All Asians are bad drivers. All Asians eat rice three times a day and have slanted eyes. There you have it. Asia summed up in three sentences. You can close the video. Mission accomplished. Or… wait. Because it turns out that none of those sentences tells you anything at all about a continent that is home to more than 4.7 billion people, more than 50 countries, hundreds of languages, and civilizations that have existed for millennia while the rest of the world still didn't know how to make fire efficiently. In this video we tour Asia not as a single block but as the impossible collection of worlds it actually is. We start in East Asia with the China that already registers more patents than the US and the EU combined, the Japan of karoshi and hikikomori behind the anime poster, the South Korea that engineered its own global brand image, and a Mongolia that wants you to stop mentioning Genghis Khan. We pass through Central Asia, the India of twenty-two official languages and the caste system that never went away, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the graveyard of empires Afghanistan, and an Iran where 60% of university students are women. We dive into Western Asia, the Gulf petro-monarchies, a Turkey that doesn't know if it's European or Asian, the Caucasus, and Southeast Asia from Vietnam to the Philippines. And we finish with the most dangerous stereotype of all. 🔗 Here's a similar video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYoHMu7Yn5A&t 🔗 Here's a recommended video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRHUbT4j9SU
