Both are conjunctions. Please note that "As" has several meanings. "While" and "as" are interchangeable only if it means "during the time that" For example; While/As I was taking a shower, the bell rang. Or While/As they were watching TV, the police arrived. And "while" is often followed by continuous form. Otherwise, they are not interchangeable. For example; Kate arrived early, as I expected. "As" here means "in the way that" She went to bed early as she had a meeting at 8 am. "As" here means "because" Hopefully, I didnot make it more confusing!!!

While is used when you are talking about two things that happen at the same time. Usually, followed by past continous sentence. Example: She came, while I was reading. Mom was eating, while I was cooking. Here is the use of "as" Example: As time passed, I started to love him again. As you grow older, you will understand the meaning of life.

This is forever forever until death to refuse all Asian. However, I don't have nor do I want any responsibility for this country, so don't bother me. Clearly, my man is perpetually, not bitch Taiwanese or any other Asian, don't dream I will have any friendship or relationship with Asian, is not discrimination. Other Asian females I don't know at all. If you continue to ask me a lot or make any voices to pass messages for your bitch rubbish Asian nations, especially from bitch Taiwanese criminal activities without police officers, only attacking me, for my previous Western men for you bitch rubbish Asian females, why don't to die directly and don't close to me a little bit? I don't want to bitch rubbish is female or male. I don't help any one for relationship or friendship, is legal, certainly, I don't have help any one to connect Asian, so to notice me is useless. Are you sure I must die for Asian or anyone becuase I have ne'er fallen in love with any Asian? That is the point to they still notice when I will die becuase I really don't want to marry Asian for personal choice. Still don't say you don't have any beneifts to use me for other social life or anything they want, just sacrifice me directly.
