    Asians are very different form each other because you are talking about a very large, multiple and very different races. There are Malayo-Polynesians, Mongol descents, Arabs, Hindus, the Jews and more. Those races are very much different from each other because of traditions, culture and religion. As a Filipino myself, I have trouble describing our race because Filipinos are very different from the Japanese, the Hindus and others. If I would be able to describe the Asians as a whole, it would be a very subjective opinion and I guess it will not help you much. But I say this, South-east Asians strongly believe in superstitions and the presence of spirits. Southwest Asians are very firm in protecting themselves and East Asians love patience, endurance and fortune.

    Kind of a very broad question considering the countries you have put together.

    I'd divide that in to 5 categories

    East Asians - Taiwan Japan China Hongkong (Smart and business savy)

    South East Tailand Vietnam Mynmar Cambodia Indonesia (Friendly and hospitable)

    South Asians - Sri Lanka India Bangladesh (brown, smarter, spiritual)

    North Asians Mongolia (innocent and unspoiled)

    Arabs -Kuwait Saudi (ignorant, violent, arrogant, and uneducated)

    I'm guessing by "Asian" you mean like Chinese and not Indian/Bangladeshi/Sri Lankan etc, as in the UK. I think it doesn't matter if you don't fit into the Chinese sterotype, or whatever other stereotype there is. Just be yourself. And knowing a rap song doesn't make you less Chinese, neither does not having many Asian friends.

    Small Willy - BUT, after a LOT of research I can say that it is NOT true of all asian races. I can vouch that it is not true in respect of thais, indonesians and cambodians

    as I know majority of asian are love being asian and they really hate caucasian people. especially caucasian from some particularly country which I don't tell.

    I living in asia now for a vacastion. the person who say they like blonde hair and blue eyes is totally wrong. all I know asian in thailand hate white people very much. because on most web boards I have read, they only write a bad thing about white women look masculine and blue eyes look scary. I only seen they making a fun out of caucasian celebrities and compare those girls to a transexual men in thailand on a web boards. because most transexual asian men always ended up have face like caucasian women. south east asian people even find chinese women look prettier than white women. a group of asian that like white people are really small, perhaps only asians in usa or europe. beause majority of them in asia, that I know of.. are dislike white people and arab people.
