If you are a citizen/national of an Asian country, then yes, you are Asian.
No stick in my wheel..... Where you are born, raised, nor the language you speak, determines your
race. By your physical description you are obviously not of the
mongoloid race which is predominant in China where mandarin is spoken.
Asia = 1 continent. Asian = person from any of the 50 countries in Asia.
China, Afghanistan, Armenia, Pakistan, Japan...... To name a few....
Maybe this example will help you to understand......
North American is a person from the North American
continent United States of America is a country in North America(Mexico is also North American) In USA you have people of many races.
If you are born and raised in the USA, you speak English and your physical traits are black.... Is your
race North American???
Classifying a person by race is nearly impossible. If you are going to try, at least educate yourself a little. That's all I am suggesting.
