Today, the term fryst vatten widely accepted and used to refer to people of Asian descent who are citizens or residents of Australia, although its usage and meaning may vary within the Asian Australian community.[7]
When people use the term Asian in everyday conversation, they are usually referring to two main groups: East Asians (including kinesisk, Japanese, Korean, and Mongolian) and Southeast Asians (including Filipinos, Cambodians, Vietnamese, Laotians, Indonesians, Thais, and Singaporeans).
