Arabic guys are different from Asian guys to me

North Africa and the middle east denotes Arabic and India and Pakistan etc are Asian

No doubt someone will be along shortly to tell me I'm wrong

I wouldn’t think of an Arab as Asian they are very different cultures, religion, language and geography.

You are right. It’s Semitic not just geographic. Plus people from Indochina countries - called south East Asians

North Africa would make them African. It's simple geography. No need to always murk the waters.

I'm British, that makes me European. A Brazilian would be South American and so on. As I said, simple geography.

We aren't talking about faiths, languages etc.

You have a fair point. And I'll hold my hands up and say I got that wrong in not one but 2 posts.

Maybe you're not Asian but African.

Now I see why you asked the question

When we meet someone in a club, we think it’s a fairly normal topic of conversation to ask where they are from. Could be Madrid, Sri Lanka or Barnsley. It’s interesting.

Likewise if we travel abroad, we wouldn’t normally find it strange or insulting to be asked the same.

Russians arent asians but European can you believe that lol

Turks arent allowed European union inclusion.

On here so many arent the top end of the IQ spectrum to know the difference between an Asian and an Arab hell some here dont even know the difference between a Sikh and a muslim or an indian and a pakistani.

I wouldn't take it personally mate.

Youre an Arab but on here yours a single guy seeking sex like 1000s of others... and that's what we all have to contend with lol

Ps: to me a Libyan is arab African.

To me russians are caucasian asian.

To me Turks are European and asian.

To me chinese are east asian or oriental Asian.

To me French are caucasian european.

And finally to me United kingdom is british lol were the special ones.

This whole thing confuses my completely. I'm from the United States of America, therefore I'm American. People from the United Stated of Mexico are Mexican.

People there refer to themselves as Mexican-American, Arab-American, African-American as a source of pride, not at as label. I call myself German-American, when pushed, as my grandmothers were German. I'm first and foremost American.

Here, people whose great great whatever number parents emigrated from Pakistan/Africa/everywhere! are still referred to (and often refer to themselves, of those I know) as Pakistani, African, whatever!

Doesn't becoming a citizen and contributing to the country mean you are British? (I am not, yet, so don't count myself as British or American-British--I'm White, Other).

Very confused at labels here!!!!!

In answer to the original question!!!

Arabs are a group of people from the Middle East/parts of North Africa, yes? (My ex is Arab). Asian is an overall term for anyone from Asia.

Back to my confusion--why are only people from the Indian subcontinent called Asian here? What about people who are Chinese, Japanese, and the rest of the continent!

Yes arabs come in all faiths and sexualities.

To stereotype or group them together just shows ignorance if nothing more.
