"Asian" also means different things to different folks. I got into a conversation with a poster I know from the UK (different forum). There'd been some news story local to her that had mentioned "two Asian youths" who were wanted for questioning by the police. Most of the American posters on that forum had an image of two Chinese, Japanese or Thai guys, but all of the other posters from the UK said that, to them, it meant Indian or Pakistani.

Here, someone from Pakistan or India might easily be mistaken for, and called "Middle Eastern." Even though India is part of Asia, we don't often associate the subcontinent with the term "Asian." It makes little sense, but "Asian" is most often mistaken for a racial characteristic rather than a geographic one.

Hell, a Russian from Siberia is technically "Asian" as well, but in the US we'd never call them "Asian."

It's all semantics.

Ah, I bet you have a kick-ass Welsh accent though, don't you? heh

Like many Americans, I'm a mix: a full quarter French (via Quebec), a good 50% from the British Isles (mostly English, but with some Welsh and Scots in there for flavor) and 25% German. Nothing terribly exotic.
