We know that, of course...but I believe that Chinese falls into the category of 'Asian'.
Definitely, I think most people know the difference on the west coast though, it is a bit rude to lump them in with Chinese... And if you call them Chinese on the streets of LA, you might have a drive by in the next 20 minutes coming your way. From my experience there is a much better "awareness" of Asian population on west coast, w/ exception of NYC. Much more integrated and part of the culture.

Errr,,,I'm not too sure about this observation. In fact it's quite the opposite IME. Explain please...

Lump who in with the Chinese? I am referring to the Chinese in particular, not confusing non-Asians with them. Sheesh.
I think its because you West Coast people are directly east from where China is and that's why the East Coast doesn't have a big Asian population and all the Chinese are flying to LA, San Fran, and Vancouver
Isn't the East Coast closer (flight-wise) to Asian than the West Coast?
Btw, just saw the poll results. LOL AT ALL THE ZEROS!
