Which city ??
Great !! Are you interested in the political developments ??🤔🤔🤔
Nope.
I am from the Middle east, so technically I am from Asia
Great ! Which country ?
Israel
Lol the downvotes
Yep. Pathetic and embarrassing.
Why so ???
Do the lsraelis find themselves at family with the general culture of the Middle East ?
I'm from the middle east. Arab dude from Saudi (I know, I know...)
This is more convincingly the Middle East 😉😉
Yes, but the middle east is Asian (specifically, southwest asia). So it counts
A person from lsrael had mentioned the word "technically from Asia"......
Only someone from lsrael would be so careful in their speech 😉😉😉
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Who's Jesse ?🤔🤔🤔
Thanks for sharing that link 😃😃
Can you ping me ? Send me a hi through message ?? I wish to see how it works 😃😃😃
Done
You sent me a message ? But it's not showing up as a message.
You said to ping
Okay 👍😊...... I sent you a message from my Mastodon account 😊😊😊
Do you mean living in Asia or born and raised? I moved to South Korea 4 years ago.
South Korea is still far away. Were you raised in Asia ?
No, I just moved here 4 years ago, first a business trip, then I met someone and asked to go on more business trips until I asked them to move me to the Korean office and I me and my now wife moved in together.
Do you mean actually living in South Asia or just of South Asian extraction? I'm the latter.
South Asian extraction would do as well. Were you raised in this region ?
Nope, but was raised by my parents to have an appreciation of our culture and heritage. Born in Europe actually.
Your parents are from 🇮🇳 or from 🇵🇰 ?
Neither. Burma, actually.
Closer to lndia.... But are you familiar with the politics here ???
Indo-Pakistani politics you mean? Somewhat. I might not be as up to date on it as some other situations in the world, but I've had the Coles Notes version.
What's that ??
Basically it was a giant stew of small states of various religions, cultures and beliefs. Then everything changed when the English showed up. After the second world war, and the English were divesting their empire like a used coffee filter, the place was partitioned into its modern borders with the Islamics supposed to be in Pakistan while the Hindus and other assorted were supposed to be in India. Of course this required mass migrations of people which didn't exactly go off without a hitch and so old grudges from before the British colonial days bubbles back up and there were a couple of casual genocides.
So now you've got enclaves in both countries, historic grudges and now (in the 1950s) you're one of the many fronts in the Cold War.
That evolves into a shooting war every once in a while between the two countries with the Indians also squaring off against the Communist Chinese from time to time. The Chinese are still interested in keeping things going because if they can team up with one side, they get a good access to the Indian ocean.

I think they mean "specifically", not "typically".
