I'd say it falls in the same vein as saying asian or middle eastern culture. Yes, it's overly broad and does ultimately conflate different cultures under a singular banner, but I'm also not going to say it's a deliberate fraud so much as it's an easier catch-all term than being overly specific.
Also, if the whole world and every other race was seemingly against the "Asian" grouping, and schools were even teaching Asians to hate themselves, it would make sense to embrace the identity. Sure, don't let it erase the sub-identities, but if your enemies have grouped you together for extermination, maybe group together to fight against against it too.
I wouldn't go so far as to embrace, I just don't think that a catch-all term is a form of 4D chess. Should we lose our shit over terms like "Westerner" or "First World" since those too are catch-all terms that "erase" cultural identities? Why limit it to countries even? Surely calling someone American would be just as much of an "erasure" to people who are from Florida or Oregon since you could argue they too have unique cultures despite overlap.
This idea of "erasure" is, in my opinion, not significantly different from the idiots that try to endlessly categorise everyone into rigid definitions. I might prefer to be more specific, but I'm not going to sperg out and assume conspiracy over a catch-all. IdPol is IdPol.
Nah, it's fraud. They do they same to east-asians for the same reason
Thinking Japan, Korea and China are the same culturally is blatantly ignorant. So, why is thinking Italians, British and Swedes are the same socially accepted?
Hispanics too, they got real mad their "latinx" allies didn't vote for Kamala
Pretty sure the whole concept of "white" culture is a deliberate fraud to try and erase individual northern cultural identities.

There in lies the fraud. Create a crisis in which the provided solution is to abandon one's own identity.
You can be multiple things at once.

It's a euphemism for Christianity. Once you realise that it all makes sense.
