The perspective of "Asians" representating an entire continent was invented to obscure the origin of rape gangs in Britain. I would guess that, according to you, white people are Asian because Russia is also in Asia. Also, take notice that I'm not calling you any names or attempting to insult you. You could learn something from that at least.

Yes, if they originated from the area of Russia that falls within Asia they are Asian. Take for example Armenia, Iran, and Syria. All those countries fall within a region of Asia, and yet a good majority of the people from those countries are very white. This argument would also hold up if you are talking about Europeans. Europe, much like Asia, is a blend of various countries, cultures, and faiths. So if that's the case, why would you not hold Europeans to the same standard? If you want to come back and tell me you don't because you would rather refer to them by home country, then why would you find it difficult to refer to them as European? Isn't an Italian just as European as an Austrian or a Spaniard?

I would call Russians European because they have cultural roots with Europe such as sharing music, dance, language, history, government, etc. There are Asiatic Russians who are more similar to native Americans that I would not call European. They grow in concentration the further east you go. I would call Iranians Iranians and most middle easterners Arabs. Calling everyone east of Europe "Asian" seems, to me, an eradication of information value. Might as well just call them easterners. It doesn't really tell you anything about who you're referring to.
