“asian” is an overly broad category. It includes people whose backgrounds are extremely different. A Thai is totally different from a Saudi. A Japanese is completely different from a Pakistani. Not even the same planet, let alone the same continent.
“asian” was chosen so as to deliberately create a huge victim category. Just as “gay” was broadened to “LGBT”. There is nothing remotely similar about a gay woman and a “transgendered” whatever. Nothing. Yet they are now both in the same victim category.
Enough with the victim categories.
I agree wholeheartedly. You can be a white Russian from Siberia or anywhere west of the Urals and you are an Asian. Indian, Pakistani etc. and you are an Asian.
