just to get a feel for the community here in OTL, vote for the race that best fits your description, based on the Wikipedia Standards. The Image there should help. You're welcome to be more specific than these 8 generic categories by posting your specific ethnicity.
This isn't meant to be racist in any way, so please don't turn this into a flame fest. This is merely for informational purposes.
EDIT: I myself am personally Indian, which falls under the Caucasoid category.
I understand Caucasian in this context doesn't mean the skin color, but the grouping based on physiological connections (to the peoples of the Caucasus region), and that's why Iran, India and the like are included.

Because chinese asians are below you?
He is Vietnamese.. he means, just trollin' you
uh im not vietnamese.. asians in general do not like it when non-asians call them collectively as "chinese" or say stupid shit like "oh your all the same anyway". Keep that in mind if you want to make friends with asians or want an asian girlfriend.

Those are just people who don't know better. It's just lack of conversance.. that must be it.

but it must be ok to lump all the whites together, right? Nobody does that, do they?

lumping people together as "white" is not the same as lumping people together as "chinese". You don't lump all white people as "british" do you?

"you're all the same anyway" is what I was referring to. I am aware Asians have different ethnicities - Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, Japanese, etc. But you're talking about the same thing. Lumping all of them together as "white" instead of German, Polish, Norwegian, etc. Or did I misinterpret your post?
