“He means Orientals, if you need me to use a word that makes sense”

Thank you! Orientals.

I never knew Indians are “Asian”. Just like I’ve heard that Hispanics more are “White”. People need to quit monkeying around with what’s true.

Next week I wouldn’t be surprised to learn the the word, “Asian”, is offensive and taboo.

[Wallace T.]

The dictionary meaning of Asian is someone who comes from or whose forebears came from the Asian continent. That means that people defined as white under statutory law, such as Turks, Lebanese, and Syrians, are actually Asians. So are the Russians who live in the Asian portion of the Russian Federation. The whole race issue is a pretext to divide the American population and is fundamentally a Communist concept. Even the term, racism, was coined by Leon Trotsky, Lenin's chief assistant.

I never knew Indians are “Asian”.

I work with teams in Europe and Asia daily - it's an eye-opener to realize that the rest of the world is referring to Indians when they say "Asian". This is especially true in the UK, but it's pretty much true that "Asian" includes "Indian" everywhere except the US - here, our liberals decided that "Oriental" was no longer acceptable, so we use the word "Asian" for the people we used to call "Oriental".
