The Beautiful World of Asia
Updated: 7 days ago
Article
This article is titled, The Beautiful World of Asia, because the continent is extremely vast and is like a world of its own. Some people aren't aware of how vast the Asian continent is and the many different, vibrant people and cultures that are there. There are Asians that have straight, wavy, and sometimes curly hair, as well as Asian people who have the deepest and most beautiful complexions that would rival the array of rich skin tones of Africa. Some were considered or classified, and even identified themselves as black or negro depending on the era, sometimes the locations that they lived, as well as preference, due to some of their luxuriously rich or brown skin tones. It's not often that people from Asia don't identify as Asian today, because there are numerous Asian populations around the world in modern times, so it's simpler to discover a community with close ties if need be, but in the past that wasn't always the reality.
My family has connections to parts of Asia and that would explain my love for a variety of Asian foods as well as some of my relatives loving them as well, not to appear stereotypically focused. Personally, I have lived in predominately white communities, mixed communities of different groups of people with different cultures, and rural communities of mixed and black populations, as well, and from these experiences I have found there are lovely and intelligent people, no matter where I've lived, that always offered invaluable interactions (as well as family sharing their connections to Native or Indigenous communities). If you aren't able to engage with these types of individuals, you are either in the wrong environments, or around the wrong people. Regardless, I hope that everyone finds their tribe of extraordinary and loving people no matter their origins, if that's what they're seeking.
