Eating rice is probably the thing that indicates a pan-Asian identity. While rice is eaten to a small extent in other countries (excluding Asian cuisine, obviously) like in risotto, this was long after Oriental influence to those regions. Rice has historically been a staple from Persia to the Phillipines, Malaya to Korea.

Indonesia, Bangladesh, Malaysia and several other nations are also thoroughly Islamic. India is predominantly Hindu but it still has 180 million or so Muslims, most in the north...So cant disregard that either.

African culture. Its all over Latin America. Cuba has a strong Afro culture present, and Brazil's north has the largest number of Africans outside of Africa, and it shows in the culture there. So I changed to that aswell.

Argentina is made up primarily of European descended people so to add it as Blue is a closer match than listing it as Latin American.

And as far as the Latin American color goes I would reserve that for Native-American/Mestizo culture, but thats just me. The way I have it represents Latin America fairly well.


I think there's a little too much green in venezuela because the majority of Venezuela is mostly of indian and white mix. and most of northern brazil is mainly indian and white mixed mean while coastal northeast is white and black mixed.
