The jew manages to insult Americans while giving a bad answer. Most Americans consider "Asians" to be anyone from the geographic confines of Asia, which is the correct answer. In fact, British often point out that when Americans say "Asians", we would include Pakistanis, Arabs, and Orientals, as well as everyone in between.
A better question to as is, "Who are jews, and what is jewishness?"
Since people all over the world from every race claim to be Jewish, and have nothing genetically in common, Jewishness is an idea, not a biological marker. Ashkenazis, for example, are obviously not middle eastern, and the heavy European/Japhetic admixture would preclude them from participating in Old Covenant worship evenly with the unmixed Hebrews.

Huh? Did you just word this weird? because I think it's the opposite. When Americans say "asian" they basically always mean east asian / "oriental" and not Arab or South Asian. It's Brits who will call Pakistani people "asian" and it's super weird to an American ear.
