I may hope so that the Middle east is closer in culture then China. We've ruled over them for ages if you didn't know :) Ps: India and the Middle east are in Asia. |
That's very much the point though. If your making continets because of culture... The middle east and India WOULDN'T be in Asia. They'd be part of europe. With Asia only being China and Korea. Europe as a continent is really a subconsiously racist definition when you talk about culture because of it. A continent made more for white people so they can point to Asia, the middle east and India as "others".
