I understand the need for language to delineate racial categories, but having a single term to describe people with family origins on either side of the Himalayas is especially odd, since their experience in the United States is quite dissimilar

Your point is well taken, but "Asian" has a defined meaning (perhaps a silly meaning, but defined) in federal regulations. "The U.S. Census Bureau must adhere to the 1997 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) standards on race and ethnicity"https://www.census.gov/topics/population/race/about.html …

I like that they had to define it, and would love to know how much bureaucratic knife fighting went into that "originally". Any category that lumps together Bengali, Japanese, Filipino and Pashtun people is A+++ in my book.
