Asian Pride is a slogan used mostly by Asian American youths to celebrate their Asian heritage. The term Asian is actually a misnomer because the term Asian Pride generally applies to East Asians only. The term does not generally apply to Middle-Eastern, South or West Asians. "Worldwide" is sometimes added to the end of the phrase. Country specific forms like "Chinese Pride" also exist. It is sometimes spelled as azn or pryde. It is also often written in camelcase. Its current usage has its origins in street usage amongst Asian American youth, particularly in southern California.
