The Middle East is... Not Asia. Try Iraq. this actully brings up an interesing questions we dicussed in my AP history class, on most race tests, they will put, asian, caucasian, latiano, black, and other, but what if they dont put other, middle easterns aren't caucasian, and they are located on the conteinet of asia, but they dont call themselves asian, and do not look like the typical 'asian'. when we say 'asain' we are talking about orental not 'asain' same as russians 'usually' will put down caucasian, rather then asian even though like 90% of russia is in asia, fyi a similar thing with india You're right, that's positively compelling!!
