No, I have absolutely no blood in me of the Asian continent.

I recently realized that I could concievebly, rather than claiming to be Wasian, I could argue that I am I full blooded Asian-American:

1/2 Japanese American
1/2 Russian/Polish Jew

Why would you want to be Asian? Europeans ROCK. I mean, the sun never set on the British Empire.

True. That's why I prefer Wasian. And I'm totally expatriating to Europe when I 'grow up.' Except I'd miss my family and everything...

I say: to heck with my family, if they want to be Americans, they can wallow in their own political quagmires, I'm going to Germany.

Well, I obviously have a deeper attachment here.

Sensitive topic. Let's leave it at that.

Thalia--Asian has only one "i", so it would be "Wasian", not "Waisian". And by going by that rule, I would be Wasian too. Except that I don't consider myself that. And to what country in Europe would you expatriate?

I still don't get it why anyone would want to be Asian, I mean, they make up about the majority of Earth's population, you'd want to be different.

You said you don't get why anyone would want to be Asian. Is it a choice? I don't think so.

Ever heard of citizenships? Passports?
