There is no misconception. People are usually identified by their race, and Asians are a distinct race. You cannot classify yourself as an Asian because people from the Indian subcontinent are not Asians by race. They are usually considered Caucasians (dark-skinned). The same thing applies to all the people from Russia and the Middle East (they are all Caucasians).
