Question

Under what race do Asian Indians Fall?

Answer 1

I don;t think there is one You are just mixed with some Indian in you I am Sac N Fox Indian I have to say I have never seen a Asian Indian but to me Indians are beautiful people So be proud and fight for your rights AYE!!!!!!

Answer 2

asian indians make up their own race.

there are A LOT of races,,, a lot more than the three you named. there are polynesians and macronesians and aborigines and amerinds. and "black" isn't really a race. sub-saharan africa has more variation than all of the other continents combined. so like,,, between a norwegian, a korean, a sudanian, and a botswanian, the two people out of the bunch who are most closely related to one another are the norwegian and the korean. what's more,,, the norwegian and korean are more closely related to the sudanian than the botswanian is to the sudanian. so if you're going to put the sudanian into a group, it makes more sense to group him with the norwegian and the korean than it does to group him with the botswanian.

fromafar,,,, how can you say this?:

"But if you would like a scientific answer, your question will stay blank, since for a scientist, there is no such thing as races."

races are a very real thing. scientists use the word for two separate populations just before speciation. i don't think this accurately describes the case with humans, but i do think it's a bad idea to deny the fact that certain human beings are more closely related to other human beings.

Answer 3

Awesome question! It's fairly recently that South Asians even started considering themselves "Asian American." Not all do. Asian Indians get caught in this margin of neither being "Asian enough to be Asian" or "White enough to be White."

I think race is a social construct, not one that's biologically determined anyway. Where do South Asians fit in? I think 20 years ago, most people (including S. Asians) would have said "Caucasian." Now, I think there's more awareness among S. Asians that they don't quite feel like that category fits. But then what does fit, because our "racial categories" are so arbitrary that it leaves out a huge section of humanity!

Great question - tough one to answer....

Answer 4

Well it depends: if you like to see them in colors to fit your classification system then they are yellow or brown. That's enough when you need to fill in a crossword puzzle.
But if you would like a scientific answer, your question will stay blank, since for a scientist, there is no such thing as races.
Sorry, try reading something that wasn't printed in the 19th century.

While I deny that "race" is a scientific concept, I do not deny the fact that "certain human beings are more closely related to other human beings". It's just that this relationship is not properly expressed by the concept of "race". Differences depend on "genetic pools" so similar traits can characterize one population, but this is true in very short periods of time and of all populations. For example, people in Ireland are distinctly redhead and people in Sweden distinctly blond, but to describe this traits as "racial" will lead you to thousands of racial groups, which beats the purpose of the concept.

Answer 5

Scientists don't classified humans based on the color of the skins. Indians are a mixed "race". It is neither pure "white" nor "mongoloid", but a mixture of different people.
About 1500 B.C. Aryan tribes from Northeast merge with earlier Dravidian inhabitants. Arab inclusions in the 8th century and Turkish in the 12th century.

Answer 6

hmm I would love to know the exact answer for this myself too.
I am not white but yah! I am an Indian.
Somesay aryans invaded the indus valley civilsation and they were pushed down to south India, and were called dravidians. So North Indians are the same race as Arghanis and Iranis I guess.

Answer 7

Caucasian

Answer 8

Indigenous Asian people...some of the people from say Siberia or like the Ainu of Japan are generally considered a Mongoloid as well as allot American Indians have Mongoloid traits as well.

I am part Native American as well as Saami and indigenous group that is in the Northern Artic area as well.
