I didn't feel you were attacking him at all, but I'm still a bit confused when people get offended by the word asian, when there is no real hate under the name. Do we "asians" hate each other so much that we can't even allow ourselves to be grouped under a name that mainly signifies geographical location?

I've always found the term "caucasian" to be a little weird. Caucasia is Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and part of Russia. Most white people in North America came from Western Europe. I never use the term myself. I'm an American, or perhaps a white American. Or maybe a Western European American, or more precisely an American whose mother's side is English and father's side is Dutch, but they immigrated there from somewhere else, perhaps Italy, and since both sides of my family have been here over two hundred years part of me is doubtlessly from somewhere else. Americans many times define themselves by where they are from because few of us are from here, but in my case things get ridiculous. I'll stick with white American, it is the best cultural definition. |

West Asia, usually called as Middle-East. Another problem about a word Asia is it contains too large areas. |

Uhm, I have no issue about racial identity.
But I have issue with TeslaGuy's ability to erase my country from the regional map. .
Hint: where the hell is "V_______" in that list. Don't forget about Brunei and East Timor (new one if you are not updated) JK, no big deal. Just to correct.

That certainly was a silly mistake! I was flipping back and forth between a wikipedia page and here, typing two or three countries at a time, and I just goofed. Vietnamese food is one of my favorite cuisines. I like it authentic Vietnamese style, spicy enough to eat the paint off of a car. Yum.

But to be honest, I'm not sure who is offended... Are the other asian countries offended, or are japanese offended by being called asians? I did not feel I was attacked... I just thought you were curious... Maybe if I was smarter I could of been offended, lol.
I am from the hip-hop culture. In which the primary dance that people engage in at a hip-hop club is "grinding". The woman places her butt in the man's crotch and goes to work. Now there were dances (mostly regional), but not many. I am not really used to seeing people dance to music, unless its a social dance. The main dance to emerge from the hip-hop scene is what I would call break dancing (this mainly having to do with hip-hop being such a young "thang"), but recently snap dancing and a lot of atlanta dances are really becoming popular, the west coast also has its crumping and hyphy movements.... . I live in florida, most do not breakdance in florida, its mainly an "up north" dance, imo. People in the club sway and maybe jump around (mostly to start fights...<sigh>). Now coming from this environment seeing techtonik is quite amazing to me, I really like it. I never really saw "techno" dance before. So the amazement from tecktonik really must be lack of exposure, as you describe it as so "lackluster". Kraftwerk's Trans Europe Express FOR THE FUCKING WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately I only heard this song about 2 weeks ago. But damn that song is fire!

I got to see Kraftwerk live on their Computer World tour in 1981. Afrika Bambaataa's Planet Rock was such an obvious copy of Trans Europe Express that Capitol Records took them to court and won.
I'll post a video on my YouTube thread tonight. |

I regret after 1+ days of my post to have bad courage to tell frankly.
I didn't intend and don't want to offend to our friendly neigbours in this forum. |
