The term Asian is too broad. I am East Asian, or an older term would be Oriental, i.e. Eastern. 동양 東洋 is what East Asians use (Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Taiwanese, etc.) And we call the West 서양 西洋, the Occident. Eastern, Western, Oriental, Occidental. What f***king idiot made the term Oriental politically-incorrect. South Asians are not related to East Asians, not anymore than Whites, Blacks, Polynesians, American-Indians, etc. Now that the term Asian-American has to include all these non-East Asians, means the term Asians doesn't mean anything at all anyway.
