The conversation between human and AI assistant.
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?
Do other parts of the world use different terms to refer to people from East Asia?
Yes, some parts of the world use different terms. For example, in Australia and New Zealand, people from East Asia are often referred to as 'East or Southeast Asians'. In the United Kingdom, the term 'Oriental' is sometimes used to describe people from East Asia, although this term is considered offensive in the United States.
