Lol, they're using the British definition of Asian, including Indians and Pakistanis etc. News flash, in America, when people say "Asian", they mean almost exclusively East Asian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese. So yeah, if you start mixing in a bunch of other groups, including Pacific Islanders, you're going to end up with different results from the people only thinking about East Asians.
They still put them in the same group. I know a few pakis who were bitching about not being able to go to med school because too many Chinese/Japanese were enrolled.
