[QUOTE]Originally posted by anguishofbeing: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [qb] The Phillipines are no where near Mongolia. So why use "Mongol" for people who probably never seen a Mongol let alone consider themselves one. Malaysia is closer to the Phillipines, Malay can be used similar to Nilotic. [QUOTE]Originally posted by anguishofbeing: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [qb] Been here since 2007 and still don't know that the people we call Filipinos ARE Asians (Mongols), and are DIFFERENT from Negritos.[/qb][/QUOTE]And you've been here since 2005 and you don't know that 'Asian' is anyone living in the continent and associated islands of Asia which [i]includes[/i] aboriginal groups like 'Negritos'. Racial terms like 'Mongol' and 'Negrito' are invalid anyway. I prefer the term 'Malay' to describe the stereotypical Filipino. And by 'Malay' I don't mean it in the racial sense Westerners used it but in the cultural or ethnic sense that stereotypical or 'Mongol' (I hate that term) Asians of the Philippines, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia all belong to the same cultural group or heritage. [/qb][/QUOTE]You just switched the name (Malay/Mongol) but kept the same concept: a term to designate a specific ethnic/racial stereotypical looking type (i.e. not negrito). At least Mike is honest, you on the other hand are simply playing language games. [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]I agree, that would make geographic sense. But Mary was addressing the [i]racial[/i] usage of the term by westerners and claimed that she was somehow different by using another term which of course is not true since she just switched terms but kept the concept, i.e. stereotypical Asians who are not negritos.
