Asia includes all countries from Turkey all the way to Japan
And most of Russia. Hard to believe the actress is first Asian. First Oriental may be.

True. Israel, Iran, India, and China are all Asian. Not much in common ethnically, religiously, or culturally.

First Oriental may be.

I was told by an Oriental woman in the 1990s that "Oriental" was racist. The proper term for her was "Asian."

It seems East Asians have monopolized the title of "Asian." Indians are sometimes called "South Asian."

In CRT terminology, "Asian" has been colonized by "yellow privilege." Turks, Israelis, Iraqis, Iranians, Indians, Indonesians, etc. must unite to "decenter and decolonize yellowness" to "reclaim their Asianness" and end "yellow privilege."
