Do non-Asians see Asians as a single race?

Answer 1

Well, Asians are all different. Remember, Asia stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. A lot of countries are in Asia but not all of them are directly related. Non-Asians tend to think of Asians as a single race when applying to Eastern Asians (AKA Asian countries along the Pacific Coast) because they look similar. When you go deep into Central Asia, facial features start to dramatically differ and you can distinguish Asians more easily. For example, Indians look somewhat similar to Pakistanis but both of them look way different from Russians. Into the Middle East, which is technically part of Asia, you can separate them from the Easter Asians but deciding where they came from is troubling. Overall, the general misconception is that Asians are only limited to countries along the Pacific Ocean such as China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, etc. when really it applies to all of Asia.
