I've learnt something new today!@Vadan- not in the US. In the US, "oriental" is considered derogatory (which is why Tek used it). We tend to lump people from China, Korea, Japan, Laos, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, etc, & sometimes even the Phillipines (though they're technically the Pacific Islands) as "Asians". To us, people from India are just called Indian (Then the whole Indians vs Native American Indians thing is another thing). It's sad, but probably a good number of North Americans don't even know what continent India is on. They probably think it's in the Middle East...& probably don't know what continent the Middle East countries are on either.

I second that ...
Never would have imagined that the Americans would defer from the British to such an extent ...

Russia=Country
Asia=Continentcontinent>country
So therefore, Russia, or at least part of it, can be inside Asia, making that part property if the Asian continent.
