You were taught wrong. Freedom of speech or no: it’s not okay to say something is a fact when it’s not. That’s called lying and that’s bad.

They’re split by a series of mountains and rivers! Interesting ACTUAL fact: there are two countries that are split between the continents and one city that is:
Russia and Turkey are both in Asia and Europe
Istanbul has a bridge connecting Asia to Europe

I know, sometimes I just can’t be asked to explain again and eventually say I am Chinese just to shut them up.

Prove them wrong by doing a DNA test. Then they’ll be quiet. I’ve been there too. Not pretty.

Eurasia is… interesting. It’s used in prehistory for the large land mass and in loads of Orwellian-style dystopians where Europe and Asia join forces

I just say “not that kind of Asian” when my Japanese friends get called Chinese.
I’m learning Japanese and people always do a really racist impression of mandarin when I tell them. I just give them a thin smile and start speaking in Japanese to prove a point

It’s the whole massive land mass without places like the British Isles, Japan the Philippenes and Cyprus because they’re islands. If we’re only considering the land mass, they don’t count
