Asian Americans get plenty of stereotypes, but I don't really hear them being called yellow which I find odd. Just curious to know why we're not referred as a color. Do you think Asian Americans will be known as yellow in the future? Just 'cause y'know... a lot of whites were European American at some point. Think it'll happen to us?
And woo! First thread on here! >_>
[EDIT] I'm mainly referring to those of Asian descent raised in the US, since I am most familiar with this country-- and aware there are other Asian ethnicities, however, when an American (not Asian descent) hears that word "Asian" they usually think Chinese or an Asian ethnicity with lighter complexion. I'm trying to see this from their point of view. So I further apologize if I offended or confused anyone.
A black person who may be Haitian doesn't get asked what country they are from unless they speak with a thick accent or wear their traditional garb. But even if it's an Asian born and raised in the US, they get asked. @_@;; I also find this odd. Or maybe it's paranoia. 'XD I have experienced this with a foreign exchange student btw.
Just wondering which is better, to be called yellow and be a color like the rest, or stick with being called Asian American?
