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.

Umm, people from the Sub-Continent are not "Asian"

haha. yes they are.

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.

Actually, scratch that.

e-x-a-c-t-l-y-!

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..

e-x-a-c-t-l-y-!

I tried hard to like the japanese kitchen - but I failed.
