I disagree. I'm not gonna dumb down it. I used asian in the right context with how it's understood today. Anyone with a brain knew what I meant. It's not rocket science. If you don't know understand, I don't care. If you want to fixate on semantics and forget the forest for the trees, I don't care. No one ever says east asian. What kind of asinine shit is that? Are you serious?

Well you should ask real Asians about how its done. We all know that western southern Asia is the middle east Then places like Kazakhstan and China etc are central Asia. We in Pakistan and out neighbors to the east India and Bangladesh and Srilanka are South Asia and the islands east of us are South East Asia and countries like the Koreas and Japan are East Asia. I don't where the hell Russia comes in I've never heard of North Asia but that would be it. See the entire continent of Asia from an Asian perspective

I'm part Japanese.  Most of these places won't call themselves as East Asian or some other silly shit. Most of these places think of themselves as their country and not as asian. It's clear that most places don't go by outdated definitions of certain things. For example, the latin word for black. Meanings change. Maps change. It's idiotic to fixate on semantics when they're outdated.
