Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Sometimes, but often they are hoping you will offer more specific detail.

Asia is a pretty big place that includes 48 countries from Turkey to Nepal to Thailand to India to Bahrain to Malaysia to China.

Being "Asian" really doesn't reveal a whole lot about one's ethnic or cultural heritage which is why being asked if one is Asian seems slightly less rude/nosy than asking if one is Japanese or Armenian.
