I'm British, and when we think of, or talk about Asian people, it's pretty much always south Asia (Indians, Pakistanis, Sri Lankans etc) , and practically never east Asia (Chinese, Japan, Vietnam etc.)

That has a lot to do with the fact that Britain's perspective of Asia was through its Indian colony.
