Are Middle Easterners considered Asian?

It depends. Most of the Middle East is part of Asia, so it is not a stretch to call Middle Easterners Asian in the same way that Russians living in Siberia are Asian. However, typically the term Asian has become the politically correct term in the USA to replace Oriental (the word referring to the peoples of East Asia, like Chinese, Mongolian, Korean, and Japanese). This causes much confusion between which inhabitants of Asia are being considered by the term "Asian". Many Indians prefer to be called Brown or Desi to differentiate themselves from the preconception of "Asian". Middle Easterners similarly like to identify by national or ethnic group. The United States census, however, identifies all Europeans, Middle Easterners, and North Africans as being Caucasian. Egypt is in the Middle East but is in Africa, not Asia.
