Well technically they're both true, right? India is in Asia, and Mexico is in (the continent of) America...

I'm Indian but if I say I'm Asian people automatically think Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc.

Yes and if a Mexican says s/he's American they automatically think US and not Mexico

Actually, that makes perfect sense, I don't know why so many people voted NW. Asian refers to people from Asia, and also the Mongoloid race (commonly known as "Asian"). American refers to people from America(the continent), and also the people of USA. Both statements sound odd because the latter definition of each is the one used most frequently. But technically, they're correct.

because people dont know geography

When people think of Asians, they generally think of Chinese and Korean. India is still in Asia making them Asians. The reason Mexicans aren't considered Amercians is because the country is also called America.

It's the same concept... but if you wanna be technical about it then the technical name for "America" is United States of America.... nobody would get it confused if they said they were from the U.S.
