well most of em identify with their nationality, not the continent. I've heard Vietnamese, Japanese, and Chinese individuals refer to themselves as Asian. I've never heard an Indian refer to themselves as being Asian. I'm sure one person will skim past my first sentence so I'll go ahead and add this

Over here in England they refer to Indians as Asian...which they are... it kinda threw me off when I first heard someone say it. In the states Asian is used to refer only to East Asians
It's all arbitrary; when someone says, "Oh, he's Asian!" I automatically think of the Dustin Nguyens or Jackie Chans... Loosey Lius.

I'm sure from a geographical and grandular context, Indians are considered legitmate Asians, but they aren't orientals from a social American perspective.

The word Asia originated from the Ancient Greek word Ασία, first attributed to Herodotus (about 440 BC) in reference to Anatolia or, for the purposes of describing the Persian Wars, to the Persian Empire, in contrast to Greece and Egypt. Herodotus comments that he is puzzled as to why three women's names are used to describe one land mass (Europa, Asia, and Libya, referring to Africa), stating that most Greeks assumed that Asia was named after the wife of Prometheus but that the Lydians say it was named after Asias, son of Cotys who passed the name on to a tribe in Sardis.
Even before Herodotus, Homer knew of a Trojan ally named Asios, son of Hyrtacus, a ruler over several towns, and elsewhere he describes a marsh as ασιος (Iliad 2, 461). The Greek term may be derived from Assuwa, a 14th century BC confederation of states in Western Anatolia. Hittite assu- = "good" is probably an element in that name.
Alternatively, the ultimate etymology of the term may be from the Akkadian word (w)aṣû(m), which means "to go out" or "to ascend", referring to the direction of the sun at sunrise in the Middle East, and also likely connected with the Phoenician word asa meaning east. This may be contrasted to a similar etymology proposed for Europe, as being from Semitic erēbu "to enter" or "set" (of the sun). However, this etymology is considered doubtful, because it does not explain how the term "Asia" first came to be associated with Anatolia, which is west of the Semitic-speaking areas, unless they refer to the viewpoint of a Phoenician sailor sailing through the straits between the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea.
