Well let’s be clear, when I think of Asian, I think of Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, Vietnamese, but not necessarily Indian, so would I be correct?

Yes, Asians are typically considered orientals.

South Asians - Indians, Pakistanis, Arabs, Sri Lankans, Blagladeshis and a bunch of others are excluded.

However, we are all “Asians”. :-)

LOL! look at a map, is India in Asia?

Just cultural conditioning, in America Asians are Orientals only.

However, from Iraq to Japan is Asia!
