Given most of Russia is in Asia, isn't Russia the Russia of Asia?
You know what I mean!
I have a friend who does this every time I say "Asians". He's like "Which Asians? Indians?" And then it's a whole argument where he pretends not to know what the common reference "Asians" means.
In the UK they actually refer to Indians and South Asian people as Asians regularly, and Asians as East Asian (I think?).
Had like a full 10 minute conversation with someone where he was like "yeah you know that Asian kid you hang out with" and I thought he was losing it because there were no (east) Asian kids in our very small university.
