I am going to delete violence against Asians section. I'm all for having such a section here provided it has sensible and specific material. The section in its current state only includes references to attacks on people of west and south Asian origin in the US after September 11. I'm not sure if someone is trying to be funny or is someone is really that daft but it doesn't belong in an article about Asian Australians. If anyone is going to make entries to race-based attacks on Asians in Australia, it needs to be appropriately referenced with contemporary examples that show more than just a couple of isolated incidents and with evidence that they are indeed race-based.

== Asians are not Australian == | |||
There is no such thing as an asian-Australian. Australians are an ethnocultural group of people who are descended from the first fleet of Europeans from 1788. They later went on to found the Federation of Australia. Asians who live in Australia are still asian. | |||

Deletion of summary information
I am not an asian Australian (don't even live in Australia), but it strikes me that this suggested deletion goes too far, despite the editor having a query about the definition of the ethnic group--Calabraxthis 00:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
White Asians shouldn't be included
I think that White Asians (Northern Indians, Northern Pakistanis, Afghanis, Persians (Iran), Turks, Jews, Arabs...) shouldn´t be included as they have more in common with White Europeans (in fact Persians (Iranians), Northern Indians, Pakistanis and Afghans are Indo-Europeans like the English... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.53.111.123 (talk) 22:20, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Citation needed?
I removed the following "They are very fond of the song Centerfold (song)." as I suspect it's mischievous - see also Centerfold page. At the very least, needs a citation if it put back 122.107.58.27 (talk) 06:57, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Asians
In Australia, the common informal definition of an Asian (non-ABS definition) is someone from East and South East Asia. It does not include South Asians!210.49.65.41 (talk) 11:54, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Asians are not Australian
There is no such thing as an asian-Australian. Australians are an ethnocultural group of people who are descended from the first fleet of Europeans from 1788. They later went on to found the Federation of Australia. Asians who live in Australia are still asian.
