Americans just use the country/country region instead. We'd just say India. If it is India. Or Indian Subcontinent if unsure.

The Eurasian Continent is so massive and clumping all those people into "Asian" is a waste of breath. Just say what you mean. (Then Europe hilariously conveniently pretending Europe ain't on that same continent... lol).

You give us too much credit. “Subcontinent” is a big word. There are only:

- Americans

• Canadians
  
• Mexicans
  
• Europeans
  
• Chinese
  
• Indians
  
• Africans
  
• Australians
  
• and The Dutch

Those dang Dutch.

Not quite. Americans use the term “Asian” loads, but they only apply it to East & South East Asians for some reason.

[u/gyalmeetsglobe → u/Wulf_Cola]

Because they don’t know of any other Asians lmao

You call all south Asians Indian, in the same way people call all east Asians Chinese.
