I do this, and I'm not more than 12.5% Asian. I bought a few colored ones online because plain white surgical isn't a cute look. I do this because I don't want my lips/ nose to get dried by wind. Scarves sometimes aren't as good, but I'll probably be wearing both half the time.

I'm a (partly) Asian American on the east coast and the weather is exactly why I wear them. It keeps my face warm and moist.
