>_> If you speak to anyone from these 'segregated nations', I'm sure they'd tell you they consider themselves Asian. Sure, they have their own little nicknames, like pinoys/pinays, but still overall they're Asian. So it's appropriate and acceptable that I refer to him Asian. At least it's not as insulting as if I were to call him Oriental.

And I agree, you need to take a step back from what these people tell you and start going to find out for yourself.
