A new movie coming out called Crazy Rich Asians, and a lot of stupid commentators started commenting the use of word "Asians" and how the movie did not encompassing all the Asians. Why can't people fully understand the context before they comment. Not only the movie was based on a book with the same title, it is really meaningless to ask the book author to name the book differently.
Also, in American culture, "Asians" implies East and Southeast Asians. On the other hand, in England, "Asians" implies South Asians. Maybe I should be more upset regarding the recent BBC Asian Network's Big Comedy Night with no East and Southeast Asians representation?
