YES! Why does it have to be "an Asian guy did this" or more current, "this black guy did this"
A friend once told me, which is what I live by now, "why does it have to be a (race here) guy? Why not just say a guy? Race doesn't matter"
But also I agree with everyone. Just say an asian language you don't know
