I’m a little tired of the use of the demographic “Asian”. It has no meaning except in the mind of people who don’t think too deeply. Do the Japanese have any ethic, cultural, or religious ties to Pakistanis? How about Sri Lankans and Mongolians? What about Koreans and Israelis? Russians and Filipinos? They’re all “Asian” but may not be perceived or reported that way. The point is that data presented the way it is currently being done is useless and misleading at best, and needs to be broken down into some meaningful measure.
Then let’s say east-Asian, or (horrors) that old term “Oriental.”
