East Asian, south Asian, southeast Asian, etc.
In England when they say "Asian" they usually mean Indian or Pakistani. Here we usually mean East Asian like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.

My point is that the same whites that get bent over "African American" over the technicality that most black Americans have never been to Africa never apply the same logical test to Asians here in the US.

Maybe we should stop referring to people by race at all
Unless a physical description is needed we shouldn't have to use it. We are all human no matter what after all.

Black.
Unless I'm around conservatives. Then I say African American. Just to piss them off.
Its all part of a larger assault on Christmas.
