Dunno-Rajesh, Richard, Tom, whatever their names are?
Certainly not Asian though, to my mind the features of most sub-continetals are much more caucasian than Asian.
I've comprimised and started using the term "South-Asian" when there is chance of confusion with East Asian, much like using First Nations to avoid confusion with with Indians.
According to our friend Wikipedia I'm not alone in my thinking:

According to our friend Wikipedia I'm not alone in my thinking:
In the United States, Canada, and Australia, the term refers most commonly to people of predominantly East Asian or Southeast Asian ancestry; however in the United Kingdom and Anglophone Africa, the term refers most commonly to South Asians.[7][8] In other countries, the term is applied to all people from Asia in general. In the US, however, Middle Eastern and Central Asian people are usually not considered Asian peoples.[9]
Guess I'll stick with South Asian, then there'll be no confusion with those Brits or Anglophone Africans.
