Americans have this weird definition where Asian only equates with East Asia... don't ask why, it makes no sense to even have to fill this on paper.

- cyberpsybin 5y agoThey define "Asians" by race and looks. Typical.
- commandlinefan 5y agoWell, that's not necessarily an American thing. For a long time, the race that's currently described as "asian" was called "oriental" and specifically referred to that race. For some reason, the more specific term "oriental" fell out of favor (and is even considered offensive now, although I'm not quite sure why) and was replaced with the more generic, and somewhat confusing, "asian".
- kesava 5y ago"Asians" doesnt mean much, if it has to mean someone from the continent of Asia, given 60% of world population is from Asia.
- anonleb4 5y agoSweden includes all people from the Asian continent as Asians in their stats.
