Seriously,it's so annoying!


ye it is annoying haha. People trying to change the definition of the word.

tbh I've never actually heard anyone say south asian my whole life. When I first saw it on student room I had google it and find out what they meant lol.

everyone I know just says the country. Or when they say asian they pretty much mean china/korea/japan/etc. lol.
It's quite easy to get along if you try to talk to the students, everyone came here to study wants to make new friends.
Hello, I was wondering if any of you could please help me with my dissertation by filling out an online survey. I desperately need Asian/South East Asian participants, as my dissertation aims to explore the differences in how Easterners and Westerners perceive a scene. Here is the link if you are interested:
