I never said it wasn't. My point is that if you say "Asian" to a British person they immediately know what you mean, but here on Voat it seems to be very US centric with the language. If I said "Asian" to an American they would think of someone from the Far East correct? Asia encompasses the area as you rightly say, Turkey to Japan

Oh fair enough, I agree. It really annoys me when the yanks get triggered that other english dialects exist.
