Geologically speaking yes, Asians are people who are from Asia but when not everything is technical.
When not everything is technical, then what? Is it still all geological at that point? It is long overdue someone posit geology as an argument toward asian ancestry as "having yellow skin."

I withdrawn the definition of Asians from my experiences thus my point of view. I can't speak for everyone therefore I speak only for myself.
Your experiences, thus, your point of view, lead you to withdrawn that definition? I am glad you are familiary with the tautology.
ddazndd said:
The reason I make no room for arguments because everyone share their own perceptions of the definition of Asian, there is no right or wrong since our conceptions are different, that is why I said what I said.
The problem here is that the defition of an asian is not your opinion, or my opinion. It is not really debatable at all. When you make a patently false and borderline racist statement (i.e. "Asians = people with yellow skin), you can't just have us believe the definition of a word can be changed based on individual beliefs, and that therefore it cannot be argued.
ddazndd said:
It's a normative statement, such as "the color red is ugly". If you want to argue against it then be my guest but it's unnecessary since there is no right or wrong.
It is actually not a normative statement; it is a positive statement.

Plus I started this thread based on my own perspective of term "Asians". In any math questions, the variables are always stated as integers, positive numbers, real numbers etc. You can argue that it's not an integer or a positive but that's not part of your solution. You are suppose to solve the question with the given criteria.
You keep using the same rationale, over and over again. Just because you think our beliefs define the word asian doesn't mean it's true. And even if asian is a subjective term, why can't other people answer based on their own definition? My personal whim is that Asians are people from the continent of Asia, either physically or through ancestry. I believe that is a little bit more rational than your "perspective."
Also, please do not try and pull the wool over someone's eyes using math. I believe you are trying to discuss calculus. In which case, the variables are not "stated" as anything. You are given a domain (input) and a range (output), and you are to solve within that set. There is no arguing involved.
ddazndd said:
In this case the objection is to acknowledge the Asian community on LPSG with the criteria of Asian = yellow skin.
I don't even know what that means.
ddazndd said:
ok......you are obviously not familiar with mathematics "quizes".
I am sorry we all did not study 'mathematics "quizes"' as extensively as you have.
ddazndd said:
Once again theres no point of arguing because our perspectives are different.
No one is right and no one is wrong.
Game, set, and match, then?

Are you really saying that LargeJohnson is being offensive while he says virtually the same thing you are saying? I believe, in fact, that he might be mocking you a little bit.

How would you feel if someone had the signature "WHITES ARE THE BEST!"?
Then how would you feel, if you were reading a site based in the UK, and people on there told you that you weren't Asian? Also, that's it's not debatable because that is their perception. It is their perception that Asians are Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, and Sri Lankans only, therefore you should please get out of their thread, because mathematics proves it. And that yellow skinned people are the best!
