Soo...Should Indians be classified as Asians?

Haha. My mom doesn’t like that movie either…neither do I. It was very flat. The only really authentic-looking scenes were 1) that slave driver guy burning the eyes of the boy and 2) the one guy trying to tell the Americans that the Taj Mahal was a five-star hotel. :rolleyes: I agree with its message, but I don’t think it’s put across in any way except for in the credits.

As long as we’re classifying people, yes, Indians are a subset of Asian. Unfortunately, there isn’t an automatic association we have between Asian and Indian. I still think all race questions should be answerable with a “decline to state.”
