Do you think all Asians and Pacific islanders have a single culture?

Think of all of these Asians -- Israelis, Jordanians, Saudis, Iraqis, Iranians, Pakistanis, Kazakhs, Rusians, Indians, Bangladeshis, Koreans, Vietnamese, Chinese, Laotians, Burmese, Japanese, and so on. Now add in the many Pacific islanders.

What do you think?
