Can't I just take all of you foods to the prom?
Shit...
I just can't decide.
I cook Thai at home all of the time.
I eat sushi for lunch once or twice weekly.
I grew up on Indian food, and feel it's the best of the bunch when done up all fancy.
Maybe Thai because I don't know of any other cuisine that has a dish with a name as good as Prik King.
Leaning towards Indian though.
I'll get back to you.

Indian, and Thai food is pretty good. The Japanese places near me have good vegetable sushi. I don't know about Vietnamese, or Korean food, though.

there's more to japanese than sushi..
good sushi is great (and cool looking), but for me it's anything miso based, flash fried (sweet potato tempura.. oh my), terryaki, or the wide variety of noodles (esp. buckwheat). OR a steamed brick of soft tofu with ginger sauce and those thin mushrooms.. fuck, i wish it was friday..

My good friend's mom makes the best Korean food. In fact I bribed her into making me some over the weekend with a bottle of Bacardi black rum. Best shit, ever. Best use of sesame oil, ever.
At the end of the day, Indian wins though. Si.

You can label people by their skin colour if you like - I try not to - , but you should at least do it with some degree of intelligence.
If you don't think that what is traditionally regarded as Indian people - i.e. humans who's most recent evolutionary external traits such as skin colour, facial features etc. who are from the geographical region we call the Indian Sub-Continent - aren't classified as Caucasoid, well... good for you, it doesn't make it right.
Caucasian |kôˈkā zh ən|
adjective
1 often offensive of or relating to one of the traditional divisions of humankind, covering a broad group of peoples from Europe, western Asia, India and North Africa. [ORIGIN: so named because the German physiologist Blumenbach believed that it originated in the Caucasus region of southeastern Europe.]
2 of or relating to the Caucasus.
3 of or relating to a group of languages spoken in the region of the Caucasus, of which thirty-eight are known, many not committed to writing. The most widely spoken is Georgian, of the small South Caucasian family, not related to the three North Caucasian families.

no, I mean that India is in Asia, so they're Asian.
I said nothing about skin color.
I realize I have caucasian features, and am considered Caucasian.
thanks for cutting and pasting all that semantic, tripe, though.
I hope it keeps the loneliness at bay.

Oh, sorry I thought you meant the
actual, real term used for people from India.
The correct name of people and things is often a source of confusion.
Obviously my mistake.
