soc.culture.asian
Discussions about Asian cultures generally.
Broader than any single country group, soc.culture.asian hosted pan-Asian identity discussion — particularly strong on Asian-American and Asian-diaspora experience, intermarriage, media representation and second-generation language loss.
It was frequently crossposted with country groups, which made it both a crossroads and, at times, a battleground; its flame wars over identity terminology are period pieces now.
