Why do Americans call people from the Far East (i.e. China, Japan, Korea, etc.) Asians, when they should actually be referred to as East Asians?
But it seems like using the term 'Asian' could be confusing, especially since there are so many different cultures and ethnicities within Asia.
Yes, that's true. However, the term 'Asian' has become the accepted term in American English for people from East Asia, as well as people from South Asia, Southeast Asia, and other regions within the continent of Asia.
