just a slightly cosmopolitan city, all my long life, and so I have mixed with every race, creed and colour that I've met here and I am far from a racist, specially as I only work with women of colour.. Though that could be construed as racist for not working with Caucasians, and has been by some. I'm a nice white Jewish guy and so the colour of a persons skin isn't important to me but the type of person they are, is very important. Also my choice of only photographing women of colour is business, not social, where I mix with everyone.

Why won't any of you comment on my point that Americans are the least travelled nation in the world ? Is it because you know I'm correct ? Most Americans are happy to live their life in Smallville middle USA their whole lives and see nothing more than what surrounds them.

Finally... Females with the spot on their forehead, which is called a bindi, are Hindu's, the guys who wear Turbans are Sikhs and the guy who blows up your local school in the name of Allah is a Muslim :)

Which color of race would that be color of?

I didn't know that all Muslims blew up things.

So JoeA how much traveling in America have you done?

No. People from India are Asians. There is a common misconception that in order to be asian, you must be oriental.

Cleo

I spent a lot of time in New York in the late 80's to mid 90's, going there for long weekends just to see friends and to go to concerts. I had an association to the music biz as well in those days, so I often flew over to see artists I knew if they were appearing there. The reason for New York all the time is because of my short stays and the less of a time lag when I got back to the UK. At one point in 1990, I was in New York 3 weekends out of 8 :)

Since then I have only been to Vegas for Internext twice in 2001. Since being in this biz I can't be away from my pc for more than two days, without getting withdrawal symptoms.

Again you haven't answered my question about Americans travelling, instead you chose to ask me about my travels, which I answered. Look at how many Australians and New Zealanders travel the world and it's a lot further for them to go than it is for Americans :)

Why have you molded this into more of an Amercan bashing session than a discussion on Indians? Yes, it's true that Americans travel less than Europeans. Do you think that maybe that has something to do with the fact the we have far less vacation time here? Or do you think that it's solely due to us being a bunch of ignorant bumkins? I think we already know your opinion. It's not a lack of interest in the rest of the world, it's a lack of time and wealth.

Now why don't you just run along...

I agree with UW. The whole world it seems is so anti-american, its ridiculous.

This is neither the thread nor the board to come to, to bash ANY people. If you have such a problem with 'America' and her people, simply fuck off, cancel your affiliations with ALL american sponsors, and get off the internet, which was originally intended to be a tool created by Americans, for Americans.

I am sick and tired of retreads that come on here and are fueled by their disdain for America. Thank God for America. And to hell with anti-Americanism and the idiots that support and fuel it.

You should all be ashamed of yourself. This is a perfect example of why hate will NEVER disappear because as long as there are people out there that have it in for another group or race, discrimination, racism and hate will never go away.

So either learn to tolerate, or go join some hate group and vent over there.

More Ignorance from a Yank.

It was a Brit who invented the www and gave it away for nothing... Check your history..

Ummm... As for giving up on my US sponsors... That would be difficult as I am a sponsor myself. I'm not an affiliate to anyone else but myself :)

As for being anti American I am far from that but I am anti ignorant Americans as I am anti ignorant fellow Jews and anyone else who blasts away without knowing what they're talking about.. As you have just proved you are one...

As for holidays etc... Ummm Isn't America the wealthiest nation in the world ? Don't you all have a holiday allowance from your jobs...

Come on, you lot have got to do a lot better than just rant away without thinking first :)


I'm waiting for one intelligent reply to my question about Americans and travel.. If anyone here can manage that... LOL

Here are some Wikipedia links to help fan the flames:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_east

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Indian

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_stereotype

HTH

|peace|

No you're anti anyone who doesn't travel the world. That's a lot of people in this world who you're talking about. America being so wealthy doesn't mean everyone is rich enough to travel around the world. We have poor people and middle class if you didn't know that. So you wouldn't respect their ideas because they can't travel. A holiday usually means a trip to disneyland or disneyworld for us. I respect everyone as long as they set forth an intelligent argument. BTW I have never heard of the term "East Indian". Please tell us where you heard that one!!!

Saying Americans is a lot like saying Middle Eastern, just kind of lumps a group of people that really are very diverse.

So you went and stayed in a couple of tourist spots. Kind of like me saying I know Jamaica after my three day stay there.

Go away

JoeA, JoeA, JoeA...first of all, let me begin by saying that there is no need to call me a 'Yank.' by doing so, futher supports MY claim that discrimination (at least on YOUR part) will not go away.

Secondly, my facts come from FACTUAL data. If YOU need to be reminded of fact, check out this link: http://oldsite.vislab.usyd.edu.au/ph...internet0.html :)

Thirdly, I won't even get into the arguement supporting US Sponsors. You are not a US sponsor, so end of discussion.

Fourthly, you are SO anti-American, its not funny anymore (please refer to 'Yank" comment) so don't go there, ok? :D

As far as being an anti-ignorant Jew, well, that's your problem now, isn't it? If your so jewish, you should be away from anything that has a power source since it is shabbat. Schmuck.

As far as me proving anything, I think I laid strong support to proving that you are just plain clueless, a racist, a factless blithering idiot and a contradicting jew.

Listen pal, I don't hate you. I actually pity you. Now run along and think up a response. |waves|

I'm suprised read that people here have never heard the term. It is quite common in the USA- a search on Google turns up 1,870,000 results for "east indian".

|yawn| is the history lesson over for today?

America may be the wealthiest as a nation, but only 1% of the population represents that wealth. The rest of us are just working schmucks. As for holiday allowance, most jobs I've had pay you one week's pay for each week of vacation. The most vacation time I've had on any one job is three weeks, and I wasn't allowed to take that all at one time. I don't know what you think we earn per week, but that's not enough to do anything but continue paying one's bills.

I don't have time for vacation as I spend all my time watering and caring for the money trees in my backyard. Maybe you could help and send some of your bullshit over for fertilizer so that I can getting even richer.

Hey Rex....

That is the end of who did what... The www was invented by a Brit or do you believe it was Al Gore :)

Thanks Airdick for your comments and of course you have put them more politely than a hot head like me ever could :)

Most countries in the world have statutory holidays. Remember that mainland Europe, to include France, Germany and Italy, near enough close completely for the month of August, so those of you with holiday problems... I suggest you cross the pond :)

Taking the holiday subject to another level... How many here are full time webmasters and how many are part time ?

Cleo you asked me if I'd been to the States. I gave you an answer and you have to make a dumb reply flaming me as expected... I gave good reasons for visiting NY and LV, and whether they are tourist cities or not, LV was business for 3/4 days and NY was the same time and for pleasure... Do I hear a hint of jealousy... I would say now that more fertilizer comes out of your mouth than could ever come out of my arse.. So talk to your trees a little more... Then they might grow..

My anti American comments are because it seems it's the Americans who do most of the flaming. I've made some great friends in this industry who happen to be Yanks and some since the day I started back in 99 are still in regular contact.. It just seems that you guys are from small town middle America from your attitudes and knowledge of the world, as indicated by what you know of geography for a start.

Joe...does the 'A' stand for asshole or arrogant or dare I say, autistic? The link you provided states that some Limey invented it in 1989? Are you stupid, son? The internet has been around since the 60's and was a TOOL of the US MOD. If you bothered to check the link I showed you, you would be slightly enlightened to an acceptable level, even for you. Typical.

Hey Rex

You asked a question and got an answer relevant to us being in contact here as far as I'm concerned. You weren't exactly specific. My answer is in total relation to today's thread and not a history lesson ..

My answer to you was no different to the way Cleo has been answering any of my questions.. I answered what I felt like. Of course I could have given you the answer you would have wanted but what would the point of been, when I could show more arrogance as I did with the reply given :)

As for Autistic.. I don't think so my little friend.. woof woof... here Rex ... There's a good boy.. Now roll over and play dead... Oh you are, and sitting up.. But that is just brain dead...

I'll stop playing with you guys soon as you're boring me.. Have a nice day :)

And the "A" does stand for "Arrogant".. I let people like you be the "Arsoles" of this world...
