Russia is also in Asia, but you rarely hear them called Asians. Indians are rarely lumped in either. Lumping dissimilar peoples together never made much sense to me - even Continents are arbitrary divisions.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoThere are some Russians that look really Mongolian (and probably are close to Mongolian ethnically), and of course pass for East Asians. There is a lot of land between Novosibirsk and Vladivostok.
- lastofthemojito 5y agoLooking at it on a map can be deceiving though. About 80% of Russia is in Asia, but about 80% of Russia's population lives in European Russia.
