term "Oriental" is more likely to be used for East/South-East Asian (if you mentioned an Asian supermarket to a British person they'd probably assume you meant an Indian one). Therefore I have some issues with using the term "Asian Supermarket" as the title for an article focusing entirely on this sub-set of Asian supermarkets as is overly biased towards the US worldview (a common problem on wikipedia!). Having said that, I'm not sure what the solution to this is, as I don't know of a single universally acceptable name (I'd say change it to Oriental but that's me coming from the British perspective & I don't know how widely that term is used in the US & other parts of the world). One possibility, rather than changing the name, would be to actually widen the scope of the article to include all Asian supermarkets, with separate sections for "Oriental" supermarkets & "Indian" supermarkets (and any others people feel are relevant).

I don't know if Americans realise this, but the term "Asian" is not necessarily used in the same way in other countries as it is in the US, where it seems that Asian = East or South-East Asian. In the UK, for instance, "Asian" is more commonly used to refer to people from the Indian subcontinent, the

I think the difference is that there are few large Mexican Supermarkets, while there are many tiny Mexican markets. I've lived in Boston, San Francisco, and Chicago, and the Asian Supermarket is much more of a phenomenon than any other ethnic group. The closest I've seen is some Indian supermarkets

There's plenty of different ethnic groups forming ethnic markets all over the world, but the only article I can find is Asian supermarket. How is an Asian supermarket different from, say, a Mexican supermarket, which doesn't have an article? I think there should be one page for all forms of

In addition, there seems to be a complete lack of Thai representation, despite the popularity of Thai cooking. Is that ethnicity's presence in the Asian supermarket scene very small? I see the Thai-themed Bangluck Market chain growing steadily, though extremely slowly.

on Devon in Chicago, but I guess this also qualifies as Asian. If you have some other ethnic supermarkets I'd prefer to see the expansion of the article rather than the deletion.

I deleted this because this is complete POV. Not every market stays open. Like regular stores, some do go out of business. In fact I am curious as to the statistics behind it.

Not true. Historically the stores came about for social reasons such as increase Asian population etc. US president having a chief cook has nothing do with it.
