in the present is asia a black african dominated region: no.
africa is the region of the world that remains to this today, the most dominated numerically by african blacks.
it is the home base. it is where all other black africoid (african in appearance) groups migrated from ancient times til now. therefore it is a useful term to describe people of a common phenotype, lineage and/or cultural heritage.
when i say "Asian", i do not think of the blacks occupying the hinterlands of the phillipines, they to me are africans, while the majority of the filipino population is not due to major differences in phenotype, lineage and culture..
i do not subscribe to your "original people" vain attempts of including all "coloured" groups into one bland "asiatic" grouping.
