I believe you are spreading misinformation here.

The Census Bureau determines ethnicity and race within America for legal purposes (including employment)

Asians are people from 'the far east' 'southeast asia' and 'india'

https://www.census.gov/mso/www/training/pdf/race-ethnicity-o...

BY NO MEANS am I defending this, I believe much of our race 'stuff' is indefensibly stupid and unscientific from biological, historical, and sociological perspectives, and the American idea of "Asian" is one of the worst concepts of all.

It's not misinformation. Colloquially when people in the US say "asian" they are only rarely referring to Indians or Pakistanis or Bangladeshis. They are almost always referring to Chinese or Japanese or Koreans.

The census may use different groupings.
