Well asian in general in the US includes south-east asians, but not Indians/Pakistanis.
>and the fucking pacific peoples getting called 'asian' by >you lazy americans???? whatdafuck is that about???
That's not really done actually, they're referred to as pacific islanders rather than asian. But aside from Hawaiians, most Americans would probably just call them Samoan, whether they're specifically Samoan or not. Like those guys you showed, most Americans would call them Samoan, nobody would call them asian.
