Of course it is not OK to ask that. Would it be OK to ask "how many Asian people is there on the team"?

If you were asian? Yes, absolutely. This is a woman asking how many women are on the team. It's completely relevant to her interests.

Bullshit. Would you also argue that it's okay to ask how many white men work there if you were a white man? If it is a job where things like race, gender, age etc have no effect on the work itself, any of those questions are completely inappropriate regardless of who is asking.
