We just call our selves our groups, we dont enjoy clumping everyone under an umbrella term.   I call myself Chinese.   If we have to talk about it race wise, then we just call ourselves Asians. Saves alot of headaches, but we only do this when White people are around, so they can understand and we can get on without having questions asked.  But Asian is not very descriptive. Indians and Pakis are Asians, Middle-Easterners are Asians, much of Russia is Asia, etc... You should be proud to be of the Orient, proud to be Oriental:smilejap
