    I’m thinking that many Americans refer to Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans as ‘Asian’ because they honestly have trouble telling the difference. It’s not necessarily geographic ignorance, but ignorance of racial characteristics. They’re afraid of offending a person by referring to him as a member of the wrong race, so they group all of them under one word. Indians, on the other hand, are more easily recognized, and, well, a person of Russian decent who speaks like an American is usually just another white guy.
