    In Britain “Asian” means you’re from India, Bangladesh or Pakistan. Not from Japan etc. Then you’re from the Far East.

      Okay, but what if you, you know, like, ask people from Asia what “Asian” means?

    Maybe they’re counting Japanese people as Pacific Islanders? Which imo seems more racist somehow.

      Well I guess you could argue that it is a bunch of islands in the pacific

      Technically true, though. The connotation paints a wildly incorrect picture, but Japan does consist of islands in the pacific…
