Asian Australian Film Forum and Network =========== The asian-australian_discuss group was a space for Asian Australians interested in issues relevant to Asian Australians - issues such as cultural exchange, ethnic identity and racial experience, but beyond this scope as well.

Topics ranged from current affairs and popular culture to family histories and social issues. One week we're talking about Jackie Chan or sci-fi monsters, and the next it'll be good Malaysian restaurants and/or the best roti in Perth. We want to open up discussions about issues of identity and racial politics, culture and belonging. It could be any topic out there, seen through various Asian Australian perspectives.
