Indian=Asian
I don’t believe he means Indians, when he says Asians. Using Oriental for Asians is a British idiom and not an American one.
He means Orientals, if you need me to use a word that makes sense to you. I can guarantee you that he’s not going to punish his fellow Indians to put DEI into practice. For Indians, racial quotas are useful to them to cut out economic competitors, like whites and Asians and allows him to primarily hire Indians.
