Asian pride

Asian Pride is a slogan used mostly by youths of Asian descent in the USA to celebrate their Asian heritage (Asian in this context being limited from its geographic sense, to the meaning as in the term Asian American). Worldwide is sometimes added to the end. Specific forms of nationality (like "Chinese Pride") also exist. It is sometimes spelled as "azn pryde" or "azn pride" and is often written in camelcase. Its current usage has its origins on the Internet. The controversial rap song titled "Got Rice?" is a well known song celebrating Asian Pride. The song helped popularize the slogan among asian youths.

The Asian Pride movement encompasses Asian Nationalist and Asian Supremacist groups, but is neither limited to Asian Natioalism or Asian Supremacism nor is defined by a consistent racialist ideology. Its unifying feature is a membership comprised of Asian genealogical background who follow various race-centred doctrines.
