Just want to respond to this because it is a pet peeve of mine. There's a cultural habit of using Asian along with our other labels (black, latino or hispanic, white, native, desi), but Asian is a word not like the others, as it refers to a continent and makes you think maybe the person or their parents is really from that continent. I wish we had another word or another set of words, as there are plenty of folks in California whose Asian-American families have been in the area for a century and a half. Oh well.
