A comment on MRI Brain Images Just Got 64M Times Sharper. Parent comment
In Australia (where I initially moved from), the term "Asian" does indeed refer to people from East or Southeast Asia.
But it turns out for people in the UK, the term "Asian" refers to people from India (and immediate area I guess).
(!) For East/Southeast Asia, they use the term "Oriental".
It sure surprised the heck out of me.
