Similarly, in American English Asian seems to mean Chinese (and Korean/Japanese), Indian means the original inhabitants of Americas, and so on. <BR/><BR/>I agree with your comment, so I will revise the opening statement, as well as be careful about not following misnomers... <BR/><BR/>(Plus we need to meet... more through phone/email)Vivek Sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794419464988884719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10404411.post-5840058425359501212009-03-29T21:40:00.000-04:002009-03-29T21:40:00.000-04:00DearI guess you have to be born in America, the CO...Dear<BR/>I guess you have to be born in America, the CONTINENT, to understand what it feels, to hear/read people speaking about "America" and realize that they're not referring to you, they're just ignoring your presence within the meaning of the continent you were born into.
