<p>Could someone please define Asian culture for me?</p>
<p>[Culture</a> of Asia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Asia]Culture”>Culture of Asia - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>I don’t see the deal, it’s good to see other cultures and pursue other interests, esp. if you have had the luck of living abroad. You don’t have to be in an Asian percussion group, be a tutor of your own language, eat rice and what-not for every meal and everything.</p>
<p>Those damn Asians.</p>
<p>most asians that i know are “white-washed”. But i have a question about their names…why is it that so many asians have asian sounding names that I’m guessing might be hard for the average american to pronounce but they change it to something else like a Jenny, Michael Holly, etc. They dont even change the name legally…people just call them but that other name.</p>

Asia is the biggest continent. The culture of Palestine will be radically different from the culture of Vietnam. However, it seems that this thread is referring to East Asians in particular (i.e. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.). Interestingly enough, some of the people of Asia are considered “white” in some respects, such as those of Middle Eastern descent, though are often not thought of as such by the American public (speaking generally, of course).</p>

I believe you answered it yourself, because it is irritating/unappealing for them to be called by their name which is pronounced wrongly.</p>
<p>I definitely don’t want to forcefully embrace my culture, but at the same time some cultural components are present in my life whether I like it or not based on how my parents raised me.</p>
<p>I’m hapa, and I’m very white. I love white culture! I actively dislike Chinese culture, on the other hand. I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t.</p>
<p>I was an Asian once, but that was several years ago. I wasn’t stereotypically Asian then, though.</p>
