Chinese and Koreans hate the Japanese (living in both, I can attest).

Mongolians are extremely xenophobic (living in China with Mongolian neighbors, I can attest).

Cambodians detest the Vietnamese (the Khmer have always viewed the Vietnamese in hostile light).

ASIAN is not a monolith!!!!

My wife hates being called Asian because she is Chinese. She is from CHINA. . .not Asia! Asia is a continent.

And looking Asian includes South Asian? West Asian?

Turkmen don't look "Asian," but are. Iranians don't look Asian, but are. Kazakhs don't look Asian, but are.

What the fuck does looking Asian look like? Hell, the Uyghurs in China are Chinese, but don't look "Chinese." Living there, people thought I was a Uyghur due to my skin tone and my Chinese ability.
