[Agnes Heep]

Agnes falls for the mistake of using the term Asian. That's a bogey word. There were only 2 continents in the old world -- Eurasia and Africa. When Agnes said Asian, she means Mongoloid groups. Arabs, Persians, indians, Mediterraneans etc. live in warmer climes than say Mongols, but are Caucasian.

Yes, that is absolutely right. Mongoloid, Caucasoid and Negroid tend to confuse people who don't understand the distinction, so I tend to say Asian, African and European.

Incidentally, there is so much racial overlap nowadays that within a hundred years or so I'm guessing you might not be able to make a clear distinction concerning who is what.

Yes, but again, those terms aren't completely correct for the reasons I've stated above -- are present in significant numbers on all three continents, with the greatest percentage of Caucasians in Asia.

The point about racial distinctions getting overlapped is quite valid. in the year 900, in what is now present day Englad, there were numerous Kingdoms and Danish, Saxons, Celts all mixed together, but they were separate peoples. By 1400 those differences had faded and they all became English. By 1900, Scottish, Welsh, English -- there aren't that many external differences any more. Humanity has moved in closer and closer over the centuries.
