+139 When you think of Asians, you think of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean people, and not of Russians or Indians, even though though they are from Asia as well, amirite?

Yeah! And what about the Mongolians and the Afghans and the Malaysians ... and all the other smaller nations, like North and South Korea and Tibet etc etc?

It says Korea.

Also, Tibet is not a nation. You could have included the Middle Eastern countries in your list as they are also not considered "Asian" but geographically speaking absolutely are.

The russian population do not live in asia, the russians are european. The area above asia that russia occupies is siberia, basically nobody lives there. Russians aren't asians.

And when you think of Caucasians, you think of white people, not Indians or Arabs.

I know arabs do, but do Indians really count as white?

They count as Caucasian I think.

Also, this isn't really true for people in the UK - who tend to think of Asians as Indians and Pakistanis. Chinese/Korean/Japanese used to be known as "orientals" and indeed still are by some. Interesting how immigration affects our pereceptions!
