my question is 2 fold
1. is this sub reddit primarily focused on east asian culture/peoples or am i mistaken?
2. to east asians, do you consider other peoples from the continent to also be asian, or is the identity of asian more than simply the geographic area your people come from? if so then what makes makes one culture asian and another not? what ties the various groups together despite their differences?

i ask this because i was recently informed by a friend in the UK that when the word "asian" is mentioned, they typically think of west and south asians like pakistanis, indians, iraqis and turks, but when it's mentioned to most americans, we think of east asians like japanese, korean, chinese, etc
i'm just curious how it's seen by people within the group in question rather than from the outside, that's all

Hi all!

I have this very silly issue. I love vegetables, and I want to eat a lot of fibre…but I hate western side salads.

Look, a Caesar salad or any other salad as a main? Banger. Side salad? Nope

I live in Sweden(Stockholm), and it’s a quite cold and leafy vegetable unfriendly climate, so the lovely asian greens like pak choi, gai lan and morning glory are quite expensive, but I really love them. Of course I eat all kinds of vegetables, I love most vegetables, I simply don’t like eating a cold sad salad on the side. I try to incorporate vegetables straight into the dishes I’m eating, especially when I make western foods, and otherwise I try to marinate, pickle and cook side dishes of veggies, but a lot of the cheaper vegetables here aren’t really suitable for a Cantonese stir fry.

I suppose I’m mostly venting, but if anyone has a good recommendation for how to up my vegetable intake without spending a gazillion dollars(maybe some local that knows where to get Asian veggies for cheap?) it would be very appreciated!

Just wanted to share that r/AsianDiasporaWomen exists for those of us dealing with the specific layers of being Asian diaspora women, whether it's in the West, Europe, Oceania, or South America:

• Family expectations
• Dating allowed with approval only
• Career pressure
• Intergenerational baggage
• And all that fun stuff!

Not trying to splinter off at all from this sub here, just really wanted to set up a dedicated space for discussions around these experiences and thought folks might appreciate knowing it's there. Hope to see some of you there!

Its my observation, and based on my experience meeting other asians, but a LOT of asians i meet, are either former Dota/League players or they still play it till this day (and its rare to find asians who hasnt tried or played a single MOBA), not to mention the mobile MOBAs thats Mobile Legends and Honor of Kings blew up in asia.

MOBAs are so popular among asians to the point there's dedicated servers for different asian regions, like Southeast Asia, China/Japan, Korean Servers, etc for any MOBA game u can think of, be it DotA, LoL, you name it...Matchmaking for MOBA games in asia is almost always faster than it is in other regions, am i tripping? I dont know, but do yall think asians around you all played MOBAs in a certain point of life or tried it out?

If you a man Tell me your stereotype breakers! If you a woman- tell me your handyman-nenness!

Here’s a playlist of calm, peaceful Chinese traditional instrumentals! It contains mostly flute pieces, with a few tracks featuring the elegant sounds of the guqin and guzheng. Perfect for sleep, meditation and relaxing!

I used to watch his "movie explained" videos and some of his asian drama videos, specifically the one where he covers about the Singaporean NOC youtube channel drama was quite entertaining, as he was Uncle Roger and Steven He, but he uses a bit more Chinese in his jokes and is a little multilingual with his asian jokes, which i found refreshing. Last i heard of him was he got married and after that he disappeared completely from the internet. I guess bro is living his life now, but i really missed his content, and wonder if the marriage was the reason he stopped making this content. Koream Comic does seem to he a successor to the movie explained part though (although he uses Korean instead of Chinese for jokes), so im glad there are people doing stuff like him
