| | Asian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | There can be no doubt that Turkish, Semites (Arabs, Syrians, Bedouins, Israelis, etc.) Uzbekistanis, and the indigenous peoples of Siberia, and so on, are all "Asians" in the continental sense, but they are not considered a part of the races of people named "Asian" for the purpose of the U.S. Census. | | | "Asian" is often considered a more polite (or, some would say, more politically correct) alternative to "Oriental". | | | Because single categorization of "Asians" somewhat implies a form of homogeneity which does not exist, the term is rarely used to denote people from Asia in general (such as Israelis) and is more often used to refer to people from a specific region, namely South Asia and/or East Asia. |

| | Asian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The US Census's definition of "Asian" does not, however include Arabs, or other peoples living in the Near East or Middle East. | | | "Asian" is often considered a more polite (or, some would say, more politically correct) alternative to "Oriental". | | | Although some ethnic Russians hail from Asia (descendants of people shipped off to Siberia centuries ago, among other settlers), these people are not racially classified as "Asian" in most countries (including the United States) because their ancestors were Caucasian, rather than Mongoloid. |
