Mozzissey wrote:I consider Afro-Eurasia as one giant continent, (same applies to the Americas). However, Asian I believe is a separate term, like European and African. I define Asian as Japan, China, the Koreas, southeast Asian nations. I define India as a subcontinent, and view them as similar, but different from Asians. I view the Middle East/Arabic world as separate from Asia and India, but similar. Europe is different all together culturally, which gives it the title of "Cultural Continent". The same label applies to India, the Middle East, and Asia, as well as all the different parts of Africa (Southern, Northern, Eastern, Western).
The Americas are divided into two "cultural continents"'; The largely Anglo-Saxon north (throw in some Francophones too) and the largely Hispanic south. They share a history of colonization and struggle.

Certainly odd that I left out Indonesia and the like, but that's because whilst I also view them as South East Asians, I view them slightly more Pelopenesian than I view them Asian.The same goes for Indian and the Middle-Eastern & Former CIS nations. Indians are Indian first, Asian second. Etc.

What is Pelopenesian? That's not a real word or grouping as far as I know.

Yeah, and why?
Is it because they all look the same to you?
Is it because you don't know anything about their cultures and just assume them all to be the same?
Do you know that the Peloponnese is the peninsula in Greece with Sparta in it?
Did you know that Asia at first meant Turkey, the Levant, and Egypt east of the Nile?
How are Malays, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians, the Thai, and the Burmese not Southeast Asian?
