Babes from Southern Asia: middle eastern or asian ethnic?
I'm confused about girls from India or other neighboring countries. Should they be marked under the Asian ethnicity or under the Middle East?
Or is it better to add another ethnicity?

And Indians are Asian. Just ask a Brit, lol.
When Americans think of Asians they usually think of people from East Asia (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.).
But when the British think of Asians they think of people from South Asia (Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, etc.).
So, for the sake of simplicity, Indians should just be categorized as Asian.
The US government counts Middle Easterners as white and yet they are a separate category here.
It doesn't matter what the UK government classifies South Asians as, it would still be a good idea to have them as a separate category.
