Absolutely. The term “Asian” has a completely different meaning in UK than here.Over there it means South Asians, not East Asians as in the US.
I don’t even know if Indians are counted as Asians here. If they are, it would be very weird, as Indians have at least as much in common with Europeans as with Chinese or Koreans.
We used to have a perfectly good term for East Asians, Orientals, which just means Easterners, which is geographically accurate. But for some obscure, and to me unexplained, reason the term became politically incorrect.
The US government counts Indians as Asians. Persians/Iranians apparently are counted as Caucasians/White even though they are related to the people of northern India. Apparently Afghanis may be considered Asians, though they are related to the Persians. There’s also trouble trying to fit some of the population groups in Russia into the US government’s categories.
